Kia Sportage 2018 front

The Sportage is one of the more popular cars in the Kia product line-up. Given its popularity within the brand and its strategic place in the compact crossover market, Kia knows they must get this car’s redesign right. The 2018 Kia Sportage is a car that carries over the great traits of past Sportage models while addressing some of its previous issues.

Exterior

From the outside, the Sportage indeed lives up to its name. The overall profile of this car is sporty, with an aerodynamic styling complete with sharp edges and racy details. It carries larger dimensions compared to the previous model, which should translate to better cabin space. Standard exterior features include daytime running lights and 17-inch wheels.

Interior

The interior of the 2018 Kia Sportage is shaping up as one of its biggest trump cards in its class. The slight increase in size is paying dividends in the cabin, which is boasting improved room in both the front and rear seating compartments. Trunk space is also improved, which is one of the biggest weaknesses of the previous-generation Sportage. As a plus, even the standard models have some of the best selection of interior materials in its class.

 

Features

A long list of standard features makes the Sportage one of the better value-for-money picks in its class. A 5-inch touchscreen with navigation serves as the hub in the dashboard, while a 6-speaker sound system provides robust tunes while you’re on the road. A tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and 60/40 split rear seats provide added versatility in the cabin. A long list of standard features, which includes the likes of airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction/stability control, makes it one of the safest crossovers on the road today.
