From Your Kia Dealership: Introducing the 2024 Kia Sportage

Powertrain

Pop open the Sportage’s hood, and you’ll find a naturally aspirated 2.5L inline-4 making 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, enabling a towing capacity of up to 2,500 pounds. Power gets sent to the drive wheels through a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to the engine’s dual continuously variable valve timing system and multi-port injection, the vehicle achieves an EPA-rated fuel economy of up to 32 MPG highway.

Off-Road Capability

With its independent MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, the Sportage is ready to tackle rugged terrain when equipped with available Active All-Wheel Drive. In addition to its ability to maximize grip through constant adjustments to torque delivery, this system is complemented by a center locking differential, which further enhances control in harsh conditions. AWD models also have an impressive ground clearance of 8.3 inches.

Avid off-roaders will want to opt for the extra-rugged X-Pro and X-Pro Prestige trims, coming standard with BF Goodrich all-terrain tires and multi-terrain drive modes.

Passenger Cabin

The Sportage may have small exterior dimensions, but its ultra-modern cabin comfortably seats five adults and can hold plenty of your gear. In fact, it boasts close to 40 inches of headroom and over 41 inches of legroom, whether you’re seated in the front or rear. Cargo space is similarly generous at 39.6 cubic feet behind the 60/40 split-folding rear seats and 74.1 cubic feet when they’re folded down.

A panoramic display housing 12.3-inch screens for the instrument panel and infotainment system is offered, as well, making it easy for the driver to view a wealth of information. Most trims come standard with a 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support, heated seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Premium options include quilted SynTex upholstery and a panoramic sunroof with a power sunshade.

Infotainment and Connectivity

If kept in its base form, the Sportage is equipped with a responsive 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, though every trim features Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth technology, and at least two USB ports. When the 12.3-inch display is selected, it comes with a blue light filter that reduces eye strain and offers a connected navigation system.

Support for mobile Wi-Fi and SiriusXM satellite radio, plus an available 8-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system can be added to keep passengers entertained during long trips.

It’s easy to see why the Sportage continues to be one of the country’s best-selling compact SUVs when you consider all these great features. Visit Kelly Grimsley Kia in Odessa, TX today and explore it for yourself!
