The whole lineup gets fresh alloy wheels ranging in diameter from 16 to 19 inches. The GT-line gets a more noticeable revamp with a gloss black radiator grille, silver and gloss black skid plate coupled with dark chrome inserts on side sills and rear tailgate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving to the interior, the 2019 Sportage has a new steering wheel and a revamped instrument cluster. The cabin will now have a two-tone, black and grey upholstery while the GT trim will have the options of red and black interior tones. Moreover, this latest model will be equipped with a 7-inch display screen. A choice of frameless 8-inch display will also be available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the hood, Kia has replaced its 1.7L CRDi with its new 1.6L U3 CRDi along with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all wheel drive.

This turbodiesel will feature a mild hybrid powertrain cutting emissions by almost four percent. The new Kia will be available in either 113 hp or 134 hp.
