2017 Kia Sportage Information Page

Conceived for urban adventure, the completely redesigned 2017 Sportage is the most extraordinary compact crossover on the road today. With an imposing appearance, a rock-solid stance, an upgraded cabin, and the torque to take you wherever the journey leads you, the new Sportage is a stylish, bolder-than-ever standout in an otherwise utilitarian category.

Exterior

Built for life's adventures.

Drive outside of the box in a modern compact crossover that defies conventions with an elegant, extroverted exterior distinguished by sweeping curves, sleek lines, and thoroughly contemporary features. Unmistakably new, the 2017 Sportage captivates the eye and inspires the sense of adventure with its dynamic design.

Unconventional by design.

The completely redesigned Sportage sets its own aesthetic standards for the compact crossover. Its striking grille, elegant side contours, prominent wheel arches, coupe-like roof, extended wheelbase, and full-chrome window surround achieve a precise balance between luxurious sophistication and dynamic sportiness.

Make an entrance.

Upgraded and unforgettable, the striking good looks of the new Sportage begin with its reimagined front exterior. Elongated headlights sweep back gracefully into the body, perched above a distinctive wide grille and available quad LED fog lights that invite adventure.

Exceptional from every angle.

The sporty, bold character of the new Sportage expresses itself to the very end, culminating in the dashing, sculpted lines of the rear exterior.

Interior

Ultimate comfort.

The new Sportage transports you in a sumptuous driving environment, while serving every functional need with inventiveness and ease. Premium craftsmanship imbues every detail, from the new soft-touch materials to the upgraded seats with scientifically calibrated touch points.

Driver-oriented design.

Designed for the utmost control and comfort on every journey, the new Sportage puts you at the center of its universe. The angled console, displays, and buttons are all ergonomically optimized.

Room to stow.

With its expanded cargo space, the Sportage has ample capacity for everything you want to take on your travels. The 60:40 flat-folding rear seats and dual-level cargo floor give you the versatility to create the space you need for every trip. Smart compartments have been added to provide even more ingenious storage solutions.

Performance

Engineered to excite.

Wherever your adventures take you, the Sportage is ready to handle the bumps along the way. Its Iso-Structure™ delivers rigidity. Along with extended body insulation and other features, this creates a smoother, quieter ride for the driver and passengers alike.

Go with confidence.

Available on all 2017 Sportage trims, the Dynamax™ all-wheel drive system senses and adjusts traction requirements for changing road and weather conditions.

Extraordinary from the start.

Nimble handling and impressive power converge with surprising fuel-efficiency in either of the two different four-cylinder engines available with the 2017 Sportage. The LX and EX models come standard with a high-output 2.4-liter engine that is among the segment leaders, while the SX Turbo model gets an even more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. Reduced friction-achieved by the upgraded 6-speed automatic transmission and key brake enhancements-combines with streamlined aerodynamics to deliver a smoother, more efficient ride.

Technology

Awe-inspiring confidence.

With state-of-the-art technology powering driver assistance, convenience, and entertainment, the everyday drive becomes a delight.

Knows your boundaries.

The new Sportage knows when you need a brake. Its available Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system monitors vehicles ahead of you to help prevent a collision or, if unavoidable, reduce the impact.

Helping hand.

Like the best driving companions, the Sportage lends a hand when you need it. Its available Smart Power Liftgate™ opens automatically by sensing your key, giving you hands-free access to the cargo area.

Convenience you can count on.

The available driver-assistance technology in the new Sportage means you'll be at your best when you're at the wheel, wherever you go. That's confidence.

Your voice is its command.

Stay in touch and in-the-know with Kia's exclusive UVO eServices system. Select either an available 7-inch color touchscreen display, or the voice-command navigation system with 8-inch color display. UVO enables hands-free calling and navigation, music-playing, and much more. Additional features include enhanced roadside assistance, parking minder, and diagnostic notifications. Available on the LX and standard on the EX, UVO is subscription-free.

Safety

Intelligent stability and control systems.

The all-new Sportage ensures a sense of security accompanies you on every journey. Its Iso-Structure™ unibody boasts chassis rigidity based on Advanced High-Strength Steel. Inside, a complete array of active and passive safety systems help assure that your protection is the priority.

Always by your side.

A cushion of protection surround you and your passengers in the Sportage. Front and side airbags are controlled by an advanced sensor system that is designed to respond with the utmost immediacy.

Ready for all roads.

Every journey brings the expected and the unexpected. The new Sportage is equipped with active and passive safety systems that support you during both. Its intelligent driver-aid technologies-including an Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Hill Start Assist Control (HAC), Downhill Brake Control (DBC) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC)-are engineered to provide a precise response in challenging driving situations.
