2017 Kia Sportage

Description

For a family heading out with backpacks, groceries, sports gear, or a couple of friends sharing the drive, this 2017 Kia Sportage LX Wagon brings a practical setup with a little extra confidence built in. Its silver finish gives it a clean, easygoing look, while the wagon body and liftgate rear cargo door make loading up straightforward. Under the hood is a 2.4L 4-cylinder gasoline direct injection engine with 181 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive for a balanced feel in changing road conditions. The DYNAMAX full-time AWD system, hill start assist, hill descent control, and stability control all work together to support everyday driving without making things complicated. Inside, the Sportage LX is arranged for real-world use.

Cloth seating, a 60-40 folding rear seatback, rear bench seat, and a multi-level cargo floor help make room for passengers and cargo alike. There are 8 beverage holders, front and rear storage spots, a covered floor console, and a cargo light for added convenience. The cabin also includes manual climate control, rear ducts, Bluetooth handsfree connectivity, Bluetooth audio streaming, a 5-inch touchscreen, USB input, auxiliary input, and a CD player with SiriusXM trial subscription. Safety and utility features are well covered too, with 6 airbags, ABS, brake assist, a rearview camera, tire pressure warning, and a compact spare tire stored under the cargo floor. Add in 17-inch alloy wheels, projector beam headlights, LED daytime running lights, and power mirrors, and this Sportage LX delivers a sensible mix of function, comfort, and everyday flexibility.
