2011 Kia Sportage – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nWhen Kia<\/a> introduced the original Sportage<\/a> in North America in the early 1990s, the best thing it had going for it was a low-ball price. There was nothing particularly compelling about the way it looked or drove, though it was at least passable on both counts. When the Geneva Motor Show<\/a> opens up next month, the third-generation Sportage will finally bring the compact crossover to the head of the class in appearance.<\/p>\n

Looking like a 5\/8-scale version of the recently introduced Sorento<\/a>, the new Sportage incorporates the Peter Schreyer-penned Kia design language in an an aggressive looking package that should stand out among the Escapes<\/a>, Rav4s<\/a> and CR-Vs<\/a> of the world. The new model is longer, lower and wider, but Kia hasn’t released any other details yet.<\/p>\n

We expect that the Sportage will have the same 2.4-liter inline-four found in the new Hyundai Tucson<\/a> when it arrives Stateside this fall, although other markets will get a range of gas and diesel power options from which to choose. Full press release after the jump.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
