AVAILABLE CONFIGURATIONS

When you’re shopping for a Kia vehicle, you know more or less what you want from it. For every set of wheels, there are specific features equipped to each model. Therefore, you need to choose the right trim for your unique lifestyle.

When you look at the 2022 Kia Sportage, you’ll see it comes in four trim levels: Sportage LX, Sportage Nightfall Edition, Sportage EX, and Sportage SX Turbo. 

One of the key Kia Sportage features is the available Dynamax™ Full-Time All-Wheel Drive system with locking center differential.

These bold hues and shades give the Kia Sportage plenty of curb appeal:

• Sparkling Silver

KIA SPORTAGE LX 

The LX trim of the Kia Sportage is the entry-level trim—the standard model that the higher trims are built off of. This vehicle is equipped with a standard 2.4L 4-cylinder engine that produces up to 181 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. Overall, this engine achieves an EPA-estimated 23 city/30 highway MPG.¹

In addition, you can ensure that your Kia Sportage performs as efficiently as you want it to, with Drive Select Mode. This feature comes with three drive modes, each tuning the engineering of the Kia Sportage to meet your demands:

• Sport gives you more power and acceleration for an aggressive drive.
• Eco alters the Kia Sportage drivetrain to a more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly drive.
• Normal mode strikes a balance between Sport and Eco that will give you a well-rounded performance.

Choose the mode that best suits your driving style and the drivetrain will configure itself to maximize the performance. It’s simple to change up as well. So, when you pull off the highway onto residential streets, you can adjust it as you see fit.

This trim also comes with active safety features to heighten your awareness on the open road. With these systems at your side, you’ll have more peace of mind during your daily commutes. With the Sportage LX trim, you’ll have:

KIA SPORTAGE NIGHTFALL EDITION

Move on up to the Kia Sportage Nightfall Edition trim and you’ll gain even more impressive safety features. This trim is armed with the standard Blind-Spot Collision Warning, which monitors your blind spots and alerts you to approaching vehicles. When the coast is clear, you can safely change lanes.

To further enhance your awareness, the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning also comes standard. If you’re backing up and this system detects another machine coming from the side, you’ll receive an audible warning to urge you to brake. Thanks to these built-in sensors, you can avoid minor accidents during your travels.

When you grip the wheel, you’ll enjoy the smooth texture and supple material of the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Nightfall Edition trim features a flat-bottomed sport steering wheel. It invokes the feeling of motorsport so that when you take bends on the highway, you’ll feel at one with your Kia. It’s a great addition to an engaging drive.

The Nightfall Edition also comes with alloy sport pedals. This feature further enhances the athletic and fun atmosphere this Kia Sportage trim is already bursting with. It’s what will keep you looking forward to every drive.
