Kia Sportage Tempts Through Teaser, Shows Futuristic Nuance of EV6 Design by automoto651 - automoto 651. Soon, Kia will introduce the next generation of Sportage. As reported by Kia Worldwide's Facebook page, June 8 is the date for the game. It is expected that at least it will show off about the new design. But before that, the South Korean manufacturer had already leaked three photos of the teaser.
Promising, the Sportage successor is believed to be carrying a new design direction. The style was first shown by EV6 as their first EV based on the new Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) platform. Platform matters are another matter, indeed. However, if you look at the leaks, it is predicted that there will be splashes of the futuristic feel of the EV6.
Yes, in general, you might imagine the Hyundai Tucson a little. Especially from the body profile line. Not the wrong direction either, considering that Tucson looks quite modern. Even so, it is clear that Sportage has its own identity. Sculpted strokes and sharp curves all over his body. The same goes for the fender muscles. Making it different, the Sportage seems to adopt the form of a full window extending to the D pillar.
There are a few stylistic details that seem to carry the EV6's aura. Interestingly enough, it is located in the front facade design with a new light game. From a separate teaser video, he appears to be wearing a strip of lights depicting the letter X in a silhouette. In lyrics to the buttocks area, the shape of the connected lights also looks familiar. At least these two elements are identical in their electric crossover style.
Not just the exterior design, Kia also showcased the cabin design. Herein lies the fun. It is certain that the Sportage also displays a super modern feel in the interior. Its main actor is the big screen in the main spotlight. It crosses like a long, uncovered tablet from the instrumentation viewer to the center. Again, this arrangement is similar to EV6's. Meanwhile, the rest may have adjustments.
Further details are still a mystery and speculation. However, it is legitimate to speculate that there will be an electrification technology game in the future due to sharing a platform with Tucson. In addition, it is believed that Sportage will be generous in terms of supplying safety devices and active driving assistants to appear competitive in the market.
The plan, he will make his global debut on June 8. At that time, we can find out more clearly about the specifications and how interesting the supply warehouse is. Based on the date of its debut, it is not impossible that Sportage will launch in 2021. The latest is the end of the year.
Kia EV6 Shows New Design Philosophy
With the presence of the EV6 on top of the latest E-GMP design, Kia clearly cannot be called behind in the matter of electric vehicles. With that model, they also display the latest design directions. Obviously, the difference is not small. Entering the modern era with electric power, Kia also prepares its newest style.
Major shifts may indeed need to be voiced out loud. It can be seen in the movement of various automotive manufacturers to the age of stun. Take, for example, the ranks of sub-brands such as BMW i, Mercedes-Benz EQ, or Hyundai Ioniq. Found a fresh design with all the radical impression of each. As if trying to create new traditional values.
This also happened to the first Kia car that was specifically designed as an EV—embedded a new design philosophy as the basis for future product design arrangements. It is 'Opposites United,' consisting of five design pillars, namely Bold for Nature, Joy for Reason, Power to Progress, Technology for Life, and Tension for Serenity. This would all confirm the manufacturer's shift to the electrification era, making its first appearance in the EV6 crossover.
With the change in design direction, a new identity has also been created in the EV6. Digital Tiger Face will be the interpretation of Tiger Nose Grille in the era of electrification. Part of the picture is represented by a sleek, modern DRL containing sequential light bulbs. The lower area is sculpted by a large apron that reinforces the high-tech image—certainly functional, flowing air from the front to the bottom in order to optimize aerodynamics.
The side is strong enough to present a crossover profile even though it looks short. The window line is firmly side by side with the stocky body with fine carvings. Most give a unique impression when glancing at the buttocks. The LED lights are made extending from the left fender to the right and attached to the curved but clean canvas—success in voicing simple yet futuristic visuals.
The cabin design is in line with the outward appearance. Give off a futuristic aura. The main highlight is the high-definition AVN (Audio Visual and Navigation) screen with a curved surface. The width stretches from behind the steering wheel to the center console as an instrument panel and a means of entertainment. Both are perched hooded above the dashboard, giving it an airy feel. For adding a modern feel, the physical buttons are minimized. An example on an air conditioner panel contains touch button controls.
