A pre-owned Kia Sportage is a practical and distinctive small SUV that offers a lot of bang for your buck with its driving fun, generous equipment, and capable all-wheel drive.
A pleasure on the road
Buying a used Kia Sportage is a great way to enjoy an SUV that provides surprising driving enjoyment without spending as much as a new vehicle. This fun behind the wheel comes as much from the engine's performance as from the suspension and steering settings. In fact, most Kia Sportages on the used market are equipped with either a 181 horsepower 2.4L engine or a 2.0L turbocharged engine that produces 237 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a capable six-speed automatic transmission, both engines provide above-average performance in the class while maintaining good fuel economy.
A good value
The Kia Sportage has always been one of the best values in the compact SUV segment, and that's even more true for used models. In fact, they benefit from the same comprehensive equipment list as the newer Sportage despite their more affordable price. This equipment can include luxury features such as leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control with air purification, 8-inch touch screen, Harman Kardon audio system, lane keeping assist, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and rear cross-traffic alert, among others.
Competent all-wheel drive
The majority of used Kia Sportages are equipped with the Dynamax all-wheel drive, which enhances the vehicle's safety and capabilities when the road surface deteriorates. This technology, standard on all models except the entry-level LX, increases the vehicle's stability on slippery roads by distributing engine power to all four wheels as soon as one of the front wheels begins to slip. It also improves traction in snow, mud, or ice, especially when accelerating. This system makes all winter travel safer and easier with the Sportage.
