2020 Kia Sportage Trim Levels Comparison
As one of the oldest nameplates still in use on the Kia lineup, the Kia Sportage is a vehicle with plenty of stories to tell, courtesy of its robust compact crossover capability. With the 2020 Kia Sportage, drivers get the best of the model’s history as well as its cutting-edge technology and style. It’s the best of all possible worlds.
The 2020 Kia Sportage offers four compelling trim levels which all work to offer you a ride unlike anything else on the market.

The 2020 Kia Sportage Brings Luxury and Sport to a Tired and Staid Class
With the 2020 Kia Sportage you get a great SUV no matter which trim level you choose. While the base trim level is the most economical, it still treats you the way a much more expensive SUV would in the form of its premium technology and refined interior space that is comfortable for front- and rear-seat passengers.
Moving up to the sportier S trim level gets you plenty of exterior and interior upgrades which suggest the models’ athleticism above its comfortable attention to detail.
The EX is one we’ve found to be extremely popular, balancing many of the features drivers want with the more modest specs of the base powertrain. Additionally, those 18-inch wheels are really nice looking and have great appeal for drivers and viewers alike.
Finally, the SX Turbo rounds out the range with confident acceleration and high-octane thrill courtesy of its turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Additionally, the SX Turbo raises the stakes in terms of luxury – offering standard integrated navigation, standard 320-watt sound system and standard leather seating with heating.
