Tested: 2023 Kia Sportage leads with bold styling:
More knobs and buttons reside on the center console to manage everything from the optional heated and ventilated seats—an EX model we drove had glaringly blank buttons for the ventilated seats it wasn't equipped with—to the various drive modes and off-road settings, such as hill-descent control and the ability to lock in the all-wheel-drive system.
On pavement, the Sportage exhibits a nicely sorted ride-and-handling balance, but, unsurprisingly for an everyday SUV, isn't what we'd call engaging to drive. Much of the blame goes to steering that's bereft of feedback, a brake pedal without much initial bite, and throttle response that is somewhat sluggish.
. Even with its BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, the Sportage X-Pro still performed just fine in our track testing, recording 0.84 g around the skidpad and stopping from 70 mph in 180 feet.
