The Kia Sportage, a compact SUV, sees some minor updates for the 2025 model year, building on its recent redesign.

Key Features:

• Starting price: $27,190
• Powertrain: 2.5L 4-cylinder engine (187 hp)
• Drivetrain options: FWD or AWD
• Cargo Volume: 39.6 cubic feet behind rear seats

For 2025, the Sportage receives subtle styling tweaks to its X-Line and X-Pro trims, enhancing its already bold design. A new package for the EX trim bundles a panoramic sunroof with a hands-free tailgate, adding more premium features to this mid-level offering.

The Sportage continues to impress with its spacious interior, comfortable ride quality, and comprehensive list of standard and available features. While its base engine may not be the most powerful in its class, the Sportage makes up for it with its overall refinement and value.
