2020 Kia Sportage Debut, Design Changes, and Release Date

2020 Kia Sportage Chicago Auto Show Debut

Perhaps to highlight the variety of the rest of their brand after so heavily promoting the Telluride recently, Kia has just debuted a refreshed version of the Kia Sportage compact SUV at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show. Changes brought to this redesign include some new technology and the new S trim slotted between the LX and EX. However, today we’ll focus on looking at the design changes of the upcoming 2020 Kia Sportage.

2020 Kia Sportage Design Changes

The 2020 Kia Sportage doesn’t feature as much of a dramatic redesign as the upcoming 2020 Kia Soul. However, the exterior and interior adjustments are notable and welcome changes to the style of the Sportage model.

Currently announced exterior changes include:

Exhaust Tip Redesign
LED Fog Lights
LED Headlights
New Headlight Design with LED Turn Signals

New Steel Grey Exterior Color Options
Redesigned Front Grille, Bumper, Air Intake, and Skid Plate
Redesigned Rear Bumper and Skid Plate
And More!

2020 Kia Sportage Release Date

The 2020 Kia Sportage has a confirmed spring 2019 release date. This likely will happen after the release of the 2020 Kia Telluride, theorized for March 2019, due to the Telluride’s level of current buzz and marketing push. However, it will come before the summer 2019 release date of the redesigned 2020 Kia Soul. Expect an April 2019 or May 2019 release date for the 2020 Kia Sportage.
