2019 Kia Sportage in Tampa Bay, Florida

The compact crossover class is perhaps the greatest testament to the perseverance of automotive manufacturers. After all, while it might have been easy for them to fall back on a cliché like “You can’t have your cake and eat it too,” they worked to create a segment of vehicles that seamlessly blends the handling and efficiency of a car with the ride height, safety and cargo carrying abilities of an SUV. It’s a marvel and no wonder that they have become one of the most popular classes in the North American automotive market. With a fun and easygoing personality, award-winning reliability ratings and Kia’s industry-leading warranty, the Kia Sportage is a hallmark compact crossover. It bucks the trend of competitors who are content to be simply pragmatic, offering drivers a playful ride with an interior that is focused on providing maximum comfort and a top experience for drivers and passengers alike. For 2019, the Sportage gets even better.

Power

“It’s not who we are, but what we do that defines us.” The 2019 Kia Sportage puts all of its weight behind what it does, and what it does is impress. Letting drivers choose between two engines, a lean and efficient 2.4L 4-cylinder and a turbocharged 2.0L variant, you can have up to 30 highway miles per gallon or up to 240 horsepower depending on your preferences.

Personality

With seven exterior color options, several appearance packages and a funky take on a joylessly-designed class, the Kia Sportage is a unique player in a crowded room. Featuring distinct edges, a wide signature grille and sweeping contours, the Sportage sits somewhere between crossover and sports car. Inside, a standard touchscreen infotainment system makes joy the interior theme.

Protection

New for 2019, the popular, mid EX 2.4L trim level sees several standard safety features. These safety features include Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Outside Mirror Turn Signal, Power Folding Outside Mirrors, Heated Outside Mirrors and more. Parking has also never been this confident with the Electronic Parking Brake and Auto Hold standard on the SX 2.0 T trim level.
