KIA Pakistan launched 4th gen Sportage in the local market in 2019. It’s been almost 4 years and the company hasn’t introduced its next generation (5th) in Pakistan, which is already available in Europe, North America, and Australia. Due to this, many are expecting the KIA Sportage 2024 Model to be launched next year.
However, the variants closest to the current KIA Sportage in Pakistan are only available in Australia. So, we will discuss the 5th generation Australian KIA Sportage (with 2.0L & 1.6L petrol engines) as the expected Sportage 2024 model.
Looking at its expected price and possible features, it might give tough competition to the Hyundai Tucson, MG HS, Proton X70, Oshan X7 and many other compact crossover SUVs in this category.
Are you excited to know details about the 5th Generation Sportage? Let’s see more details about the KIA Sportage 2024 Model (5th gen).
KIA Sportage 2024 Model Exterior
Sporty, prestigious, and futuristic is what we can say about the 5th generation KIA Sportage. Looking at the front side, its long and sharp boomerang-shaped LED DRLs and elegant LED headlamps are the highlighting elements which were a bit bulkier in the 4th generation. The front black mesh grille is wider and the same is the case with the bumper lips. A new tiger nose grill with 3 layers enhances its glory.
On the side, it has a chrome stripe on the bottom and under the windows (from the front all the way to the back). The character lines also enhance the overall design.
The rear side is impressive as well. It has bold yet sharp LED rear lights. The design is optimized as you can’t see the rear wiper in normal condition as it is hidden under the spoiler.
KIA Sportage 2024 Interior
The Interior of the KIA Sportage 5th generation is as impressive as its exterior and gives a striking first impression. The black color interior with an elegant silver touch still looks quite impressive as the design has changed a lot. The colors are different in variants (globally).
Entering the driver seat, we see a large display panel containing 2 large curved display screens (instrument cluster and infotainment). The instrument cluster doesn’t get a head now which gives it a futuristic look. You will hardly notice any physical buttons on the front panel as most controls are digital and touch-operated.
Coming to the gear controls, this section has a lot of buttons covered in piano black color. The rear side also comes with separate AC vents and USB Type C ports. The front headrests have tablet holders for the rear passengers.
