Performance Made for Adventure
Two peppy engine options power the 2022 Kia Sportage, giving you a thrill when you get behind the driver's seat.
The standard engine is a 2.4L inline 4-cylinder engine that generates 181 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. An electronically controlled 6-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic® gives you a sporty performance. With this engine, you'll get an EPA-estimated 23 city/30 highway MPG.1
The available 2.0L turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine packs an impressive 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque for a little more oomph.
Both engines come with Drive Select Mode and give you the option of standard front-wheel drive or available Dynamaxâ„¢ All-Wheel Drive.
If you're looking to tow something while you're on your next adventure, the Kia Sportage has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds when properly equipped.
Convenience Features
To make your adventures easier, the Kia Sportage has several different features that work to give you a more comfortable drive.
If you love to travel, you probably want a lot of cargo space. You can lower the rear seats in a 60/40 split-folding design to access the 60.1 cubic feet of cargo room. Loading up is easier than ever, too, with the available Smart Power Liftgateâ„¢. Available concealed storage lets you store valuables or small items.
The interior of the Kia Sportage has quite a few conveniences as well. Available wireless charging lets you ditch cords and just set your phone down to charge. The infotainment system inside the Kia Sportage enables you to use your favorite smartphone apps directly on its touchscreen while voice recognition helps you keep your hands on the wheel.
Safe and Tech-Savvy Drives
Safety is important on any adventure. Your Kia Sportage has many driver-assist and safety features to help you stay safe on the road-many of which are part of the Kia Drive Wise safety suite.
Standard Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection acts as a second set of eyes for preventing frontal collisions with other rides or people. If a potential accident is detected, the Kia Sportage will warn you and even help stop the machine if a crash is imminent.
Driver Attention Warning alerts the driver if they appear to be drifting or not paying attention.
Some other features are:
- Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Departure Warning
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning
