A couple of weeks ago thanks to some leaked patent application we got to know the new face of 2011 Kia Sportage, and now thanks to these leaked official images we get to see it in its full glory! Of course there’s no details available on the car yet and we don’t even know when and where it’ll debut, but just by looking at this new style we have to say Kudos to Kia!

The current generation of Kia Sportage is, to be honest, terribly dull. Mercifully that can’t be said about the new model. It obviously inherits some of the details of its bigger brother Kia Sorento which is fine, and all in all it is a FINE design for a Kia crossover. Heck we think it’s better looking than the new Hyundai ix35!

The new Kia Sportage should also come with the same technical features of the Sorento, which means it’ll have a uni-body structure and will be available with both 2.4 and 3.5 liter engines.
