In a crowded and competitive compact SUV market, it takes a lot to stand out. The 2025 Kia Sportage manages to set itself apart from the rest due to its extensive list of standard equipment that compliments that spacious cabin, stylish exterior, and affordable starting price.
The 2025 Kia Sportage Offers Style and Adaptability
Reliable Power and Traction
The Kia Sportage is powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder engine that produces 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Front-wheel drive is standard across most trims, while all-wheel drive is available on most and standard on X-Line, X-Pro, and X-Pro Prestige. AWD models include Snow Mode as part of the Drive Mode Select system, which also features Normal, Sport, and Smart modes. The Sportage also offers hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
Distinctive Styling
The Sportage has a distinctive look that sets it apart from many other compact SUVs, with a wide grille, boomerang-shaped daytime running lights, and muscular body lines. Styling details vary by trim. The X-Pro trim has a sporty appearance, with blacked-out trim and badging, and available two-tone paint with a Black Ebony roof. Wheel designs are numerous, and sizes range from 17 inches to 19 inches. All models include roof rails to support extra cargo or gear.
Spacious Interior
The Sportage has one of the most spacious cabins in the compact SUV segment, with 41 inches of front and rear legroom, and almost 40 inches of headroom. Cargo room is also class-leading, with 40 cubic feet behind the second-row seats and 74.1 cubic feet when the seats are folded. The rear seats include a fold-down center armrest with cupholders.
SynTex synthetic leather upholstery is standard from EX and up, as is a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with 2-way power lumbar support. Heated front seats are available starting at EX, with ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel included in SX Prestige and higher.
Connected Tech
The base LX model has an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with physical buttons and controls, and wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. All other trims include dual 12.3-inch displays that form a panoramic screen across the dashboard. This system features wireless smartphone connectivity, voice recognition, navigation, and over-the-air updates.
The two Prestige trims include an 8-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, while all other models have a 6-speaker stereo. USB-C charging ports are included in both front and rear rows across all trims. A wireless charging pad is available starting on EX and standard from SX upward.
