From Your Kia Dealer: A First Look at the 2024 Kia Sportage
Power and Performance
The Sportage’s standard engine is a 2.5L inline-4 putting out 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. With the help of an 8-speed automatic transmission, the vehicle delivers prompt acceleration and an EPA-rated fuel economy of up to 32 highway MPG. Every trim is available with a capable all-wheel drive system, but an optional center locking differential further enhances traction by splitting power evenly between the front and rear axles.
Fully independent MacPherson strut front suspension, multi-link rear suspension, and stabilizer bars are tuned to provide an excellent balance between responsive handling and a smooth ride. Exclusive to the X-Pro and X-Pro Prestige are BF Goodrich all-terrain tires, which take advantage of the special tuning to these models’ multi-terrain drive modes.
Interior
Step inside the Sportage, and it’s evident that Kia put a lot of effort into making the SUV’s passenger cabin a truly premium space. From the dashboard to the door panels, there are attractive details like metallic trim and glossy, piano-black surfaces. For a unique duo-tone look, you can choose from color options like Carmine Red, Misty Gray, or Sage Green. Passenger space is generous, with more than 41 inches of front and rear legroom.
In addition to its sound-absorbing and heat-reducing windshield, the Sportage has privacy glass for the rear half of the vehicle. Most trims will have a 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel as standard features. The seats in X-Pro and X-Pro Prestige models are wrapped in plush, yet extra-durable X-Line SynTex upholstery that’s easy to wash and clean.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Convenient apps like Bluetooth wireless technology with multi-device connectivity and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration can be accessed through the Sportage’s 8- or 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. The 12.3-inch version also offers navigation with high-resolution maps and a blue light filter meant to alleviate eye strain. An available mobile Wi-Fi subscription allows passengers to stay connected to the internet.
For wired connections, the front row features one USB media port and one USB-C charging port, plus two USB-C charging ports in the back row. The available 400-watt, 8-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system promises a true surround sound experience and effective noise cancellation with its HALOSonic technology.
