The new Kia sportage 2011 has good looks thanks to Audi designer hired to recreate a new look for the company. All new cars from kia have this look. I like to call it sleek, bold and almost intimidating for a kia model. It looks better than a BMW X3 in my humble opinion. My model has all black leather materials with 7 speakers including a subwoofer, 6 CD MP3 changer and a decent drive train that is smooth and quiet. There is a USB plug for iPhone for USB sticks which is very neat. This model also has 6 speed automatic which smoothens the ride at top speeds reducing engine noice.
