Exterior design<\/b><\/p>\n

The new Sportage has an updated front fascia, which according to some critics isn\u2019t very attractive. However, its overall design is futuristic and sporty. The front profile features a redesigned grille, upgraded LED headlamps, and new fog lamps. The 2017 Sportage is as appealing as its rivals like the Nissan Rogue and Mazda CX-5. The base model has 17-inch alloy wheels and you can also opt for 18 or 19-inch alloys.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interior design<\/b><\/p>\n

Its interior has also been refined. The cabin is crafted with high-quality materials and provides a quieter driving experience. The front dashboard is horizontally designed with buttons placed ergonomically within the driver\u2019s reach. Moreover, it is angled toward the driver for better visibility and usage. It includes a 5-inch TFT LCD display, which seems pretty basic compared to the Ford SYNC3 available in the 2017 Ford Escape. It is also fitted with an AUX port, USB slot and Bluetooth connectivity for wireless music streaming.<\/span><\/p>\n
