The powerful turbocharged engine option in the 2015 KIA Sportage makes it super fun to drive, though the small cargo hold and the firm ride might not seem as appealing.
Exterior:
The grille and wheel designs were new for 2014, along with new HID headlamps and LED taillamps. It continues into 2015 unchanged, which is just fine since this is one of the more interesting designs in the segment.
Interior:
The 2015 Kia Sportage has a handsome cabin and impressive build quality. The sportage got also comfy seats but thinly padded. However, its rear seats don’t have much legroom and it has poor outward visibility in most directions.
What’s New?
The 2015 Kia Sportage comes standard with satellite radio, Bluetooth and a USB port. Available features include a panoramic sunroof, a UVO eServices infotainment system, a 7-inch touch-screen navigation system, push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, an Infinity stereo system and rear parking sensors. It has an easy to reach and a straightforward dashboard controls with an intuitive navigation system, which absorbs audio and phone settings. With 54.6 cubic feet of overall cargo space, the Kia Sportage has less cargo room than that of most rivals.
The 2015 Kia Sportage’s base four-cylinder engine produces enough power to please most drivers. The 2015 Sportage gets up to 21/28 mpg city/highway, which is just below average for the class.
Test drivers praise the Kia Sportage’s agile handling, which they say is sportier than that of many competitors. Still, they agree that its sharp handling comes at the expense of the Sportage’s jarring ride quality. Either way, Sportage has responsive steering and strong brakes.
