2023 Kia Sportage India Launch Expected Next Year | V3Cars
Kia took the wraps off the fifth-gen Sportage for the European markets last year. The new SUV has been designed keeping the needs of the European markets in mind. It incorporates the new-age design of Kia and new N3 architecture. Now, it seems Kia are likely to consider the 2023 Sportage for the Indian market.
The 2023 Kia Sportage features a bolder and more curvy design compared to the rather boxy styling of the older model. The new N3 architecture of the 2023 Sportage offers more legroom, headroom and luggage carrying capacity. It measures 4,515mm in length, 1,815mm in width and 1,645mm in height and boasts a wheelbase of 2,680mm.
As per Kia, the 2023 Sportage breaks new boundaries in terms of dynamics, comfort and performance. The new N3 architecture has been tuned meticulously and gets an adaptive suspension to deliver a combination of precise handling and comfort. Kia have also used premium materials on the inside, giving the new Sportage a richer in-cabin experience.
