The interior of the Sportage facelift borrows design cues from the EV9 and EV3, featuring a sleek dashboard with three integrated infotainment screens, a wireless charging pad, and a sporty three-spoke steering wheel. It also includes a heads-up display, smart infotainment controls, and other modern conveniences.
According to Korean Car Blog, the Sportage facelift is expected to offer two new powertrain options: a hybrid and an all-electric version, aligning with Kia’s electrification plans in its home market. The current Kia Sportage in South Korea is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 148 horsepower, paired with a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
For the mid-cycle refresh, the dual-clutch transmission is likely to be replaced by an eight-speed automatic. The Sportage facelift is also expected to be equipped with advanced safety features such as collision avoidance and adaptive cruise control.
