Kia Sportage

Automaker Kia has officially revealed its redesigned fifth-generation Sportage compact SUV. Kia has used a new and more organic design for the SUV that it says gives it a bold and sophisticated look. Whatever fancy language Kia wants to use to describe the design of its vehicle, it is extremely attractive.

There’s a huge market out there for small SUVs and crossovers, so it only stands to reason that just about every automaker has an entry in this space these days. While I haven’t driven every SUV for the latest model year, the 2017 Kia Sportage SX Turbo is my favorite so far.

Kia recently brought us out to San Diego to drive the all-new 2017 Kia Sportage and experience all that is new and improved with their popular compact crossover. It’s hard to believe, but the Sportage is Kia Motors America’s longest-running nameplate, dating back to 1994 when the Korean automaker first entered the US market.
