Newly revealed for the United States market is the 2023 Kia Sportage. Kia's production facilities in West Point, Georgia, where the Telluride, Sorento, and K5 are also built, will also construct the 2023 Sportage models coming to U.S. dealerships.

Except for Europe, where the Sportage is significantly smaller, U.S. models are largely the same as those offered elsewhere. The subcompact SUV is designed on the Opposites United design philosophy and features a huge tiger-nose front grille.
