Sportage

The 2023 Kia Sportage stands out among compact crossovers with its bold and distinctive styling. Featuring an unconventional front end, the Kia boasts futuristic headlights and a unique grille design. Its larger bodywork provides increased dimensions, translating to more cargo space and a roomier interior. Inside, the new Sportage is visually appealing and loaded with technology, including a sizable dash-mounted screen. Powering the vehicle is a 187-horsepower four-cylinder engine, with hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants also available (reviewed separately). Despite fierce competition from segment leaders like the Mazda CX-5 and Honda CR-V, the 2023 Sportage proves it offers more than just eye-catching looks, delivering a compelling overall package for drivers.
