2016 Kia Sportage Spied Testing

Kia’s next-generation Sportage has made its first appearance on public roads this week, wrapped in heavy camouflage for some cold-weather testing.

But, despite the coveralls, a number of the new Sportage’s styling details can be seen through the frost and thick padding.

Up front, we’ll see Kia’s bold new evolution of its familiar ‘Tigernose’ grille, revealed by the big new Sorento SUV and Carnival people-mover as a more upright, wide and chrome-heavy take on the design.
