Fun to drive!

The Sportage is a really fun compact SUV - I love it! Handles really well and you can get much more in terms of options with this company than some of the other popular brands in this category.

Looks great feels awesome.

Small enough to fit everywhere and spacious inside to accommodate. Comfortable with head room, leg room, and lean back backseats. Awesome interior, drives smooth.

love it

I am really impressed with this car after owning it for a week. It looks beautiful inside and out, and has every tech gadget I could possibly want. Great price too. Kia was offering great deals this month on leases as well.

Most bells and whistles I've ever owned!

I love the exterior and interior accessories! My kids enjoy using apple play so they can listen to their kind of music. The heated seats are great too! Overall very happy with my choice in vehicle.

Great New Vehicle

Awesome so far. Great fuel economy, comfort, with just the right equipment. Very stylish. I would only add having the rear seats slide further back but the reclining feature is great.

Comfortable and user friendly

First time owning a KIA....Very comfortable and solid. The features are like a luxury vehicle. The ride is stable. Gas mileage is great. Stereo is pretty good also.

Just bought my third one!

I am a chauffeur and have driven new cadillacs, genesis, 300's, and mkx, and my 2018 sportage is right there with them as for as styling, handling , and cabin amenities. It is a lot more bang for the buck.

Love Kia

This is my third Kia. I love these cars. I just traded in my 2006 Kia Sportage with 211,000+ miles for a 2018 Kia Sportage LX and I could not be happier. Of course this car has all the new technology and wow! I am averaging about 24 miles/gallon! It is very comfortable and the heated seats are a must for cold Michigan mornings. The auto seat controls allow my husband to adjust for his comfort (if I let him drive) and because the back seats recline slightly, the kids can fall asleep in their booster seats without getting the floppy forward head they would in regular seat. I'm hoping this is my last new car I buy, but if not, the next one will be another Kia Sportage.
