Regarding fuel efficiency, the Kia Sportage 2.5L engine delivers an impressive combined EPA rating of 26 mpg for front-wheel-drive (FWD) models and 25 mpg for all-wheel-drive (AWD) variants. This can be credited to the engine’s advanced features like the Direct Fuel Injection (GDI) system and the Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT), which optimize fuel delivery and combustion efficiency. The seven trim levels – LX, EX, X-Line, SX, SX Prestige, X-Pro, and X-Pro Prestige – all have the same engine. Front-wheel drive is standard on the LX, EX, SX, and SX-Prestige trims, and all-wheel drive is available. X-Line, X-Pro, and X-Pro Prestige models come exclusively with all-wheel drive.

The Sportage seats up to five in a quiet, spacious, classy cabin. The front seats give excellent support and cushioning in all the right places, and the second row is also comfortable and spacious enough to accommodate two adults. Another impressive feature of the Kia Sportage, with a 2.5L, 187 hp engine is the available storage space. There are 39.6 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row and 74.1 cubic feet with the back row folded down. The cargo hold’s wide opening makes it a cinch to load and unload bulky items, and the available hands-free power liftgate helps when your arms are loaded. The climate control system performance is strong and effective at maintaining your target cabin temperature, and the touch panel controls convert to media controls when not in use.
