2025 Kia Sportage: A Closer Look at the Refreshed SUV
Compact-crossover SUVs are super popular because they blend versatility and space with a touch of style, but they're not really known for performance. That's why it makes sense that the Kia Sportage comes with a solid list of standard features and a bunch of impressive options, while still offering that versatility and space at a price that won't break the bank. Let's check out what's new for the 2025 Kia Sportage redesign.
Exterior Design Updates
The 2025 Kia Sportage has some unique updates that amp up its iconic look. The X-Line and X-Pro trims now sport darker exterior features, plus glossy black bumpers and side sills. The X-Line even gets some sharp gloss-black alloy wheels, and both of those adventure-ready models show off new black badges that highlight their tough vibe. These tweaks help keep the Sportage looking bold while adding a touch of class. Finding the vehicle day or night is also easy with its signature LED lights.
Interior Enhancements
The new Kia Sportage's interior has a sleek design featuring a large digital display and eye-catching details. You can choose a stylish two-tone interior or stick with all-black if you prefer. The center console has a modern rotary shift knob, a push-to-start button, and a variety of controls that blend nicely into the piano-black design. There's plenty of space, too, with roomy rear seats and 40 cubic feet of cargo behind the back seat, plus a dual-level cargo floor for added versatility.
Technology and Infotainment Updates
On the infotainment front, the new Sportage comes standard with desirable features like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, an 8.0-inch display, and a digital gauge display. We recommend going for the 12.3-inch upgrade for better graphics and connectivity. The vehicle also has handy touch-sensitive controls for the climate and stereo, along with an optional Harman Kardon sound system, wireless phone charger, and a subscription Wi-Fi hot spot.
Performance and Efficiency
The Sportage comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that pumps out 187 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. You can choose between front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. There's also a hybrid version available. If you're looking for a tougher look, the X-Line trim gives it an adventurous vibe, while the X-Pro trim is actually built for some serious off-roading. It rides on black 17-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, and different drive modes to help you handle rough roads.
Trim Levels
The 2025 Sportage lineup consists of seven distinct trims. Each trim offers increasingly premium features, but the lineup includes the EX, X-Line AWD, SX, SX Prestige, and X-Pro to suit varying preferences and budgets. Most trims offer all-wheel drive, so you can tackle Oregon's tricky weather and rugged terrain with confidence all year round.
