Vehicle Summary

Kia stopped marketing its compact Sportage sport utility vehicle after the 2002 model year, but the name has been revived for 2005 on a new, larger model that's related to the Hyundai Tucson. The new Sportage went on sale in early 2005, and it comes with a four-cylinder or V-6 engine and six airbags.   Read more
