The next Sportage is expected in 2022, probably as a 2023 vintage. Larger than the model it replaces, it’s intended to be Kia's counterpart to the Hyundai Tucson, which was redesigned for 2022. Kia’s SUV is getting the same 2.5L 4-cylinder engine (187 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque) found under the hood of the Hyundai.

Power is announced at 226 hp, managed by a six-speed automatic transmission.
