UK's best-selling car unveils bold new look with stylish ‘star-point' lights and sleek interior
KIA has unveiled a new-look model of their popular Sportage – and it's gunning to stay one of the UK's favourite SUVs. The Sportage 's facelift brings together a bolder EV-style body with "star-point" LEDs and chunkier bumpers. 3 For buyers to better understand, they should know that Kia is launching the Sportage in three clear lines. These are named Pure, GT-Line and GT-Line S. Each one comprises a range of electrified powertrains made up from petrol, hybrid and plug-in hybrids. Automatic, manual, front and all-wheel drive are all available. Inside the new cutting-edge model is a slick 12.3-inch touchscreen and a clutter-free dashboard. The GT-Line S adds a full digital cockpit and a 10-inch head-up display. All versions keep a 1.6-litre turbo engine but each have different levels of hybridisation. The first hybrid starts with 148bhp and a choice of manual or dual-clutch automatic transmission. Full hybrids have jumped 28bhp to 235bhp thanks to a beefier e-motor. Meanwhile, Kia's plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) powertrain has gotten the biggest upgrade due to a 42bhp increase in power. It can now punch out a whopping 283bhp. Kia has remained tight-lipped on the electric-only range's max distance - so shoppers can expect it to remain at roughly 40 miles. The car manufacturer is sticking to offering the Sportage in its Euro-centric short-wheelbase form. Models made in the domestic Korean, American and Australasian markets will feature a longer wheelbase The exterior also boasts new colour options - as well as a range of new 17-19-inch wheels. New swipe-down shortcuts and AI voice control make the tech accessible and top of the line. Also important to note, is the glossy scratch-prone plastics used in the surround, which have been binned for a tougher brushed metal trim. Since 2022, Brits have snapped up over 124,000 Sportages and sales have often topped monthly charts. Rivals like VW's Tiguan and Hyundai's Tucson are worthy competitors in the SUV market. But the of 2024. The old model already looks great, drives sweetly, and has the right mix of hybrid engines, useful tech and practicality. And it starts from just £29,000. The Sportage has been dubbed the "do-it-all family SUV". 3

Kia's 2026 EV9 Delivers More Miles for Less Money
Tariffs have made pricing more or less a free-for-all in the past few months, but some automakers still aren't sticking it to consumers. You get a lot for your money with the 2026 Kia EV9 three-row SUV The Kia EV9 debuted just a couple of years ago. It's a three-row, all-electric SUV in a small but blooming segment that only touts a handful of good options like the Rivian R1S, Volvo EX90, and the EV9 itself. For 2026, despite being half a market segment on its own, it doesn't get any pricier. What's more, Kia's juiced the model up a bit to make it an even more compelling value than it already was. Previous Pause Next Unmute 0:00 / 0:10 2025 Nissan Z undercuts Toyota Supra by a surprising amount Watch More 2026 Kia EV9 GT 2026 Kia EV9 GT 2026 Kia EV9 GT Kia EV9 gains range across the range The most impressive news for prospective shoppers will most likely be the range increases that many 2026 Kia EV9 trim levels see. The most substantial changes come to the GT-Line, which is, for now, the range-topping model. Kia massaged another ten miles of range from the battery, bringing the total range to 280 miles from 270 miles. The two models under the GT-Line see little bumps, too. Both the Land and Wind trim levels see three-mile gains, bringing total range up to 283 miles. The Light LR (Long Range) model sees a one-mile increase in range, bringing it up to a nice round 305 miles. In fact, the only model that didn't see any sort of changes is the standard EV9 Light SR, which presumably stays at 230 miles. The EV9 GT, a high-performance model that's confirmed to exist but lacks any real details, hasn't been assigned official range numbers or any sort of production schedule. Kia did introduce a new option package to the 2026 Kia EV9: the Nightfall Edition. Available on the Land AWD trim level only, it adds 20-inch gloss black wheels that you can't find elsewhere in the lineup. It also bundles black badging, gloss black trim, and other special interior bits. No pricing confirmed there yet, either. 2025 Kia EV9 2026 Kia EV9 GT Customers won't spend any more, as many trims see base MSRPs decrease You may think that with more usability comes a higher price tag, but you would be wrong. The 2026 Kia EV9 actually becomes, on the whole, less expensive than the 2025 model. While the base model and EV9 Wind stay the same, every other trim level gets a sweet five-figure discount. The 2026 Kia EV9 Land is $1,000 less expensive than last year's model, now starting at $70,395, including delivery fees of $1,495. The 2026 Kia EV9 Light LR and top-dog GT-Line see double the savings: that's right, $2,000 off compared to last year's models. They start at $59,395 and $73,395, respectively.

While competition exists from the likes of Volvo, Mercedes, Tesla, and Rivian, it's about $20,000 less expensive than the nearest competitor. Assuming, of course, you need usable back seats, as the Mercedes EQB/Model Y technically offers a third row, but usability is a bit suspect. Handsome styling, average range, and great interior space already separate the EV9 from the other guys, but Kia's pricing changes for the 2026 EV9 widen the gap even further.
