Following the introduction of the upcoming Kia Telluride, the largest SUV of Kia, Sportage does not need or want the space of a larger vehicle, but Kia's superior design appeals to those who attach great importance to the AWD's ability and comfort. In the first half of 2019, the prices that will be released in the first half of the year approached the sales date of the vehicle.
Euro-focused Design
The design language around Sportage has always been clearly European and the 2020 model continues its tradition. From the first pencil stroke, it was desirable to convey a type of entity associated with sweeping, thought-provoking curves and an equally aggressive posture. Important exterior design changes for 2020 include:
New headlights with existing LED turn indicators
Redesigned projector beam fog lights
Available LED headlamps with existing LED fog lights
New front grille, bumper, air intake and skid plate

In short, Telluride offers the potential of exploration and adventure on every road.
Designed in America for America
Telluride is a product of the first Kia, specifically designed for the US, and the Kia Design Center in Irvine, CA. From the first pencil hit, it meant a kind of existence with the original legendary SUVs (big, bold and boxed) and going everywhere, everywhere, suggesting everything, their own attitudes, their big-shouldered shapes. Telluride's sophisticated exterior accents give a hint for the interior luxury. The main design tips are:
Long, wide hood and wide grill

2019 Kia Sorento exterior design
Having a nice proportion, Sorento maintains its refined and solid appearance, inspired by the prestigious Cross GT concept, which was developed in 2013 after a complete redesign for the 2016 model year. But a thin facelift gives Kia's popular passage a tighter and sharper look. The revised front end is managed by a more detailed radiator grille, which is surrounded by a new headlight configuration offering full-LED illumination at the top, such as SX (optional) and SXL. Crossover's familiar ice cube style fog lamps are redesigned with projection bulbs for EX and SX coatings, while SXL has different LEDs. Sorento's frontal fascia wears a new shaped bumper design to achieve a more aggressive overall expression.
The rear façade of the gate is reinforced with a new bumper design, more elegant tail lights (LED bulbs for EX trim and above), revised boot lid and a more sporty silencer tip. And the muscular body of Sorento gets on top of three new designed wheels, which range from 17 to 19 inches, depending on the trim level.

The spacious and sophisticated Sorento's cab offers a superior look and feel thanks to a series of upgrades and enhancements, including a new, more tactile steering wheel, new gear shift knob, and a revised dashboard with improved graphics.

Although these are minor changes, the cumulative effect is a more attractive interior for seeing, feeling, and living.
In terms of versatility, Sorento offers standard 40/20/40 folding seats in the second row and 50/50 third-row folding seats. The seating system is designed to provide optimum comfort and ideal seating positions to meet the needs of each passenger.

The new available interior / seat colors are Mahogany and Terracotta for SX and SXL coatings respectively. And updated internal accent trims are standard visual enhancements at all trim levels.
The maximum load volume that can be accessed from the new rear tailgate is volume at 73 cu.ft, providing plenty of room for basic and active lifestyle equipment without compromising the rear passenger room.

2018 Kia Stinger - interior Exterior and Drive (Great Sedan) Detailed information about interior and exterior design introductory videos and vehicle features
2018 Kia Stinger: A RWD Sports Sedan Aimed Straight for the Germans
Up to 365 horsepower, rear-wheel drive.
We can’t say that we weren’t forewarned. Kia has been dropping broad hints about its plan to produce a rear-wheel-drive sedan for years. The original GT concept was shown at the Frankfurt auto show as long ago as 2011, with the Stinger GT4 building on it at the 2014 Detroit show. Now the wait is finally over as the company has unveiled the production version of its forthcoming sports sedan, which adopts the Stinger name.
Don’t confuse it with the K900. The Stinger is a much sleeker and sportier proposition than its staid big sister, and it has a low, coupelike roofline. Power will come from two engines, with the range-topping 365-hp turbo 3.3-liter V-6 making that version the most powerful roadgoing Kia yet; a 255-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder will serve as the entry-level engine. The Stinger gets an eight-speed automatic transmission, with buyers able to choose between rear- and all-wheel drive. Kia says it is targeting a 5.1-second zero-to-62-mph time and a 167-mph top speed for the 3.3-liter. There also will be a diesel version for Europe, but there are no plans to bring it to the States.
The design certainly is aggressive; it is the work of Kia’s European design studio in Frankfurt. Up front, there’s the brand’s familiar “tiger nose” grille, but behind that, the low stance and muscular proportions effectively distinguish the Stinger from anything else the company has produced. Buyers will be able to have fun by getting their buddies to guess the brand of their new car when seen in profile. There’s something distinctly Alfa Romeo–ish about the rear end’s small, high-mounted taillights as well as the quad tailpipes on the V-6 GT model. LED lighting is standard front and rear.
Although it’s being pitched as a rival to existing compact sports sedans, the Stinger is bigger than any of the cars Kia cites as competitors. At 190.2 inches in length, it’s 4.1 inches longer than the Audi A4 and 5.7 inches longer than the Mercedes-Benz C-class, while the Stinger’s 114.4-inch wheelbase is also longer than any of its rivals. The Kia’s roofline is lower, though, and its overall height of just 55.1 inches makes it 0.2 inch shorter than a C-class coupe. Kia says that the Stinger is a coupe-sedan, which ties into design boss Peter Schreyer’s assertion that he sees the conventional two-door coupe as being of such little interest to buyers that the company probably will never build one. Inside, the conservatively styled if smart-looking cabin features an 8.0-inch central touchscreen and a TFT information screen sitting between the instruments. The company also claims class-leading rear legroom thanks to that long wheelbase. The twin-turbocharged V-6 is Hyundai’s direct-injected aluminum Lambda II unit and is basically the same engine found in the Genesis G90, generating its peak 365 ponies at 6000 rpm and accompanying that with 376 lb-ft of torque that’s available from 1300 rpm. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is effectively a longitudinal version of the unit Hyundai and Kia use in their front-wheel-drive-based vehicles, but it’s also related to the engine fitted in the first-gen Hyundai Genesis coupe. The peak of 255 horsepower arrives at 6200 rpm, with 260 lb-ft of torque spread across a plateau from 1400 to 4000 rpm. The only transmission is a development of the K900’s automatic and uses a tuned-mass damper on the flywheel to help reduce torsional vibration through the drivetrain. The optional all-wheel-drive system features torque vectoring, while the rear-drive version has a standard limited-slip differential.
The Stinger is constructed from mostly conventional materials, with Kia saying the chassis uses 55 percent high-strength steel. We haven’t been given any weight numbers yet, but we’re promised that they will be competitive. There is a strut suspension setup at the front and a multilink setup at the rear. The four-cylinder car sits on 18-inch wheels as standard; the V-6–powered GT gets 19s as well as upgraded Brembo brakes, including four-piston front calipers and vented discs all around. Adaptive dampers will be offered—a first for Kia—and they’ll be selectable alongside other driving functions through five dynamic settings: Eco, Sport, Comfort, Smart, and Personal.
Much of the chassis development was carried out in Europe, led by Hyundai-Kia’s chief handling engineer, Albert Biermann, who formerly headed BMW’s M division. We’re told that the car has been extensively tested at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Biermann previously told us that we should see it as a genuine rival to performance derivatives of the German compacts, a promise we look forward to testing as soon as possible.
