Updated front and rear bumpers enhance its athletic stance, while new alloy wheels in 17-, 18-, and 19-inch sizes provide options for every Canadian driving preference. The rear LED taillights with transparent Star Map design complete the sophisticated aesthetic.
Advanced Canadian Connectivity
Inside, the Sportage delivers a technology suite designed for connected Canadian lifestyles. The impressive dual 12.3-inch panoramic display that seamlessly integrates the instrument cluster and infotainment system is standard across all trims. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity ensures Canadian drivers stay connected without cables, while the new available 10-inch head-up display keeps essential information within the driver's field of vision.
The innovative Kia Digital Key transforms compatible smartphones into vehicle keys—perfect for active Canadian lifestyles. Kia Connect services enhance the ownership experience with remote climate control (ideal for Canadian weather extremes), vehicle tracking, and Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities to stay connected even in remote areas.
Efficient Performance for Canadian Conditions
The Sportage offers multiple powertrain options engineered for Canadian driving conditions and efficiency needs. The hybrid model delivers an estimated 231 horsepower, while the plug-in hybrid version impresses with 268 horsepower. Both hybrid models maintain a 907 kg towing capacity, perfect for hauling outdoor gear for weekend adventures.
All AWD models come with a specialized Terrain Mode for added confidence on Canadian terrain, allowing drivers to confidently navigate through snow, mud, or sand—essential for year-round Canadian driving conditions.
