Kia's fourth-generation Sportage has landed in Australia, bringing with it a bold new look, more technology, improved refinement, better handling and a more spacious interior.
Prices have jumped markedly though. While the previous-generation 2WD Sportage Si petrol retailed at $25,990, its all-new replacement starts at $28,990.
That's not all. A range restructure sees all petrol Si and SLi models become strictly FWD-only machines, while a base model Sportage Si Diesel gets added to the range. The Platinum petrol also scores an engine upgrade, ditching its 2.0 litre four for a 2.4 litre direct-injected unit.
After an intriguing teaser campaign, the covers have come off the Opel GT coupe, and a Vauxhall badged version along with a slew of details ahead of the sportscar’s Geneva Motor Show debut.
Initially suspected to be based off the Astra, the GT instead remains true to its RWD roots, with a front-mid mounted engine and rear wheel drive.
Like the original Opel Experimental GT of 1965 the new concept also sports conjoined dual central exhaust outlets, a long bonnet, and no boot lid.
