The Kia Sportage is getting some fun new updates this model year. The compact crossover is a popular CUV model that many Phoenix residents have chosen for their family car. This year, the CUV gets some nice additions that give it even more of a premium feel.
Available in three trim levels: LX, EX and SX, the Sportage continues to offer plenty of space, utility and tech features. Looking through the changes and updates on these trims, the LX Popular Package gets a new touchscreen display and new auto on/off headlamps. The EX trim adds Smart Key with push-button start and leather-trimmed upholstery as standard, while the EX Premium Package adds front foglights, integrated turn signals in the side mirrors, a cooled glove box and the Infinity Premium audio system. The SX gets these updates as well, along with a turbocharged engine, LED daytime running lamps, aluminum door-scuff plates and unique wheels.
Under the hood, the Sportage keeps its two engine options for 2016: the 2.4-liter GDI inline four-cylinder and the 2.0-liter GDI turbocharged inline four-cylinder. All-wheel-drive capabilities continue across all three trims, while the six-speed automatic transmission remains standard as well.
