The Kia Sportage is a compact crossover SUV produced by one of the largest automotive manufacturers - Kia Motors. The new generation of Kia Sportage has changed the public view about the car, as lots of people even think that the production of this model has begun since 2010. In reality, the first generation of Sportage was launched in 1993, but the sales as well as profits were too low for the manufacturer company. The success of the company as well as this model has begun just in 2010, in times when the production of redesigned cars began. So logically the most of the magazines, journals and automotive TV shows were awarding Peter Schreyer (chief designer of Kia Motors) for the success of the company. New and developed marketing steps, brand-new designs, higher budget offered by Hyundai and the worldwide productions - these are the major reasons for being the Kia Motors successful in recent years.
The completely redesigned 2011 Kia Sportage was released in 2010 for European and Asian markets. Acknowledgement of the car has been raised so much that even the largest competitor companies like BMW or Volkswagen lost their market shares regarding the automotive class where Kia Sportage was developed to be sold.
