New 2017 Kia Sportage Overview

Description : 2017 kia Sportage for redesigned, Kia looks to be going for wider appeal in the white-hot compact SUV. The five-seat Sportage has been overhauled with a sporty-looking new design, along with upgraded interior materials, and beefed-up safety systems and tech features. That''s in addition to a rigid new structure making liberal use of high-strength steel and, Kia hopes, addressing the lackluster safety rating of the SUV''s predecessor. Engine Powertrains carry over for 2017. The SX Turbo model uses the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which makes 241 horsepower and 260 pounds-feet of torque. The LX and EX trims again get a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that''s good for 181 hp and 175 pounds-feet of torque. All trims are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and are available with front- or all-wheel drive. Exterior But the new Sportage isn''t just sleeker; it''s also bigger. While the vehicle''s width remains the same, its wheelbase is stretched 1.2 inches to 105.1 inches, and the length has increased 1.6 inches to 176.4. Safety Available safety features include autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and bi-xenon high-intensity discharge headlights.
