Three reasons to consider the 2022 Kia Sportage

The 2022 Kia Sportage has just arrived on the market and remains one of the most interesting compact SUVs you can buy right now. The Sportage stands out from its competitors thanks to its impressive handling and dynamic overall performance, but it also delivers tremendous value as well as plenty of interior space. Let's take a look at three reasons why you should consider the 2022 Kia Sportage.

The Performance

The Kia Sportage is powered by a 2.4 L 4-cylinder Engine with 181 horsepower and 175 lb of torque. This gives the new Sportage all of the power needed to pass or accelerate with confidence. That's better performance than just about any other powertrain you will find in the compact SUV segment while also averaging around 10 litres per 100km. That said, there is also a more powerful 2 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 237 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This engine delivers better performance than just about any other powertrain you will find in the compact SUV segment while also averaging around 10 litres per 100 km.

The 2022 Kia Sportage is fuel-efficient regardless of which version you purchase. You will enjoy an average fuel consumption rating of less than 9 litres per 100 kilometres with the base engine. The 2022 Sportage can also tow up to 2,000 pounds which is more than what is offered on the Nissan Rogue, Toyota RAV4 or just about any other compact SUV out of the gate. 

The Interior Space

There is a lot of space in the 2022 Kia Sportage. There is just over 700 litres of total cargo space out of the gate, but the Sportage also comes with a very useful dual-level cargo floor which you can use to lower the floor of the cargo area to increase cargo capacity to 868 litres. You will not find this type of floor in many competitors in the segment.

The Value

Kia has always been known for delivering value, but this is especially true in the 2022 Kia Sportage. The base model comes with a range of standard features including Apple carplay and Android auto,  heated front seats, tinted windows, and an 8-inch display. Other available features include: 

• Blind Spot Detection
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• 18-inch black wheels
• Roof-rails
• Dual-zone climate
• LED Headlights
• Power liftgate
• Harman/Kardon sound system
• UVO Intelligence
• Power passenger seat
• Air-cooled front seats
