Today I'm going to unbox for you this 2017 Kia Sportage. This particular example is a fully-loaded SX trim with optional all-wheel drive.
Power comes courtesy from a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 237 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. A 2.4-liter inline-four with 181 hp and 175 lb-ft comes standard, as does front-wheel-drive. What's cool with this latest Sportage is that, regardless of trim level, buyers can add AWD for less than $2,000. Nice. Along with being a general overall improvement to its predecessor, this new Sportage features even more eye-catching styling, notably the front end. Step inside and you'll experience an interior that's simple and straightforward, almost Audi-like. And that brings up a very good point: is it still even worth forking over more money for something like an Audi Q5 when you can get a fully-optioned Kia Sportage with many similar features for thousands less?
That's just one thing I want everyone to think about with my latest review. Enjoy!
