The new Sportage combines an updated exterior and interior design with new safety and connectivity technologies, as well as new propulsion systems that meet future emissions regulations. The update also affects the GT Line versions.
The advanced EcoDynamics + propulsion system of the Sportage, a 48V light hybrid diesel, is the first to be launched within the brand's global electrification strategy.
