Shopping for a vehicle that can keep up on all your adventures? The 2019 Kia Sportage could be your ideal choice. Take a look at what makes this crossover SUV so appealing to weekend warriors.
Stylish Exterior 
From the outside, the 2019 Kia Sportage looks stylish, boasting an array of exterior features and a rounded design. Even the base model comes equipped with rear privacy glass, automatic headlights, and a set of 17-inch alloy wheels. As you move through the higher trims, you can get features like UV-reducing front glass, roof rails, a windshield wiper de-icer, larger wheels, fog lights, heated and power-folding side mirrors, and LED and xenon lighting. For a sporty-looking Sportage, the EX Sport Appearance package tacks on unique exterior trim and LED exterior lighting.
Performance and Power
The lower two trim levels of the Sportage come with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which rates at 175 pound-feet of torque and 181 horsepower. This unit pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission. The top SX Turbo boasts a more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that pumps out 260 pound-feet of torque and 240 horsepower. If you upgrade to all-wheel drive on that trim level, the horsepower drops slightly to 237.
This SUV handles well, offering a composed feel when you go around tight corners. If you plan to take your Sportage off-roading, be sure to upgrade to the available all-wheel-drive system that is optional on all trim levels. The system includes a 50/50 split locking center differential.
Innovative Safety
Every 2019 Kia Sportage comes equipped with a rearview camera, anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, a tire pressure monitoring system, and plenty of air bags in both rows of seating. You can further improve the safety of your Sportage by adding the EX Premium package, which comes with front and rear parking sensors, automatic high beams, forward collision warning with automatic braking, and a hands-free liftgate. The upper two trim levels also feature blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert as standard.
High-End Cabin Features
The cabin of the 2019 Sportage also boasts a number of high-end touches that make it feel more luxurious. With the base model, you’ll get cloth upholstery, a split-folding rear seat, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, and a six-speaker audio system with a 5-inch touch screen, satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, and a USB port. An optional package adds a 7-inch touch screen with Kia’s Uvo infotainment system, dual-zone climate control, smartphone integration, a power driver’s seat, and heated front seats.
The contents of that package come standard on the mid-level trim, along with a rear USB charging port, leather upholstery, and upgraded trim. With the top SX Turbo trim, features include an 8-inch touch screen, navigation, a premium sound system, and a power passenger seat.
