A mid-size crossover SUV like the 2025 Kia Sportage has everything you need for your next adventure. Whether the road takes you cruising down interstate highways or traversing rocky trails, this SUV is specially designed to meet all your performance demands. Explore the key specs and features of the popular Sportage before visiting your local Kia dealer. 

Introducing the 2025 Kia Sportage: Ready for Anything

The Sportage is powered by an efficient 2.5-liter I4 motor that produces 187 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft of torque. The powertrain is matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission for effortless handling. The Sportage boasts enough power to haul 2,500 lbs. when the SUV is equipped with trailer brakes, which is perfect for towing a small boat or a medium-sized camper. 

The Sportage is equipped with LED projector headlights that illuminate more of the road with less energy and automatic headlights that flip on when the outdoor conditions are dark. On models like the X-Line AWD, high-utility roof rails are standard so you can carry extra cargo on the roof. 

Efficiency and Drive Modes

Sportage models equipped with a front-wheel drivetrain have urban-friendly gas mileage estimates like 25 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the freeway. The sportier and more powerful AWD models get 23 MPG in urban areas, 27 MPG on the highway, and 25 MPG combined. Models with an all-wheel drivetrain are the LX, EX, and SX Prestige, while models like the X-Line AWD have a standard AWD drive type. 

Drive modes allow drivers to adjust the output of the powertrain and transmission to match the demands of the road. For Sportage models with an FWD configuration, the selectable drive modes are Normal, Sport, and Smart, which are designed for maximum efficiency. The AWD Sportage models add a Snow driving mode to enhance traction on icy or slick roads. 

Cargo Space

The Sportage has versatile cargo space that allows the second-row seats to be reconfigured to fit large cargo in the back. The dedicated cargo area can easily hold several large suitcases or big sports equipment with 39.6 cubic feet of cargo space. The maximum cargo volume for this SUV is 74.1 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded flat and the cargo floor is fully lowered. 

This mid-size Kia SUV has a five-passenger seating capacity with a rear bench seat that can fold or recline with a 40/60 split. The dual-level cargo floor allows the cargo deck board to be lowered to make room for taller cargo, or the deck board can be raised to create a hidden storage area. The cargo area also has a durable cargo cover for added security. 

The Kia Sportage is a perfect mid-size SUV for drivers who need dynamic performance and cargo capacity. Contact Coughlin Kia of Newark in Newark, OH to discuss finance options today.
