Classic Kia, your Waukegan, IL Kia dealer wants you to get all you can out of this tailgate season. The best way to do so is with the best tools at your disposal. Here are some of the most useful features for your football tailgate. more There isn’t much of a tailgate without the actual tailgate. Relatively easy access to your backseat is a crucial component. However, you’re likely to find that a liftgate not only serves the same purpose (perhaps even better) but also provides built-in shade and precipitation protection. Since all the focus is on what’s going on in the back, it’s very helpful to have seats that can face in that direction. Rear-facing tailgate seats in Kia models keep you involved with what’s going on outside while still allowing you to technically be inside. It’s like sitting on the bumper, only more comfortable. You have a lot of time on your hands before the game starts, you’ll have to bring your own entertainment. Whether that entertainment comes in the form of a TV or a stereo, odds are you’re going to need to plug it into something. If your vehicle comes equipped with a household power outlet, your search will be a short one. Having multiple USB ports in your Kia vehicle will come in handy as well, especially if it’s going to be a long day and you and your friends will need to charge their phones. Never underestimate the uses of rear entertainment systems. If your Kia car has HDMI compatibility, you’ll be watching movies or playing video games out the back of your car in no time. If your car also has Wi-Fi you can even take advantage of streaming services or internet content! Classic Kia is the answer to Kenosha, WI drivers wondering where to find a “ Kia dealership near me.” We have an inventory full of vehicles ready to help you take your tailgate to the next level this football season.

Crossovers are a great option for families and drivers who need more space than what’s provided in a sedan or hatchback. However, just because crossovers provide a big interior, doesn’t mean they can’t be as fun to drive. Take for instance the 2016 Kia Sportage, which is now available for Gurnee-area drivers at Classic Kia. more The 2016 Kia Sportage crossovers near Gurnee at our dealership come with two different engine options. First up for the 2016 Kia Sportage LX and 2016 Kia Sportage EX trims is a 2.4L four-cylinder engine with an output of 182 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque, plenty of power for getting up to highway speeds and daily driving. This engine will be best for drivers looking to maximize fuel economy with the vehicle’s EPA-estimated 28 mpg highway rating. For drivers who truly want to access the “sport” in the 2016 Kia Sportage, move up to the 2016 Kia Sportage SX to unlock a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that has been turbocharged to release 260hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough power to take this spacious vehicle from zero to 60 mph in a fast 6.5 seconds. Edmunds.com says of the engine, “it might be hard to resist the charms of the SX, as its 260-hp turbocharged mill delivers impressively quick acceleration.” Whether you choose the normal four-cylinder or the turbocharged version, power is delivered with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission. No manual is offered, so you don’t have to worry about paying extra to avoid shifting. Front-wheel drive is also standard with all-wheel drive as an option if you want more control during winter driving.
