The design of the new Sportage has a lot in common with the EV6, especially at the rear. Unlike the EV6, the Sportage keeps the company's tiger nose grille, but in a new, more radical form.

Inside there are more screens and they're bigger, with a larger display for the instruments and a large one for the infotainment system. The dashboard design also has cues from the Sorento, but less blocky and with a Mercedes-Benz look for the floating dash displays.
