Kids get restless, adults get stiff, and a flat bench seat in the second row doesn’t help either one. The 2027 Kia Carnival’s available VIP Lounge second row is built around that exact stretch of highway. What Is the VIP Lounge Second Row? On the...
The Kia Sportage has been entirely reworked for 2023 and it now benefits from more space, more power, more technology, and a more distinctive style. Here are some of its most impressive features.
The style
The 2023 Kia Sportage benefits from a completely new design language that makes it very modern and distinctive both inside and outside. The new front end integrates boomerang-shaped daytime running lights that are sure to make the Sportage stand out in traffic and a new grille that features the characteristic Kia look while being unique to this model. The new paint colours and the black sections of the bumper and the roof create another distinctive visual characteristic that makes the Sportage recognizable from all angles. Inside, the Sportage is also completely new and it displays a dashboard that is inspired by the EV6 with its two digital screens integrated into one unit.
The practicality
The 2023 Kia Sportage is larger than its predecessor in every dimension which makes it more spacious on the inside. This extra space is put to good use by making every occupant more comfortable on longer journeys and by allowing more cargo to be transported at once. Indeed, with up to 2,098 litres of space behind the front seats, the 2023 Sportage has 396 litres more cargo capacity than the previous model.
The new X-Line and X-Line Limited trim levels
The 2023 Kia Sportage welcomes two new trim levels in its lineup that make it look more rugged and suited to off-road driving than before. The X-Line and the X-Line Limited models share many distinctive styling elements that distinguish them from the other Sportage models, such as unique bumpers and wheels. The X-Line Limited is also the top-of-the-range model for the entire Sportage lineup, which means it is equipped with all of the features and technologies available on the new Sportage. Specific elements that make this particular model stand out also include the available green leather interior, the 12,3-inch digital instrument cluster and the Harman Kardon premium sound system.
