The 2013 Kia Sportage is a 4-door, 5-passenger sport utility vehicle available in 4 trims. With the redesigned 2013 Kia Sportage, Kia makes an entry into the compact SUV market. The new Sportage comes with more power and features compared to the original, mid-nineties Sportage. Using the same platform of the new Hyundai Tucson, the 2013 Kia Sportage features a unibody construction and a four-wheel-independent suspension. Available in two trims, LX and EX, every 2013 Kia Sportage is well equipped with safety features such as side-curtain airbags, traction control, side-impact airbags, stability control, and four-wheel-disc antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution. Other standard features on the 2013 Kia Sportage include power windows, power door locks, cruise control, a roof rack, privacy glass, and 16-inch alloy wheels wearing 215/65 tires are also standard.

Inside, the 2013 Kia Sportage features full-flat front seats, fold and dive, split rear seats, upward swinging hatch, spare tire under cargo floor, flip-up tailgate glass etc. Both the LX and EX trims of the 2013 Kia Sportage are powered by a 2.7-liter V6 engine that generates 173 horsepower. While a five-speed manual transmission with front-wheel drive is standard, a four-speed automatic transmission is optional. The LX trim can be equipped with a 4WD system as long as you don't mind rowing your own gears with the manual transmission.

The 4WD system on the 2013 Kia Sportage sends nearly all engine output to the front wheels under normal conditions. The 4WD system can automatically transfer as much as half of the engine's power to the rear wheels when it detects any slippage of front wheels. At speeds below 20 mph, the driver can lock the driveline into a 50/50 power split by pressing a button on the dashboard. To take on the dirt roads and heavy snowfalls, the 2013 Kia Sportage comes with 7.7 inches of ground clearance thereby making travel easier. A luxury package on the EX trim of 2013 Sportage adds leather seat upholstery, automatic headlight control, heated front seats etc. Feel free to contact us for the best deals on the 2013 Kia Sportage, and we'll be glad to help you.
