CONNECTION

Kia Sportage

Even if it’s just a 20-minute ride to the office, the Kia Sportage helps you reconnect with your partner, playlist, or thoughts. Designed to feel like your personal zone of calm, it is refined, intuitive, and stylish enough to feel like you.

Reclaim the Commute

The designers at Kia spared no expense when crafting the Kia Sportage cabin. Purposefully designed to act as a retreat from the day's hustle, it offers premium appointments and wellness-boosting amenities galore.

You can choose from three upholstery types in four different color options and enjoy available heated and ventilated capabilities to maximize your comfort behind the wheel. Additional features that turn every commute into "you time" include:

  • Dual panoramic displays: Keep you connected and informed from Point A to Point B.
  • Wireless smartphone integration: Removes unnecessary cords from the cabin while integrating your favorite smartphone features into your ride.
  • Harman Kardon® Premium Surround Sound: Makes your favorite playlists bolder with the strategic placement of eight cabin speakers.

The Kia Sportage invites you to sit back, relax, and enjoy every second of your commute.

Room for Real Talk

Your SUV is much more than a means of transportation. It’s a living room on wheels, a space where you and your family can reconnect at the end of the day. Standard Sound-Absorbing Windshield Glass helps block unwanted travel sounds, so you and your spouse can talk at a comfortable volume even when traveling at high speeds.

The Kia Sportage features class-leading second-row legroom (41.3 inches), providing ample room for full-sized passengers.* While the Kia Sportage may be perfect for families, this extra space makes this SUV perfect for weekends out with friends or morning work carpools.

Integrating available Remote Start & Climate Control helps every commute start on the right foot. Precondition the cabin so you and your family step into the perfect temperature from the start. No more sweating through school drop-offs or shivering during early-morning errands.

FLEXIBILITY

Kia Sportage

Unexpected weather changes and last-minute scenic detours are no challenge for the Kia Sportage. This SUV was engineered to adapt on-the-fly to your changing schedule. It doesn't matter if you're running late or running late-night errands; the Sportage helps you feel confident, secure, and in control of every second behind the wheel.

Built for the Real World

Life doesn’t always go according to plan. Inclement weather or unexpected detours can occur at any time. When you drive the Kia Sportage, unexpected plans are no sweat, thanks to the all-wheel drive (AWD) system. When optionally equipped, this system optimizes stability and traction on low-friction surfaces.

Have a camping trip on your calendar? The Kia Sportage has the off-roading features needed to traverse dirt and gravel campground paths with ease:

  • Multi-Terrain Mode Selector: Offers three available off-road modes, each optimized for a specific terrain type.
  • Up to 8.3 inches of ground clearance: Allows your Kia Sportage to climb over obstacles, like fallen tree branches.

When it's time to return to work, features like Safe Exit Warning and Rear Occupant Alert enhance everyone's awareness during everyday rides. The result is that the Kia Sportage feels ready for anything.

Parenting With the Kia Sportage

If you're always looking for parenting tips, consider the Kia Sportage your new favorite hack. This spacious SUV was designed for on-the-go families and includes all the features you’d need to feel confident and ready for the ups and downs of parenting.

The optional Smart Power Liftgate makes it easy to unload a stroller while juggling full hands. With your keys in your pocket, stand behind your Kia Sportage and watch as the liftgate opens automatically. As a bonus, this feature might become your kids’ favorite magic trick.

There’s no shortage of driver-assist features with the Kia Sportage that increase your awareness of your surroundings. The optional Blind-Spot Collision Warning Detection provides an audible and visual warning when a vehicle is detected in a blind spot. Similarly, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist helps prevent collisions by alerting you to pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles you may have missed.

Features like these help boost confidence behind the wheel. The Kia Sportage is an SUV that understands parenting doesn't pause because you're behind the wheel.

CHARACTER

Kia Sportage

If you're tired of SUVs looking like the car of a parent, you'll love the Kia Sportage. This bold SUV crosses over into the compact crossover segment, ready to reshape how you get from Point A to Point B unapologetically.

Statement-Making Design

Gone are the days of losing your SUV in a sea of carbon copies at the park. With its sharp, modern elements, the Kia Sportage reinvents what a family SUV can look like.

The distinctive grille design at the front gives the Kia Sportage a crisp, modern edge. The zipper-like pattern adds the right amount of attitude, pairing perfectly with the checkmark-style amber daytime running lights and optional cube projector lights.

Vibrant hues like Nebular Blue or Runway Red make your SUV easily distinguishable in the parking lot, while an optional 2-toned roof adds a contemporary flair typically not found with its competitors.

Subtle Youthful Style

Who says practicality can't come with personality? The Kia Sportage brings innovative family features wrapped in a design you'll look forward to driving. Sharp contours and a sloping roofline that tapers to a subtle point give the Kia Sportage the illusion of motion, even when stationary, teasing at its 187 horsepower performance capabilities.

Other standard and available modern touches you’ll love include:

  • Voice Assistant: Pairs with Amazon Alexa to connect you to smart home devices so you can make grocery lists or drop in from your car.
  • Parking Distance Warning: Simplifies parking with audible cues at the front and back of your SUV.
  • Highway Driving Assist: Assists with steering, accelerating, and braking to reduce driving fatigue on long commutes.
