2023 Kia Sportage

With seven stunning trim levels to select from, it's easy to find a shortage you love. The LX shows up with a beautifully sculpted grille flanked by LED headlights. You'll also find LED taillights and 17-inch machine-finished alloy wheels. The EX model's wheels also have a machine finish, and they measure 18 inches. With the X-Line AWD, you can take advantage of high-utility roof rails. This trim also comes with X-Line body styling and 19-inch gloss-black wheels. The SX adds a smart power tailgate and a panoramic sunroof with a power-deployable sunshade. On the SX Prestige, you'll notice LED projector taillights, combination taillights, and fog lamps. The X-Pro and X-Pro Prestige offer BFGoodrich all-terrain tires that pair nicely with matte-black wheels. Exterior color options include Wolf Gray, Sapphire Blue, and Dawning Red.

No matter what Sportage trim you choose, you'll get the power you need for every journey. All models come with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. With that much power, you can use your Sportage to tow up to 2,500 pounds when properly equipped. The robust engine is also efficient, helping the Sportage get up to 32 mpg on the highway.

Kia equips the Sportage with incredible performance dynamics to ensure you have a superior driving experience each time you take the wheel. An eight-speed automatic transmission enhances engine output and efficiency while enabling the Sportage to accelerate smoothly and handle effortlessly. The agile front-wheel drive makes it easy to zip around busy city streets and take tight turns. Kia also offers an active all-wheel-drive system featuring multi-terrain driving modes. This innovative feature helps the Sportage adapt to changes in terrain within milliseconds, giving you maximum stability and control.

Inside the Sportage, you'll find seating for five with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the ride. When the rear seats are unoccupied, you can fold them flat for 74.1 cubic feet of cargo space. An 8-inch touch-screen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard. Upper trims let you take advantage of 12.3-inch dual panoramic displays featuring built-in navigation and Kia Connect. Other available amenities include heated and ventilated seats, a driver's seat memory system, and a heated steering wheel.

While the 2023 Kia Sportage is a fun SUV, it's also a serious vehicle when it comes to keeping you safe. A forward collision-avoidance assist system comes standard, applying the brakes when it detects a potential collision with pedestrians or vehicles. When a vehicle enters your Sportage's blind-spot zones, you'll receive an alert from the blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, which can apply corrective steering if you're making an unsafe lane change. Other features include rear cross-traffic alert and lane-keeping assistance.
