Reviews

One of the original Kia models sold in the U.S. when the brand arrived in 1995, the Sportage was discontinued in 2002 when the Sorento was launched. Today’s 5-passenger Sportage shares its car-based platform—as well as many of its styling cues—with the Hyundai Tucson. The Sportage was re-introduced in 2005, and has seen minimal changes since then.
