Made for First impressions
Bold Design
From grille to tail, the 2018 Sportage is a true work of art. With available 19-inch machine-finished alloys and eye-catching LED light bar taillights, the features and finishes on Sportage will make even the fiercest competitor do a double take.
Close
Made for warmer welcomes
Welcome Lighting System
Not only does the available Smart key make push-button starts possible, the available welcome lighting system automatically senses your key as you approach, unfolds the mirrors and illuminates the door handle pockets and interior lights to provide a welcome reception.
Close
Made for Looking Good
Sideview Mirrors
The heated side view mirrors not only improve visibility in frosty climates, they also conveniently tuck away when parked on EX and SX models. Plus, the available integrated turn signal repeaters make your every move well-known.
Close
Made for Seeing Beyond
Dynamic Headlights
The Sportage uses available High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Xenon headlights that are strategically placed away from the grille to create a bold and aggressive look, with directionally adaptive headlights that will help illuminate around every corner.

Made for uncompromising performance

A 2.4-litre direct-injected engine producing 181 horsepower comes standard, but if you’re looking for even more power, an available 2.0-litre turbocharged engine produces an impressive 237 horsepower and 260 lb-ft. of torque.

Made for STAYING OUT OF HARM'S WAY

If you happen to drift out of your lane, the available Lane Departure Warning system will notify you with an audible and visual alert to help keep you out of harms way.²

2018 Kia Sportage - Smart Power Liftgate

Made for easy access

Thanks to proximity technology, just stand behind the liftgate with the smart key in your pocket or purse and in mere seconds the available Smart power liftgate will effortlessly open on its own.

Made for THE UNEXPECTED

The Sportage comes with an available Autonomous Emergency Braking system that intervenes automatically, providing full braking assistance, up to a complete stop when possible if it detects a potential collision with a vehicle in front of you.²

Feature Highlights

Dynamax^™
Available Dynamax^™ Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) offers fully automatic torque distribution that proactively transfers torque for better traction during acceleration, cornering or in low traction scenarios.
Drive Mode Select
Every Sportage comes standard with Drive Mode Select function which adjusts power delivery, transmission shift points and steering feedback to suit road, weather conditions and your driving style. Normal mode is for regular driving, Eco emphasizes fuel efficiency and comfort, while Sport delivers more aggressive, performance-oriented responsiveness.
Impact Safety
With six standard air bags and a chassis that’s manufactured with advanced high strength steel, the Sportage is engineered to help direct crash energy away from the cabin. So you can rest assured that the Sportage is built with safety in mind.
Blind Spot Detection System
The available blind spot detection system actively monitors your blind spots for approaching vehicles and provides a visual alert on the instrument cluster and outside mirrors, as well as an audible alert when necessary.²
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
When backing out of a parking space, available Rear Cross Traffic Alert detects and warns you of traffic approaching from the left or right.²
Vehicle Stability
The 2018 Sportage comes with many standard safety features, like Electronic Stability Control, Vehicle Stability Management, Hill Assist Control and Downhill Brake Control, to help keep you safe behind the wheel.
