2017 Kia Sportage Redefines the CUV

Jan 10, 2016

Happy 2016! We hope our readers have spent an excellent holiday season and a safe, enjoyable New Year’s Eve. We here at Classic Kia, Waukegan, IL, are looking forward to sharing more new Kia car news with you over this year. We’ve left off 2015 with a closer look at the 2016 Kia Soul, a spacious, stylish Kia selection. This time, we’re looking onward to a promising new model: the 2017 Kia Sportage.

Debuting at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the new 2017 Kia Sportage offers a new look at the traditional CUV. A fourth generation CUV, it switches up the design to take the car to the next level. Sporting a more sturdy structure, Kia Sportage has a new suspension and advanced driver assistance systems. It’s also the first Kia car to offer several multimedia features free of charge. Premium materials and Kia’s highest craftsmanship reflect in a higher stature of the vehicle. This is very visible on the car’s exterior, which received fairly significant refinements over its predecessor.

On the inside, Kia Sportage’s new interior drives a fashionable impression with clear lines and modern design. It strikes a balance between its higher and lower parts. The top is about informing the driver via an instrument panel and a new touchscreen which is slightly angled to the driver. The lower part operates the dual-zone climate system and audio controls, among others. By increasing exterior dimensions, the 2017 Kia Sportage offers increased passenger and cargo spaces in comparison to the 2016 model.

The 2017 Kia Sportage will be available at the same trim levels as its predecessor: LX, EX, and SX Turbo.

We hope you’re as excited about the new 2017 Kia Sportage as we are! For some other models from our Kia dealership serving near Gurnee, check out the 2016 Kia Sorento or the 2016 Kia Optima.
