In the competitive world of car design, Kia has carved out a unique space with their bold and unconventional styles.
They’ve mastered the art of standing out without resorting to flashy gimmicks, achieving a balance between eye-catching and sophisticated design.
This fresh approach is evident across their entire lineup, from the recently launched Sorento and K5 to the electric K9 and upcoming Carnival minivan. The smaller K4 sedan and rumored EV3 crossover further expand Kia’s exciting portfolio.
The momentum is expected to continue with a redesign of the 2025 Sportage, a compact SUV that’s a key player in Kia’s success story. This follows the recent refresh of Hyundai’s Tucson and Santa Cruz, both competitors in the same segment.
While details remain under wraps, car enthusiasts haven’t missed a beat, creating digital previews like the one by the YouTube channel AutoYa Interior. Taking cues from Kia’s latest Sportage crossover and Carnival minivan, digital artists are sketching out possible looks for the upcoming compact SUV.
These visualizations showcase a bold makeover, with a central element being a much larger touchscreen within the cabin. While the existing engine choices gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid are expected to remain, there’s a whisper of hope for some upgrades.
In particular, there’s a buzz of excitement around potential refinements to the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, with enthusiasts yearning for more power and better efficiency that would allow for a greater electric driving range.
