If you’re searching for a sleek and high-tech compact SUV that can handle rough terrain, the 2024 Kia Sportage should be a top consideration. Kia has made impressive improvements for the 2024 model year, enhancing its off-roading capabilities. Here, we delve into the Kia Sportage lineup and how it excels at venturing off the beaten path.
2024 Kia Sportage Trim Levels and Pricing
Kia makes the Sportage in seven trims, three including all-wheel drive (AWD). Here’s a look at the pricing for each.
| 2024 Kia Sportage Trim Level | MSRP |
| 2024 Kia Sportage LX | $27,090 |
| 2024 Kia Sportage EX | $29,090 |
| 2024 Kia Sportage X-Line AWD | $31,890 |
| 2024 Kia Sportage SX | $32,590 |
| 2024 Kia Sportage SX Prestige | $34,590 |
| 2024 Kia Sportage X-Pro | $36,090 |
| 2024 Kia Sportage X-Pro Prestige | $37,890 |
The base model LX has features such as automatic emergency braking, an eight-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a price that keeps you on budget. Moving up the trims, you find additional comfort and convenience items such as heated and ventilated seats, advanced driver-assist systems, and premium materials.
Drivers looking to venture off-road will enjoy the Sportage X-Line’s AWD capability. However, we recommend the Sportage X-Pro models with additional off-road equipment, such as aggressive all-terrain tires and underbody protection, that enhance AWD capability.
2024 Kia Sportage Performance
Every Kia Sportage has a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine with double overhead cams and four valves per cylinder with dual continuously variable valve timing, direct injection, and multiport injection technology. Kia pairs this engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission. As a result, this powertrain produces 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. The Kia Sportage can also tow up to 2,500 pounds, and a trailer brake system is available for enhanced control.
Kia uses a capable front-wheel-drive platform on the LX, EX, SX, and SX Prestige trims. The Sportage X-Line AWD delivers for drivers seeking added confidence on soft and slippery surfaces. And when you want to head off the road, we recommend the Sportage X-Pro and X-Pro Prestige models.
X-Pro models have Kia’s Active All-Wheel-Drive system with Multi-terrain Drive Modes for enhanced traction and control over rugged terrain. These trims also have 8.3 inches of ground clearance and trim-exclusive 17-inch matte black alloy wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires.
You also get unique front and rear fascias, high-utility roof rails, and the option for a two-tone paint scheme with an Ebony Black roof. Inside, you have Kia’s SynTex upholstery with a signature X-Pro pattern. SynTex offers the beauty of leather with unmatched durability and easy cleanup.
2024 Kia Sportage Adventure-Ready Features
The Kia Sportage boasts an impressive 39.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, making it a class leader. The hands-free power liftgate makes accessing the cargo area effortless. Additionally, the second-row seats fold remotely, providing a total cargo area of 74.1 cubic feet, making loading and unloading all your camping or beach gear easier while allowing you plenty of space.
Every Sportage model except the LX has a 12.3-inch touch screen that powers the infotainment system. In addition, this system has built-in navigation to take you wherever your adventurous life leads.
Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth technology come pre-installed, enabling hands-free calls and texts. You can use intuitive voice commands to stream your favorite music, access your phone apps, and more. Additionally, the wireless charging pad allows for simultaneous charging while connected.
Kia Sportage features more adventure-ready tech, such as the Surround View Monitor, which uses multiple cameras to render a bird’s-eye view of your vehicle on your infotainment screen. This view lets you navigate the close quarters in busy parking lots and tight turns on the trail.
2024 Kia Sportage Safety Systems
We know that not all trips involve taking your vehicle off-road. So, when navigating the roads in Rochester, you can do so confidently, thanks to Kia Drive Wise. This suite of driver-assist technology uses radar and optical sensors to scan around your Sportage for potential hazards.
The suite includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Car, Pedestrian & Cyclist Detection. This system uses radar that scans ahead of your Sportage. It detects an obstacle and alerts you with visual and audio cues. If you react slowly, the system will engage emergency brake support to help mitigate or avoid a collision.
The Lane Following Assist system uses cameras mounted high on Sportage’s windshield to track your vehicle when traveling within marked lanes. This system provides gentle steering input to keep you centered, reducing driver fatigue.
Kia’s Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist-Parallel Exit system uses sensors to monitor your blind spots, alerting you to vehicles present when making a lane-changing maneuver. This system will provide steering input to help avoid a collision in certain circumstances. In addition, this system can issue helpful alerts as you exit a parallel parking spot. A Safe Exit Warning system alerts you as cars approach from behind, allowing passengers to exit street-side safely.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist uses similar technology to scan behind your Sportage for vehicles and pedestrians crossing behind as you travel in reverse. This system also engages emergency brake support if you fail to react to alerts.
The Rear-View Monitor with Dynamic Parking Guidance feature shows a live video feed behind your Sportage on your touch screen. It includes dynamic grid lines to assist you when backing up, ensuring you avoid obstacles. Some Kia Sportage models have Remote Smart Parking Assist, enabling you to exit your vehicle and park it in a tight spot using the key fob. You can also use it to extract your Sportage from snug areas where you can’t open the door.
