For an SUV that’s been around for a couple of decades, the need to continue to match up and offer the modern equipment that’s desired is a priority. This 2018 version of the Kia Sportage does an excellent job of this with the LX model that is now equipped with blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alerts, autonomous emergency braking, and outside mirror turn signals. If you move up to the EX or SX models you’ll also have the benefit of a standard electronic parking brake with auto hold to make sure you can have the selection of driver aids you need.

Choose the Right Power for You

There are two powertrains for you to choose from when you’re ready to have the new Kia Sportage to drive on the roads in your area.
