2017 model spied in Korea!

A 2017 model of Kia Sportage, which is expected to reach showrooms next year, has already been spotted in Korea.

This was discovered based on images of the car taken in car found on a Bobaedream Facebook page.

This model sports a rather different look from its more conservatively-styled corporate cousin, the Hyundai Tucson, while the interior design is very impressive with its soft-touch materials and metal accents.

According to motorauthority, it is quite likely "the new Sportage will pack a downsized turbocharged engine—probably the Tucson's 1.6-liter four-cylinder—as well as a dual-clutch transmission and such active safety technologies as blind-spot detection and lane-change assist."

The 2017 model of Kia Sportage will be revealed next month in Frankfurt Auto Show in Germany.
