This is the heavily disguised 2010 Kia Sportage. The car is to get a six-speed automatic transmission to go with the 184-hp (135-kW) 2.0-litre turbo diesel R-engine. A V6-motor that runs on petrol is also being considered especially for markets that still demand increased engine capacity, like the US. In many markets it will also come with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Kia has been building the compact SUV Sportage since 1995. Over the years it has grown in size and stature. Currently the second generation of the Sportage is being sold in global markets. It has undergone a couple of facelifts since it went into production in 2005.
