INTERIOR

Whether you’re running errands or spending the weekend at your favorite lakeside getaway, your vehicle must offer interior comfort. After all, those miles will fly by when you’re cruising in comfort and style.

Proven to Please

There are many ways to customize the Kia Sportage’s cabin. Its seven trim levels offer many combinations of creature comforts, allowing you to satisfy your needs.

The base trim is filled with gems, including woven cloth-trimmed manually adjustable seats for you and your copilot. There are 60/40 split-folding and reclining rear seats, allowing you to create more cargo space for your most recent splurge (we won’t tell your spouse!). The trunk offers a dual level cargo floor to stow personal items away from prying eyes.

Additional amenities are available with trim level upgrades, including:

10-way power driver’s seat with 2-way power lumbar adjustment

Heated and ventilated front seats

Heated steering wheel

Panoramic sunroof

Dual-zone auto climate control

You can even update your seating with premium textiles. You’ll have three SynTex options, including Premium SynTex, which has a quilted texture, and X-Line/X-Pro SynTex, which is easy to clean after your latest adventure.

Sizing Up Your Kia

Is the Kia Sportage the right size for your active lifestyle? We took out the measuring tape to find out! Starting in the rear, the trunk measures 39.6 cubic feet, which leaves plenty of room for groceries, a stroller, or recreational equipment. Lowering the second row maxes out the cargo space to 74.1 cubic feet.

Your cargo is an easy squeeze. What about your family and friends?

Kia Sportage Interior Dimensions
Headroom (front/rear)	39.6/39.4 inches
Legroom (front/rear)	41.4/41.3 inches
Hip Room (front/rear)	54.8/53.4 inches
Shoulder Room (front/rear)	57.5/55.6 inches

The headroom and legroom dimensions nearly match in the first and second rows, proving Kia’s dedication to everyone’s comfort on board. And yes, the second row is adult-sized! Who will you carpool with first?

PERFORMANCE

Every day is an adventure waiting to happen. The Kia Sportage has the get-up-and-go mentality you need to capitalize on it. In the following section, look under its hood to see how this adventure-ready SUV can roll with the punches.

A Recipe for Adventure

The Kia Sportage offers one engine option, and it’s all you need. Under the hood, you’ll find a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that produces 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain may seem gentle; however, its other performance features help maximize its potential. For instance, the Sportage can tow up to 2,500 pounds when properly equipped!

Front-wheel drive comes standard, making this SUV a fuel-sipping companion. However, with available active all-wheel drive, you can confidently take this set of wheels off the asphalt. You’ll also gain confidence driving in inclement weather!

The Sportage transforms when you need it most. Its standard Drive Modes feature allows you to shift between Normal, Smart, Sport, and available Snow modes. Whatever lies ahead, the Sportage will tackle.

Leave the Gas Station in Your Rearview

Your Saturday itinerary is set, and the farmer’s market is your first stop. After you pick up your produce for the week, you still have several places to go. Thanks to its fuel efficiency, the Kia Sportage will help you go from Point A to Point Z and back home without refueling!

Kia Sportage FWD: EPA-estimated 25 city/32 highway MPG^*
Kia Sportage AWD: EPA-estimated 23 city/27 highway MPG^*

Enjoy those interruption-free miles!
