Up front, the Sportage gets a black grille, which stretches across the width of the face. A new take on the brand’s signature Tiger Nose grille, it is linked to the headlights by the boomerang-shaped LED DRLs. Image Credit: Supplied

In profile too, the new Sportage looks sportier and sleeker without resorting to an overload of character lines. The silhouette is clean and refined and is accentuated by a chrome beltline and a black roof. Image Credit: Supplied

At the rear, the Sportage gets broad shoulders and a fastback roofline that flows into the rear lamps that are connected to each other by a slim horizontal design. All this adds to the SUV’s bold stance. Image Credit: Supplied
