The overall stance is sportier thanks to a squatter, more substantial look with the wheels pushed farther to the corners. Inside the new Sportage features more soft-touch surfaces, better trims, and a layout that’s somewhat sporty and cockpit-oriented, with the center stack canted slightly toward the driver.
When it comes to power there’s a choice of two powertrains: a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder with 181 horsepower, or, for those looking for more oomph, there's a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder with 240 horsepower. Both engines are paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission and send power to the front wheels in the standard configuration. All-wheel drive is an option on every Sportage trim level.
Kia promised better steering and a more refined ride with the latest Sportage, and for the most part, it delivers. The sporty SX Turbo model handles responsively, and with good body control. It’s 1.6 inches longer than before, with a wheelbase that’s gained 1.2 inches. That extra length translates to slightly more head room and knee room in the cabin, especially in the backseat. Cargo space is now up to 30.7 cubic feet behind the second row.
The IIHS named the Sportage a Top Safety Pick+ and gave it a superior rating for crash avoidance and mitigation. Available safety tech includes front collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, front and rear parking assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert.
