The 2025 Kia Sportage brings space, comfort, and plenty of tech to your daily drives. Active families can go for the X-Pro trims, which feature a tougher look and rugged upgrades for off-road performance. Find out why drivers love this new Kia Sportage.
1. Versatile Performance and Capability
All Sportage models come with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine with a decent output of 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. It’s hooked up to an eight-speed automatic, and you can get either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Made for adventure, the Sportage is equipped with hill start assist and downhill brake control to help you navigate hilly roads with confidence. The X-Pro trims step up off-road performance with all-terrain tires, multi-terrain drive modes, and a 360-degree monitor.
2. Flexible, Well-Appointed Cabin
Inside, there’s ample legroom in both rows for everyone to ride in comfort. The standard cloth seats are supportive, and manually adjustable front seats let you and your co-pilot tweak your seating for comfort. As you move up the lineup, you’ll find welcome upgrades such as SynTex-trimmed seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, a 10-way power driver’s seat, an 8-way power passenger seat, and a heated steering wheel.
With a cabin setup that flexes easily, you can make space for the crew or cargo. The trunk offers 39.6 cubic feet of cargo volume, enough to haul groceries and gear. Fold down the rear seatbacks, and you’ll have up to 74.1 cubic feet of space to work with. A smart power liftgate is available for hands-free access to the cargo area.
3. Modern Vehicle Technology
For audio and connectivity, the entry-level Sportage comes with an 8-inch center display with AM/FM, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, HD Radio, and voice recognition. Move up from the base to get a larger 12.3-inch unit with built-in navigation, making it easier to set destinations on the go.
A six-speaker stereo is standard, and a premium Harman Kardon system with eight speakers is available. You can also get the Sportage with tech upgrades such as wireless charging, rear USB ports, and a 12.3-inch instrument panel.
4. Smart Driver Assistance
A standard forward collision alert system helps protect you from accidents. If there’s a likely collision with a car, pedestrian, or cyclist in front of you, the system applies automatic brakes to prevent the crash. All models also include safety features like lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and rear parking sensors. On higher trims, you’ll find add-ons like a blind spot monitor, parking sensors, and a smart cruise control system that works well in stop-and-go traffic and around curves.
With seven trims to choose from, there’s a Sportage that suits your driving needs. Visit Kia of Marin in Novato, CA, to check out the lineup and test drive your favorite models.
