2017 Kia Sportage consumer reviews

This car meets all my needs. I was looking to upgrade to a larger vehicle without spending an insane amount of money. The Kia Sportage is a great mid-size SUV for the money.

We love Kia, I owned a Kia Sorento the past 4 years. It was great and tho it may not make sense to some but the reason I had to replace it I needed an easier vehicle to get into. I am 62 years old and as we age especially women, we seem to lose height. Well that is happening right to me. The past couple of years I noticed I was needing to use the steering wheel to help me get into my car. I had to buy a car that was easier to get into but still gave me that sense of not sitting to close to the road. I bought my Kia Sportage due to accessibility, comfort, economical and I still feel I'm on top of the road. I'm very happy with my new car.

I am surprised at how solidly it hugs and holds these country roads, that twist & turn. Good on gas ,as well. My friends were comfortable in the big seat; and they were both adults and tall, muscular teens.

I'm so impressed with this car. It is quiet, comfortable and handles great. It is loaded with technology and still very user friendly.

This car rides smooth and comfortable, I love everything about it!! I found it very easy to operate!!

I absolutely love this car for many reasons. The exterior and interior styling is gorgeous. The 2.4L 4 cylinder on the EX AWD has more than enough power and pep. I wish KIA had better configured their optional packages. I opted for the EX AWD Sportage with the Premium Package. The Premium Package offers a Panoramic Sunroof, Heated Steering Wheel, LED Interior Lighting and Garage Door Programming. I didn't opt for the $2,900 Technology Package, simply because I didn't need some of the features such as the Navigation System, and Premium Sound. I wish KIA had thrown in the Smart Power Tailgate as part as the Premium Package, as this is the only feature I wish I had. For $30,000 and features such as a Heated Steering Wheel, Panoramic Sunroof and Leather seating surfaces, the car should come equipped with a Power Tailgate. Also, none of the Sportages can be configured with Memory Seats, which is a huge disappointment. I feel as though KIA forgot to offer the memory seats with even the top-of-the-line SX trim! I wish the EX Premium came equipped with a Power Tailgate and Memory Seating. For over $35,000, buyers should get memory seating. Overall, I love the Sportage. I looked ahead and these changes I have suggested haven't been put into effect for the 2018 model year. I just wish for the 2019 year that KIA made these minor modifications. Great car nonetheless.

I test drove the crossovers from all mfgs., found the Sportage and the Subaru Crosstrek to be superior to the others.

It's the best car I've owned. It's very reliable and gets great gas mileage. It drives smooth and easy to drive.

Finally back in an all wheel drive car - can't wait for winter. I searched and test drove everything in the small SUV from everyone. - Kia had it all without having to get the top of the line.

I previously owned an Optima which I loved but was ready to get back into an SUV. The Sportage is fantastic and not too large. Lovely body style and very comfortable. A real pleasure to drive....
