Looks like an Optima mated with a Subie Tribeca.

Ah that’s why it looked so familiar, looks so much like a Tribeca.

Its horrible. And car and driver says, i shit you not, “like pretty much every other modern Kia, the new Sportage looks fresh, handsome, and upscale.”

They couldn’t decide what fog lights to use... So they just used all of them.

Before the facelift, the new Sportage actually looked damn good, IMO.

This is definitely a step in the wrong direction. Those high, thin lights (similar ones on the Juke and the new Cherokee) are fucking hideous, and I hope its a fad that dies very soon.

The way things have been going with crossovers, that could make it sell even better.

This shit’s selling like hot cakes and it’s an overpriced Spark that still has drum brakes .

I love that adorable little “skid plate”. That thing will not go anywhere near off road. Probably would even get stuck on a hard packed beach too.

But Toyota’s new pickup has rear drum brakes, you know for off road performance! Buick just built a really capable edition of the Spark! I mean, it’s lifted and has drum brakes, all set!

http://truckyeah.jalopnik.com/watch-the-2016…

As for the archaic drum brakes, in the above video Toyota says they’ve been retained for durability.

“The main reason you’d want discs is for heat dissipation in towing. Tacomas don’t do much towing, but they do sand and off-road driving. Having drums prevents your rear brakes from getting screwed up by sand and rocks,” is a paraphrased version of what their spokesman said.

Looks as if it got its nose smashed in.

To be honest, I quite like it. It looks better and curvier than the out going model.

I hate the fucking grill though. I hate that grill on all Kias...

FWD is better off road because the engine’s over the drive wheels. More traction.

So... It’s hideous when the Koreans do it, but it’s cool when the Italians do it ?

interesting....

I feel Kia is really trying to emulate a Porsche look with the 4 LED headlights:

This would have been cool, if they removed the upper lights and moved this area up a bit to look like the Kia GT concept.
