Great little SUV.

Drives super smooth and is very quiet. Even though it?s considered a compact SUV the inside is still quite spacious and comfortable. Controls and infotainment are very easy to use. Gets so so gas mileage with eco mode on, sometimes it feels a bit underpowered, but overall yhis is a great vehicle for the price. It has one of the nicer interiors of a non-luxury SUV.

Kia puts the SPORT in Sportage

I researched and test drove many cars before deciding on the 2018 Kia Sportage. The tech and safety features are amazing, styling is sleek and driver centric, the ride is comfortable, and for someone who enjoyed manual transmission driving for 20 years the paddle shifters make the ride more fun! This little SUV's turbo engine supports some serious giddyup where others in the class fall flat. The sunroof is massive and I absolutely love the heated steering wheel. I highly recommend the KIA sportage as the quality, power, styling , and reliability are heads above the class. FIVE STARS!

Loved my lease car so much I bought a new one

This car meets all of my needs and those of my 70 pound boxer dog who goes nearly everywhere with me. The space is great. The handling on the road is wonderful and the seats are very comfortable. I've only had the new car for a couple of days but I leased the same model for nearly 3 years and the only thing I had to do was change the oil and rotate the tires. It was the reason I decided to stay with the KIA Sportage when it was time to buy.

Pleasantly Surprised

We drove SUVs for 3 days comparing everything before making a decision. We feel this is a great car, roomy, and will meet all our needs. Our Kia Dealership in Delray was awesome to work with.

Love it

Awesome looking and driving. Had a 2017 hyundia Elentra and there is no comparison. Better pick up and smoother ride. The comfort is also incredible.

Fun car to drive

The car meets my needs. Plenty of inside room, good gas mileage, nice styling. Like the apple play to hook up my I-phone. Great additional safety features.

Love the way it drives

Love it. It has the room I need for car seats. I like the all wheel drive, rides really good, in good shape for a used vehicle. I am very happy with my purchase.

Great vehicle for the price

The Kia Sportage is a great vehicle for the price and you can?t best the power train warranty as well as the bumper to bumper. We purchased a new 2018 and love the new design.
