2022 Kia Sportage in Wesley Chapel, FL

Need to get somewhere? Got a family to bring along? Look no further than the 2022 Kia Sportage. With loads of standard features, an industry-leading warranty, and a versatile interior, the Kia Sportage is a compelling choice for any family on the market for a compact crossover.

Compact yet spacious

The Kia Sportage’s exterior dimensions make it ideal for maneuvering around city streets and congested parking lots. Yet its generous interior space seems almost at odds with its small overall size. It has plenty of room for five passengers and their cargo, and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat that makes it easy to fit larger items when fewer passengers are aboard. It also features a dual-level cargo floor as well as an additional, removable tray beneath the cargo area. The latter can be used as concealed storage or to recover loose items.

Given all of the things you can fit inside the Sportage, it only makes sense that the SUV is offered with a Smart Power Liftgate™ that can open automatically when it detects that your key fob is nearby. When your hands are full, it’s the kind of feature that feels like a luxury.

Smart safety features

The 2022 Sportage is equipped with dozens of safety features designed to help protect you and your passengers. Thanks to its crashworthiness and front crash prevention systems, it has earned the Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. All models come with standard Kia DRIVE WiSE, a suite of advanced driver assistance systems that essentially acts as another set of eyes on the road. It includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assistance. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is offered as an option.

High-tech infotainment

You don’t have to pay extra to access almost all of the Sportage’s best infotainment features. Every model is fitted with a high-resolution, 8-inch touch-screen display that comes with standard Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto™ connectivity for smart devices. A combination of intuitive touch-screen menus and physical buttons makes the system very easy to use.

For extra convenience, the 2022 Sportage is available with an optional wireless charging tray and built-in navigation, and for extra entertainment, there’s also an optional 320-watt Harman Kardon^® premium sound system. It uses Clari-Fi™ technology to ensure you get the listening experience that the artist intended at the studio.

Efficient performance

Under the hood, most 2022 Kia Sportage models are powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 181 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. It gets 23 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway, and 26 mpg combined with front-wheel drive. Upgrading to all-wheel drive reduces fuel economy to 22/26/23 mpg city/highway/combined.[1]

The top-of-the-line Sportage SX Turbo is easily the Sportage to have if you put engaging driving dynamics near the top of your list of priorities. It has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that cranks out 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, a substantial increase over the base engine that you can really feel while behind the wheel. All models use a snappy six-speed automatic transmission.

If you’re interested in the 2022 Kia Sportage, you’re not alone! This excellent crossover is ideal for families seeking a safe ride that comes with loads of features even at the base trim level. Alternatively, its flexible interior space, comfort-enhancing amenities, and connected technologies are a boon to solo drivers or couples seeking something bigger than a sedan for weekend adventures or lengthy road trips. After all, you don’t have to be a family to enjoy quality. Visit Kia of Wesley Chapel for a closer look at the Kia Sportage!
