Kia Sportage

The Kia Sportage 2018 is one of the more affordable compact crossovers available on the Canadian market. Some upgrades were made to the Sportage this model year that include advanced safety systems in the EX Premium and EX Tech trims. Meanwhile, the SX trim level still has its turbocharged engine for sportier driving.

Buyers of the Kia Sportage in Calgary are attracted by its competitive pricing, all-wheel-drive option, and excellent fuel economy. The industry-best warranty offered by Kia doesn't hurt either. Here at Eastside Kia, we also offer premium-level service and help.

Design and Interior

The Kia Sportage 2018 model continues with the new-generation crossover's great looks. A rounded, short front end with a large fascia and upward-rising headlamps begins the fast-paced look of the Sportage. The raked windscreen and tapered roofline augment the high beltline of the Sportage, offsetting the higher ground clearance and robust fenders and wheel arches marking this as a crossover-SUV.

Inside, the Kia Sportage offers an upscale interior that rivals anything offered by higher-priced competitors. Comfortable front seating is placed before a driver-centric dashboard design that tilts instruments to the driver. An adjustable steering wheel and easy-to-read instruments are standard in the Sportage. As are USB plug-ins, a large storage bin, and smooth dashboard lining.

In the back seats, there is more legroom than expected of a vehicle this size, with the Kia Sportage offering good headroom and plenty of space for rear passengers. Cargo space is also good and is easy to access thanks to the tall opening created by the hatch.

Powertrain/Performance

Excellent fuel economy is a high point of the Kia Sportage 2018. The Sportage is offered in three trim points with two engine options. Both front-wheel and all-wheel drive are available for the LX and EX trims and AWD is standard in the SX.
