True to its Name, the 2015 Kia Sportage is a Fun Drive

When it first debuted in the United States two decades ago, the Kia Sportage was a heavy duty, all-terrain sports utility vehicle. In more recent years, including the 2015 Kia Sportage, the vehicle has emerged as a small crossover while managing to keep its sporty character intact. If you have found other compact crossovers to be too similar or too slow, the 2015 Kia Sportage aims to solve that.

The first engine available for the 2015 Kia Sportage at our Kia dealership serving Libertyville is a 2.4L four-cylinder engine pushing out 182 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic comes standard throughout the trims, as does front-wheel drive; however, all-wheel drive is an option with either engine.

The 2015 Kia Sportage SX has a more powerful turbo 2.0L four-cylinder engine that ups power to 260 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. Crossovers with this engine can go from zero to 60 mph in only 6.5 seconds. According to Edmunds.com, “You won’t find much else out there that’s quicker.”

Besides offering more speed than other crossover, it’s just as practical. The 2015 Kia Sportage seats five while fitting 26.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. The back row can fold down to open a total 54.6 cubic feet of cargo space. What’s also really cool is an additional organizing space located below the rear cargo floor that allows you to keep small objects and tools out of sight, secure, and easily available.

You can find the 2015 Kia Sportage near Libertyville in three trim levels, two different engine options, and a variety of colors at Classic Kia. Contact a Kia dealer to learn more online or by calling us at (877) 709-6262. Feel free to visit us to in Waukegan, IL at 425 North Green Bay Road.
