Kia Sportage MY2014 Update Debuts At Geneva

With the Geneva Motor Show drawing nearer, we get all kinds of news: interesting, prolific, and downright mind blowing. This is neither of these, but we'll deliver nevertheless. It's the slightly updated Kia Sportage range for this year. Here's the deal: the MY2014 gets a new premium sound system, FlexSteer (Kia's selectable steering feedback) as standard, a heated steering wheel, and trailer stability control.

The V6 K900 base range – which will go on sale later this year - is called the Premium. It's still pretty luxurious with front and rear park-assist sensors and cameras, a leathered interior, a multimedia steering w
