If you're not content with the pictures we showed you, then you'll be happy to know that Kia has released a whole bunch of promotional and B-roll videos of the new 2011 Sportage compact SUV that had its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show last week.
Featuring one of the nicest exterior designs to come out of the Kia / Hyundai group, the new Sportage shares its platform and mechanical underpinnings with its Hyundai brethren, the Tucson, or as it is known in Europe, the iX35.
Engine options in Europe will include two gasoline and two turbo diesel four-cylinder units ranging in output from 115 to 163 horsepower.
When the 2011 Sportage arrives in the U.S. this fall, it will most probably be offered with the same 2.4-liter four cylinder petrol hooked up to six-speed transmission found in the latest generation Tuscon with a smaller 2.0-liter engine to be added at a later date.
It's been a while since we last heard something new from Kia in concern of its Forte Koup, which made its world debut at the New York Show this past April. But today, the Korean automaker released this racing game-like animated promo film that shows off the firm's first-ever coupe model. In the States, buyers of the Forte Koup will have a choice of two four-cylinder engines, an entry-level 2.0-liter unit with 156 horsepower and a more potent 2.4-liter unit that makes 173 ponies.

Our South Korean sources -chic- have provides us with the first videos of Kia's reborn Sorento that was unveiled at the 2009 International Seoul Motor Show that runs for the public from April 3 to 12. Unlike its more rugged predecessor that featured a body-on-frame structure, the 2010 Sorento uses a unibody architecture as Kia aims to target the more lucrative crossover segment. Depending on the market, the new Sorento will be available with 4-cylinder diesel and gasoline engines plus a 277HP 3.5-liter V6 petrol.
