Kia is planning to storm the Los Angeles Auto Show with five different debuts. The company is playing coy on specifics, but said we can expect models with internal combustion engines, hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, and electric power.
Besides giving us the broad strokes, Kia dropped a teaser image of the US-spec Sportage. While there isn’t much to see, the crossover follows in the footsteps of the international variant that was introduced earlier this month.

As a brief refresher, the facelifted Sportage has a more traditional front end and an updated backside. They’re joined by a revamped interior with a new dashboard and modern displays. Powertrains will presumably carryover, but the hybrid variant could receive a slight performance boost.
Besides the Sportage, we can expect to see the 2025 EV6. The facelifted electric vehicle was introduced in May and features revised styling as well as an updated interior. More importantly, there’s a larger 84 kWh battery pack that should increase the range to around 318 miles, judging by the numbers for the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5.
The remaining three debuts are more mysterious, but one of them could be the EV9 GT. We may also see the K4 Hatchback that was previewed at the New York Auto Show earlier this year. The company could also show a new concept or the production version of the EV4.
As we reported yesterday, the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show will be packed with debuts as Hyundai will introduce the Ioniq 9 and the Initium concept. We can also expect to see the US-spec Volkswagen Tiguan as well as new products from Fiat, Ford, and Porsche.
