The new generation of the Kia Sportage has drawn praise for its bold, distinctive design, especially its front-end styling with unique 'boomerang' LED daytime running lights. But some argue that perhaps we have focused too much on style, in doing so we may have forgotten about practicality. Reduced visibility due to the sloping roofline, smaller rear windows and potentially an impaired cargo area has been mentioned. It makes you wonder whether Kia has got the balance between aesthetics and functionality right in the Sportage’s design.
