2020 Sportage Delivers Affordable Style and Performance in Tampa Bay

One thing Kia does best is keep the prices of its vehicles affordable. The 2020 Kia Sportage delivers in every category, checking the boxes for spacious storage areas, powerful engine options, stylish designs, and more, all while keeping the cost low. The 2020 Sportage starts off at a base manufacturer suggested retail price of $23,990 and reaches a top starting price of $33,590 for the top-tier SX Turbo trim level. Meanwhile, the competing 2020 Mazda CX-5 has a starting manufacturer suggested retail price of $25,190 for its base Sport model and skyrockets to a starting MSRP of $37,155 for its top model.

The 2020 Kia Sportage paint palette is sure to appeal to a full range of drivers in the Tampa Bay area. Shoppers can choose from a selection of Clear White, Sparkling Silver, Steel Gray, Pacific Blue, Burnished Copper, Hyper Red, Black Cherry, and Snow White Pearl paint options that pair effortlessly with the three interior color schemes – Black, Gray, and Beige. The 2020 Mazda CX-5 on the other hand offers a limited array of seven muted exterior color options.

When shoppers choose the 2020 Sportage they are getting a fully capable SUV fit with enough storage space for every adventure. The Sportage comes fitted with a 181-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine and offers up to 60.1 cubic feet of storage space. The standard 8.0-inch touchscreen display in the Sportage is equipped with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, two features that the competing 2020 CX-5 lacks in its base model. The 2020 Mazda CX-5 pumps out 10 extra horsepower over the Sportage, but this minimal difference in power isn’t enough to push the CX-5 above this Kia SUV. The CX-5 features a smaller infotainment center and doesn’t offer the latest connectivity features in every trim grade.
