<br /> The European Registry must be a bigger thorn in the side of automakers than the likes of Brenda Priddy and her minions. After all, the new-vehicle images the Registry keeps in its database are devoid of camouflage, and the latest to show its face (and rear, and roof, and flanks) appears to be the 2011 Kia Sportage. <br /> <br /> Based on these images, the new Sportage looks to be a big step up from the friendly but aged current model. Underneath slick new sheetmetal that's in keeping with Kia's current family design themes, the Sportage will likely share much with the just-unveiled <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/HyundaiTucson/">Hyundai Tucson</a>. No word yet on when we'll see the trucklet's official unveiling, but given that Kia's usually good for a significant reveal at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/NewYorkAutoShow/">New York Auto Show</a>, we'll wager that at the very least, we'll see the Sportage's North American debut in the Javits Center in late March/early April. Stay tuned. <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-kia-sportage-european-registry-renderings/low/">2011 Kia Sportage - European Registry Images</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-kia-sportage-european-registry-renderings/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/sportagekiafilt00_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-kia-sportage-european-registry-renderings/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/sportagekiafilt01_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-kia-sportage-european-registry-renderings/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/sportagekiafilt02_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-kia-sportage-european-registry-renderings/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/sportagekiafilt04_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-kia-sportage-european-registry-renderings/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/sportagekiafilt03_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> [Source: European Registry via <a href="http://es.autoblog.com/2010/01/16/el-registro-europeo-filtra-el-nuevo-kia-sportage/">Autoblog Spanish</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/16/european-registry-pulls-wraps-off-2011-kia-sportage/">European Registry pulls wraps off 2011 Kia Sportage?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Sat, 16 Jan 2010 19:55:00 EST.
