The inside of the Sportage is so peaceful and serene that it rivals some luxury brands.
ProsConsWhat’s new? Price: The entry-level 2023 Sportage has a starting price of $25,990. The top model, the Sportage X-Pro Prestige, begins at $36,790.
As such, the new Sportage is 7.1 inches longer than the outgoing model, and it has a wheelbase that has been stretched 3.4 inches. This added size helps to differentiate the Sportage from its Seltos sibling while greatly improving interior room, especially in the back seat. Kia also says the new Sportage has a class-leading 39.6 cubic feet of cargo room in the back.
Available 2023 Kia Sportage models include the LX, EX, SX, and SX-Prestige, plus the X-Line, X-Pro, and X-Pro Prestige, three versions tuned to work better in the dirt. In addition to an extra 1.5 inches of ground clearance, they have BFGoodrich all-terrain tires and an AWD system with multiple terrain modes.
In SX trim, which comes with a power liftgate and a sunroof, the 2023 Kia Sportage begins at $31,490 or $33,290 . One of the things that stands out the most about driving the new Sportage is how quiet it is. As for the handling, there’s a little bit of body roll like you might expect, but it feels stable around corners.
It looks futuristic, and angular air vents hugging the curved display add a technical look. An asymmetrical center console puts buttons and controls within easy reach of the driver, and there’s a new touchpad that toggles between the climate control and audio systems. What’s more, the Sportage cupholders can be changed into a storage bin for, say, a tablet, if needed.
The side profile of the all-new Sportage is clean, with taut lines cutting across the refined body surfaces. And for the first time on a Sportage, a black roof will be available as an option. Kia says it will help to accentuate the sporty profile and the “architecturally dynamic” C-pillars. Also notable is the chrome beltline, which adds a hint of elegance as it kicks up onto the rear of the Sportage and into the D-pillars.
Many of the other Sportage options focus on safety. These include navigation-based smart cruise control, the handy Blind-Spot View Monitor, a 360-degree surround-view monitor, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic assist, a forward parking distance warning, and even Highway Driving Assist.
