2020 Kia Sportage Introducing: All-New Kia Sportage SX Experience https://goo.gl/MFyfaH

The 2020 Kia Sportage plays catch-up when it comes to active safety tech.
The 2020 Kia Sportage crossover SUV got an early start on the new year.

Updated looks, more active safety tech, and a new S trim level mark the refreshed Sportage, which arrives in dealers by the middle of 2019.

The 2020 Sportage’s new S trim level slots in the lineup atop the base Sportage LX and below the tonier Sportage EX and turbocharged Sportage SX.
LX, S, and EX Sportages make use of a 2.4-liter inline-4 rated at 188 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque, while the SX uses a 2.0-liter turbo-4 that puts out a healthier 240 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Both engines send power to the wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard across the board and all-wheel drive is optional.

No fuel-economy figures have been announced for the 2020 Sportage, but the 2019 models with the turbo engine were rated by the EPA at 21 mpg combined with all-wheel drive while the base engine rated 23 mpg combined. Those figures are on the low end for compact crossover SUVs, so we’re hoping Kia found a way to boost the Sportage’s efficiency.

The Sportage is closely related to the Hyundai Tucson, although that model lost its optional turbo-4 engine last year. Both are on the small side for compact crossover SUVs, as much as half a foot shorter than some rivals. For buyers with limited garage space, the Sportage might appeal—although its roughly 60 cubic feet of cargo space is predictably lower than most competitors.
