If you’re looking for a crossover SUV that ticks all the boxes, turn to the Kia Sportage. This versatile vehicle offers tons of advanced tech, a premium interior, thrilling power, and an attractive exterior.
The 2024 Kia Sportage is available at seven trim levels: LX, EX, X-Line AWD, SX, SX Prestige, Sportage X-Pro, and Sportage X-Pro Prestige.
Every gas-powered 2024 Sportage is equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. That equates to a maximum towing capacity of 2,500 pounds for all of your weekend adventures.
The Sportage’s engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission to help you get the best fuel economy possible. You’ll get top efficiency numbers on front-wheel drive Sportage models, which earn up to 25 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.1 All-wheel drive versions of the Sportage still offer up to 23 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.1
Customize your drives with the three standard drive modes on the new Kia Sportage: Normal, Smart, and Sport. When you opt for the Sportage X-Pro or the Sportage X-Pro Prestige, you’ll get an added Snow mode that is tuned specifically for their BFGoodrich® all-terrain tires.
Those two trims and the Sportage X-Line AWD are all outfitted with active all-wheel drive with a center locking differential. This provides you with even more support by distributing the power to the wheels that need it, especially when you’re in a tough spot on or off the road.
It’s easy to stay connected and entertained when you’re in the Kia Sportage. The standard 8-inch touch-screen display works seamlessly with other standard tech like Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, and Bluetooth® multi-device connectivity. When it’s time to power up devices, you can do so with the front USB-C charging port.
When you move up to the Sportage EX trim — just one above the base LX — you’ll get a lot more standard infotainment technology. For starters, you’ll get a larger 12.3-inch touch-screen display with built-in navigation. You’ll also get the convenience of remote start, a SiriusXM® satellite radio trial, a wireless phone charger, two second-row USB-C charging ports, and Kia Connect.
Kia Connect remote access lets you use your smartphone, smart speaker, or smartwatch to perform tasks in your vehicle. This could include things like locking or unlocking the doors, starting the engine, and more.
If audio is one of your top priorities in a new vehicle, go with the Sportage SX and above. These models are equipped with an eight-speaker Harman Kardon® premium surround sound system with HALOsonic® technology.
Along with advanced tech, the five-passenger Kia Sportage is also outfitted with comfortable and convenient amenities within its cabin. When you fold down the rear 60/40 split-folding and reclining rear seats, you’ll have 74.1 cubic feet of total cargo space available.
Sportage EX models and above come with a standard 10-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar adjustment to make long road trips a breeze. These trims also have standard heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel can be found on the Sportage SX Prestige model while a driver’s seat memory system is standard on the Sportage SX and higher. Additional premium elements that are available on the new Sportage include satin matte door handles, stainless steel pedals, LED interior lighting, and illuminated sun visors.
Style comes standard with the 2024 Sportage. This boldly designed SUV is available in 11 gorgeous colors, including unique options like Jungle Green and Sapphire Blue. You can also opt for a two-tone paint that gives the SUV an Ebony Black roof.
Depending on the trim you choose, you could find other style elements on the Sportage like silver or gloss black roof rails, a Smart Power Tailgate, silver or satin chrome grille accent trim, and wheels ranging in size from 17 to 19 inches.

Along with being incredibly advanced, the interior of the 2023 Sportage is also sophisticated and convenient. Depending on which model you select, you’ll be able to cover the seats in cloth, SynTex, or leather in colors like black, gray, or beige. The driver’s seat is adjustable six ways, but you can upgrade that to a power-adjustable 10-way seat with two-way power lumbar support for extra comfort. The front passenger can also enjoy power adjustability in eight ways for their seat, too. The weather can be unpredictable in Northeast Ohio, so you’ll want to splurge for the available heated front seats as well as the optional ventilated front seats for maximum relief. If you want to elevate the cabin even further, choose the available heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. Other available interior features include alloy sport pedals, metal door scuff plates, Piano Black trim, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, dual-zone automatic climate control, LED lighting, chrome door handles, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink® and a compass.
