The redesigned was unveiled last month, but on Tuesday the South Korean automaker shared some technical details about this SUV. As expected, nothing is groundbreaking, but the good news is it really doesn't have to be.The first thing you'll probably notice about the redesigned Sportage is its more assertive styling, which was inspired by the upcoming electric hatchback/crossover/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. Front and center, the Sportage now wears a revised version of the brand's signature Tiger Nose grille, which is similar to what we've seen on other redesigned Kias, carlos-recalde including the and SUVs, as well as the new . With extra visual tension in its bodywork, this SUV is far more planted and solid-looking than the outgoing model.The new was a collaborative effort, designed by the company's studios in Korea, China, Germany and the US. Despite so many inputs, the vehicle is distinctive and handsome (at least in these photos). For added visual pizzazz, the Sportage will be available with a black roof, while a broad range of different wheels will be offered spanning between 17 and 19 inches.
