The 2025 Kia Sportage brings together everything we like in a compact crossover SUV, with its efficient performance and roomy, well-equipped cabin. See what makes it a solid pick for your next ride.
1. Efficient and Versatile Performance
The Sportage comes with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine that produces 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available on all trims except the SX, giving you better handling when the road is slick. Hill start assist and downhill brake control come standard for extra confidence on steep roads.
With the standard FWD powertrain, the Sportage averages 28 mpg, with 25 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. Opting for AWD slightly lowers the mileage rating to 23 mpg around town, 27 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined. Three standard drive modes allow you to tailor the driving dynamics to your preference. The X-Pro trims add multi-terrain drive modes for better off-road performance.
2. Room for Everyone and Everything
Inside, there’s enough room for the crew and all your luggage. The Sportage offers a little over 41 inches of legroom in both rows and 39.6 cubic feet of cargo volume. When you have more cargo and fewer passengers, you can fold down the rear seats to access up to 74.1 cubic feet of storage space. The dual-level cargo floor lets you switch up the cargo space to fit all your stuff.
3. Smart Connectivity
The base LX is equipped with an 8-inch infotainment unit, while all the other trims upgrade to a larger 12.3-inch display. With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can connect your phone and use your favorite apps. An AM/FM audio system with six speakers comes standard, while a premium eight-speaker Harman Kardon surround sound system is available. You’ll also find multiple USB ports, a 12.2-inch instrument display, and an available wireless charging pad.
4. Everyday Comfort and Convenience
With cushy cloth seats, air conditioning, and manually adjustable front seats, the Sportage keeps everyone comfortable. Stepping up to higher trims brings extra comfort with niceties such as dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support. Ventilated front seats and an 8-way power passenger seat are also available on the SX Prestige and X-Pro Prestige trims.
5. Peace of Mind on Every Journey
All Sportage models come with a smart braking system to reduce the risk of accidents. You’ll also get driver-assist features like lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, and lane following assist. A blind spot monitor is available, along with adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, and a 360-degree monitor.
