You can’t mistake a boomerang
You know that situation when you shake hands with a stranger and you forget his name during the initial moment of getting to know each other? Ideally immediately the moment he utters it? Well, this is exactly what won’t happen to you with the new Kia. Just take one look at the front fascia of the brand’s latest SUV and you won’t mistake it. And not even with the sister model Hyundai Tucson. The key reason is clear at first glance, it’s not so much a dominant radiator grille, it’s mainly the daytime running lights that catch the eye. Automobile companies all over the world have invented a lot over the decades, but boomerangs like this have never been here before. The Koreans also won with a colorful interface. There are 23 variants available, 10 of which are two-tone.
The Sportage also offers a lot of new things inside compared to the previous generation or the larger Sorento model. The tested GT-Line equipment has two screens with a diagonal of 12.3 inches. One with alarms, the other as infotainment. Both are nicely built in, do not protrude into the space and do not disturb the pleasant environment inside the car.
In addition to the touch controls, we also find several buttons in the car, but the touch bar directly under the ventilation caught our attention the most. It has two functions, either you control the media with it (this is how it is set primarily), or you can switch to temperature control. I mean, temporarily. He will immediately return to the media. Nothing difficult to control, in fact it is certainly more pleasant than digging through the infotainment screen, only the whole process slightly distracts attention from driving. On the other hand, the surface is matte and does not retain fingerprints.
