[See image gallery at www.autoguide.com] You won’t be mistaking the Sportage for anything else when it arrives later this year. Say it in your best Keanu voice: whoa. After just a week since teasing the 2023 Sportage, Kia unveiled the design in full late Monday. It’s a dramatic new look inside and out, as Kia prepares its best-selling model to battle the likes of the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. SEE ALSO: Toyota RAV4 vs Nissan Rogue Comparison We’ve commended Kia before for the way its latest designs look similar to one another without being copies, and this new Sportage pushes the envelope. The front end adapts the brand’s tiger noise grille to its latest “Opposites United” design language, and the result is both unique yet distinctly Kia. The nostrils above the grille give the Sportage a welcome bit of aggression, while the diamond-shaped headlights work far better than the shape would suggest. LED strips slice through the grille and headlights—they have a bit of Mitsubishi to their shape, but the surrounding detailing ensures the Sportage nose looks unique. http://www.autoguide.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2021/06/2023-Kia-Sportage-Revealed-03-679x476.jpg Moving across the side of the Sportage, Kia has used two character lines to emphasize the rear haunches. A small bit of textured chrome-like trim along the window line vissually ties the Sportage to other new Kias like the Sportage and Carnival. At the reaar are two taillights connected via a black trim piece. SEE ALSO: 2021 Kia Sportage Review: In Search of Mojo Kia has pulled off a similar transformation inside the Sportage as well. A large curved screen groups the instrument panel and central infotainment screen together, a move typically reserved for premium cars costing three times a Sportage does. Flanking the screen are angular air vents, with the climate controls sitting below it all. The center console plays host to a rotary gear selector, with wheel and seat temperature controls to the right. The whole package is done up in an excellent creme-and-blue color scheme; it’s good to see the more adventurous interior color options aren’t only limited to Genesis in the Hyundai family group. http://www.autoguide.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2021/06/2023-Kia-Sportage-Revealed-04-679x373.jpg The Sportage will share its platform with the excellent new Hyundai Tucson. Because of this, we expect the engine and drivetrain options to mirror its sibling, translating to four-cylinder engines and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. The Tucson’s regular hybrid and plug-in hybrid options should also carry over. The 2023 Kia Sportage will go on sale before the end of the year. Kia will reveal more North American information leading up to the crossover’s launch. Become an AutoGuide insider.

Expect Kia’s daring design language to continue with the RAV4-fighting Sportage. The latest in Kia’s product offensive is the first official look at the next-generation Kia Sportage, released late Sunday. The best-selling crossover in the Korean brand’s lineup will see a major change for 2022, and these first teasers suggest it will be a dramatic one. SEE ALSO: 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Review: Stylin’ On You The current Sportage has been with us since the 2017 model year, making it one of the oldest models in the brand’s portfolio. This new Sportage will share its platform with the latest Hyundai Tucson, and there’s certainly a hint of its sibling in its general shape. The Kia goes for an altogether smoother look though, with traditional round wheel arches. The front-end uses the latest evolution of Kia’s “Tiger Nose” grille, with the headlights evidently intersecting it. What’s more, there seem to be two additional outlets just above the grille. We get a hint of K5 right now, but with a meaner feel better suited to a crossover. http://www.autoguide.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2021/06/2022-Kia-Sportage-Teaser-02-679x383.jpeg Around back, the influence instead comes from Kia’s upcoming EV6 electric crossover. A curved tailgate reminds us of the EV, along with the rakish angle of the rear glass. The taillights appear to join together, either by a thin LED strip or simply a black trim piece. We can just make out a texture on the D-pillar, a theme Kia has used on the 2022 Carnival. SEE ALSO: Kia Carnival vs Chrysler Pacifica vs Toyota Sienna Comparison It’s inside where the Sportage sees the biggest—and most welcome—changes. A large curved piece of glass stretches from the wheel across the center console (a la EV6), combining the instrument panel and main infotainment. We expect this will actually comprise of two screens “invisibly” joined. We would also be surprised if it’s standard on all trim levels of the production car. Nonetheless, it’s a striking look, especially with the angular vents framing it. We can just make out a few climate control buttons below the screen, as well. http://www.autoguide.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2021/06/2022-Kia-Sportage-Teaser-03-679x380.jpeg We expect the Sportage to largely mirror the Tucson’s drivetrain options. That would include the hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions. SEE ALSO: 2021 Kia Sportage Review: In Search of Mojo We’ll find out more about the 2022 Kia Sportage at its design reveal event June 8.
