2019 Kia Sportage

The 2019 Kia Sportage carries over this year with no major changes. Last year's Technology Package for the LX trim has been dropped.

Kia has added to its reputation for value with some of the best exterior and interior designs available in popular brands. The 2019 Kia Sportage is a good-looking, well-performing compact crossover that measures up to the best in the class. The EX model, with its impressive equipment list and available all-wheel drive, represents the best balance of price, convenience and capability in the Sportage lineup. If you're looking for a replacement for your sedan or large SUV, you may find a good match here. Find a Kia Sportage for sale
