起亚近日发布了三张2016款狮跑趣图，该车将在下月开幕的法兰克福车展首次亮相。这些图片让我们先睹第四代狮跑的内外装风格，从图片看，新车从内到外都采用了全新设计。车头的虎鼻格栅位置更低，两侧的前大灯造型也进行了改款，内部增加了LED日间行驶灯。车辆底部增加了铝制护板，造型更圆润的尾灯组中间是红色灯条，车顶设置了扰流器，同时采用了超大尺寸合金轮圈。车厢内造型与老款车相比变化很大，很多元素取自索兰托和Optima轿车。包括包裹性更强的座椅，金属装饰件，平底方向盘，更大触控显示屏，红色车内照明，自动变速器和更大中央扶手。起亚很可能会在法兰克福车展前发布该车，随后将于年底前上市。

 

2016 Kia Sportage teased, debuts at IAA

Kia has released a trio of teaser images previewing the all-new Sportage set to premiere on September 17 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

 

These rather cartoonish official renders provide a first glimpse at Kia's overhauled fourth generation of the compact crossover which is set to adopt a fresh look both inside and out. The company's corporate "tiger nose" grille now sits lower and we also notice the shape of the headlights has been extensively modified with the ice cube LED daytime running lights incorporated within the cluster.

 

There's also some front and rear aluminum underbody protection, sleek taillights which appear to be interconnected through a red bar, along with a roof-mounted spoiler and the typical oversized alloy wheels automakers prefer to use on official teasers.

 

As far as the interior is concerned, it will be a major departure from the outgoing model and will mix up bits and pieces from the bigger Sorento but also from the new Optima mid-size sedan. The attached teaser shows some body-hugging seats, metallic accents, flat-bottomed steering wheel and a large touchscreen display along with red ambient lighting, an automatic transmission and a large central armrest.

 

Kia will likely show us the 2016 Sportage in the following weeks before bringing to IAA while sales will likely kick off before the end of the year.
