Without question, there sure is a whole heck of a lot to love about our compact crossover, the Kia Sportage.
And lest you think that opinion is born of personal bias, we suggest you scope the clip below. Evidently, the vehicular wizards at Autotrader are rather smitten by this SUV, too:
Within the Sportage range, there are two unique engine options. The first, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, is rated at a respectable 182 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque.
The other -- available on the SX trim -- is a turbo 2.0-liter four-banger that boasts a beefy 260 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. Standard fare includes a six-speed automatic gearbox, though Kia does offer a choice between front- and all-wheel drive.
If you'd like to learn more about this fun family hauler, or wish to get behind the wheel of one, we encourage you to drop by our Shrewsbury, MA dealership. Our automotive aficionados are at the ready to answer your every question about the Sportage, or any other Kia model within the present portfolio.
