I prefer it to the previous versions but my other half is correct when she comments that all these SUVs look pretty much the same. If KIA has improved the dashboard area from that in the current and previous models, I might even be interested in one but only if there is a range of front passenger seat adjustments, particularly height.The new shape Kia Sportage has been launched this morning. I'm not sure.
Interior look good apart from the size of the satnav, outside has lost its way.

No creaking from my armrest - suggest you get that seen to under warranty.I quite like it. I just hope the centre armrest doesn't creek like the current model. Really does annoy me!
are you being serious??More generally I think this looks like "just another" SUV. The Mk3 & Mk4 Sportage stood out for their design cues and not being "just another SUV".
The Mk3 could have had Audi badges on it & nobody would have batted an eyelid.
The Mk4 could have Porsche badges on it & the same would follow.
The Mk5 - stick a Toyota or Nissan badge on that nose & would you question it?
Fine but there were numerous complaints in these pages some time ago from Sportage owners about the lack of height adjustment on the front passenger seat. I have no idea which models that omission relates to.Passenger seat in my GT Line S (2017) has height adjustment.
The front of the Sorrento looks better imo.I think the interior looks superb, although I wouldn't want the light coloured leather, side on and rear are fine. It is just that front I'm not sure about.
I disagree, I have to like the look of the outside of the car as well as the insideGet a lot of people saying they do not like the look of a bike on bike forums, but that bike has great handling etc... So do you sit & look at your bike or ride it?🤦♂️ 😂
Once you are sat inside what it looks like makes no difference. main thing is what has improved over the old version
Checking the spec on the new Sportage.I have a 2016 GT-Line. Perhaps you have the updated/facelifted model and they may have sorted that issue on newer ones. It's quite common.

I bought a brown car, a 2021 Sorento PHEV 3. Looks good to me and that fact that you don't see many brown cars is a bonus for me.There's a reason no one buys brown cars.
I tried to "qualify" it with flat, as I know the Sportage and others come with a metallic brown, which wasn't quite what I was getting at. I'm thinking maybe 30+ years ago, but still a quick Google search will tell you that brown is not good for resale values.I bought a brown car, a 2021 Sorento PHEV 3.

I think the new Sportage looks good as well, so what do I know?
Modern bikes don't float my boat at all, I prefer 70's bikes (see the bikes thread on here) that look like a proper bike, even though the braking/handling etc. then wasn't as cutting edge as it is now. However they don't need spanking within an inch of their life to enjoy them either.Get a lot of people saying they do not like the look of a bike on bike forums, but that bike has great handling etc...

I like it in a futuristic way however all cars are going this way and style, tbh it saddens me because they are ugly but I have to say it’s the best looking I’ve seen so far
