Kia Sportage facelift brings along major changes

Car spies have tracked down a 2025 Kia Sportage as it was being tested in Europe. It had shed a little camo by then, so you can tell the front end looks markedly different from before. The premiere date remains to be announced, says Carscoops.

New highlights include a rectangular radiator grille, a different front bumper and redesigned headlights. The vertical DRLs seem to reside inside C-shaped sections of the main lights.

The outlines of the new Sportage are more or less the same as those of the original car. The taillights are new and the rear bumper looks different due to the apparent removal of the skid plate (it was an imitation, anyway).

We can look forward to the same engine options as before. The latest Sportage is available with a variety of powertrains and assorted hybrid options. The output ranges from 150 to 265 PS (148–261 hp; 110–195 kW). Depending on your chosen spec, all-electric range can reach 69 km (43 miles).
