2019 Kia Sportage in Rochester, MN

The City-Slick 2020 Kia Sportage Also Loves the Country

A small SUV like the 2020 Kia Sportage fits easily in tight city spaces but stands out as a performance behemoth when conquering tough off-road trails. At Tom Kadlec KIA, we’re excited about this vehicle’s engine options, interior comfort, and top technology.

All powerplants rely on 16 valves, Dual Overhead Cams, Continuously Variable Valve Timing, and an electronically controlled 6-speed automatic overdrive transmission with Sportmatic.

• However, the standard 2.4-liter inline-4 generates 181 horsepower and 175 lb.-ft. of torque while getting up to an EPA-estimated 30 MPG on the highway and 23 MPG in the city with a Front-Wheel Drive.
• On the SX Turbo, the 2.0-liter Turbocharged inline-4 thrills with 240 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque with 28 highway MPG and 20 city MPG.

The available Dynamax™ All-Wheel Drive System monitors drive conditions and adapts to maximize your traction on any surface by distributing power to the appropriate wheel. You can lock the center differential for additional low-speed grip on uncertain terrain.

Interior Features

You and your passengers will be pampered by a five-seat interior that is enhanced by premium craftsmanship right down to the available leather seat upholstery. The available 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat with two-way power lumbar support molds to your comfort requirements. Your front passenger enjoys eight power adjustments.

Available built-in heating and ventilation keep you cozy through all seasons. You and your front passenger can create separate environments through the available Dual-Zone Automatic Temperature Control, which eliminates moisture from the windshield and front door glass through Auto De-fog and freshens the interior with a Cluster Ionizer.

It integrates your compatible smartphone by supporting Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™. Make the best of your music with the available Harman/kardon® Premium Surround Sound System, which comes with eight speakers and 320 watts.

Kia Drive Wise technologies protect your journeys by monitoring what’s around you, informing you of possible problems, and helping you avoid some hazards. They include the following:

• Front and Rear Park Assist System tells you how closing you’re getting to obstacles in the front and rear of your sparking space.
• Rear View Monitor shows you the view behind you when you go into reverse, giving you confidence when you back out of a parking spot.

• Blind Spot Collision Warning monitors for incursions into your blind zone when you change lanes.
• Lane Keeping Assist relies on a camera that is mounted on your windshield to ensure that you’re within the traffic lanes. If you start to drift without activating a turn signal, it can apply steering torque to put you back in line.
• High Beam Assist automatically dims your high beams when it detects the lights of oncoming cars.
