5 Notable Features of the 2025 Kia Sportage

Class-Leading Comfort

Incredibly spacious for a compact crossover, the 2025 Sportage delivers first-class comfort. It has ample room for five adults, with 41.4 inches of legroom at the front and nearly the same space in the second row. This means even the tallest riders can stretch comfortably during long journeys. Power-adjustable front seats are standard on most trim levels, and the reclining rear bench also allows your passengers to customize comfort.

Best-in-Class Cargo Capacity

This spacious ride also provides plenty of room for cargo. Behind the rear seats, a cargo area with a dual-level cargo floor delivers a capacity of 39.6 cubic feet. The lower compartment is perfect for storing a spare wheel, flat-tire kit, tools, or other essentials, while the upper area can fit lots of grocery bags or luggage.

You can also fold one or both sides of the 60/40 split rear backrest to make room for bulkier items. With both sides folded, you can expand the cargo area up to 74.1 cubic feet behind the front seats.

Powerful Performance

Each trim level of the 2025 Sportage is powered by a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, and you can choose between front-wheel drive, which is standard, or optional all-wheel drive. Both drivetrains have selectable drive modes for improved performance in various driving conditions, including a convenient Snow mode on the AWD models.

Both powertrain options also deliver impressive fuel economy ratings, with an EPA-estimated 28 miles per gallon combined with the standard FWD or 25 miles per gallon combined with the AWD system.

Premium Technology

Connectivity on the go comes from an intuitive eight-inch infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. The system also allows you to connect your phone via Bluetooth and stream music from compatible devices. All trims except for the base come with an upgraded infotainment system with a 10.25-inch center touchscreen and KiaConnect compatibility.

Advanced Driver Assistance

Kia also equips this versatile ride with a wealth of driver assistance technologies, including reverse parking distance warning, lane management systems, and forward collision-avoidance assistance. A rearview monitor with parking guidance is also standard, helping new drivers gain confidence behind the wheel. Available upgrades include blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assistance.

Whether you need a daily driver or an adventure companion, the 2025 Sportage can be your match. Take it for a test drive at Kia of Columbia in Columbia, MO
