They say never change a winning team, but Kia can’t let its best-selling model stand still while the competition moves forward. With nearly 570,000 units delivered last year, the Sportage was the company’s most popular product, accounting for just over 18 percent of total deliveries. That’s even though the fifth-generation model debuted back in 2021, though it did receive a mid-cycle facelift three years later.
Courtesy of YouTuber Healer TV, Kia has now been spotted testing the next-generation model on its home turf. A heavily camouflaged prototype of the redesigned Sportage appears to conceal a more upright shape. At the same time, we get the impression the test vehicle is slightly larger than the current model.
