Top 5 Reasons To Consider the 2025 Kia Sportage

If you're looking for an efficient and family-friendly compact SUV, put the 2025 Kia Sportage at the top of your list. Why? It comes with many standard features, several engine choices, and a fantastic warranty. This article covers the five key benefits that make this SUV so special.

Exceptional Value and Competitive Value

The 2025 Kia Sportage is perhaps one of the most affordable smaller SUVs, offering better value than the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V competitors. Even the well-equipped EX trim provides excellent value compared to many competitors' base models.

• Highly competitive value proposition in the compact SUV segment
• Better value than Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V with more standard features
• Well-equipped EX trim offers premium features at an accessible price point

Yet, despite its affordable nature, the Sportage comes packed with plenty of premium features as standard, including remote keyless entry, a 12.2-inch digital gauge display, and smartphone connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Each model has an 8.0-inch infotainment display (a more advanced 12.3-inch infotainment display is optional), LED headlights, and a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies.

Spacious Interior and Superior Cargo Capacity

The Sportage boasts a spacious cabin with class-leading rear-seat legroom of 41.3 inches. Its cargo capacity is equally impressive, offering up to 74.1 cubic feet with the back seats folded, compared to the Toyota RAV4's 69.8 cubic feet and nearly matching the Honda CR-V's 75.8 cubic feet. Practical touches like a dual-level cargo floor, 60/40 split-folding rear seats, and plenty of generous storage compartments make the Sportage's interior exceptionally functional.

• Class-leading 41.3 inches of rear-seat legroom for exceptional passenger comfort
• Impressive 74.1 cubic feet maximum cargo capacity rivaling larger SUVs
• Practical dual-level cargo floor and 60/40 split-folding rear seats for versatility

Advanced Technology and Comprehensive Safety Features

The 2025 Sportage's plethora of advanced technology includes wireless charging, remote start, climate control, and a smart power liftgate. Safety is a top priority, with the Kia Drive Wise suite featuring standard forward collision-avoidance, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping assistance. A blind spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert system are available. The Sportage has earned top safety marks, including a five-star overall safety rating from NHTSA and an IIHS Top Safety Pick award.

Industry-Leading Warranty Coverage

Kia's warranty coverage is among the best in the industry. The Sportage comes with a five-year/60,000-mile limited warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, which is longer than the standard three-year/36,000-mile coverage offered by most competitors.

• Outstanding 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty for long-term peace of mind
• Industry-leading warranty protection significantly longer than standard three-year coverage

Multiple Powertrain Options Including Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid

The 2025 Sportage has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is optional. Equipped with this engine, the Sportage achieves 0-60 mph in 9.1 seconds and up to 28 mpg combined with four-wheel drive.

• Standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft torque
• Hybrid variant with 1.6-liter turbo and electric motors producing 227 total horsepower
• Plug-in hybrid option generating 261 combined horsepower for maximum efficiency

There's also a faster hybrid variant with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder paired with two electric motors that produce a total of 227 horsepower. Additionally, a plug-in hybrid is available with the same gasoline engine as the regular hybrid and a single electric motor and a bigger battery pack that generates 261 horsepower combined.
