Price: The 2022 Kia Sportage starts at $24,090.
The 2022 Kia Sportage is an excellent compact crossover/SUV in a class full of equally superb contenders. Buyers really are spoiled for choice. Where the Sportage makes its case is the amount of standard equipment included in the price, plus a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Trim levels for the 2022 Sportage are LX, Nightfall, EX, and SX Turbo. This generation launched for the 2017 model year, and an all-new model is due next year. Which might make potential buyers decide to wait, or they could try to negotiate a sweeter deal on this year’s model.
There’s a similar-sized crossover in the Kia stable, the newer Seltos. What’s the difference between the Kia Sportage and the Kia Seltos? The Sportage offers a more powerful engine option. Yet, although the Seltos is classified as a subcompact, it has slightly more maximum cargo space and virtually the same amount of rear legroom.
Compact crossovers have an appeal going from young singles to families to empty-nesters - virtually anyone who wants decent practicality and a raised driving position. The 2022 Sportage is a good call, but not the best.
Factory Options
This year, buyers of the LX Sportage now have the choice of spending $2,100 on a Value Edition package or $4,000 on the next-up Nightfall model. The extras in the package that come standard in the Nightfall include 18-inch alloy wheels, heated side mirrors, power-adjustable driver’s seat, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
However, that package also has heated front seats, keyless entry/ignition, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The rest of the Nightfall model has mainly cosmetic additions, plus a flat-bottomed steering wheel, paddle shifters, and simulated leather upholstery.
Hands-free tailgate operation comes in at the EX level, along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a USB port for rear passengers. EX trim also offers a Technology package that brings features like wireless charging, satellite radio, navigation, adaptive cruise control, front/rear parking sensors, and a Harman Kardon audio system upgrade.
The SX Turbo has all of the above, and a turbocharged engine, metal sport pedals, leather seating surfaces, 19-inch alloy wheels, sport-tuned suspension, and full LED exterior lighting.
Every 2022 Sportage trim qualifies for all-wheel drive.
Engine & Transmission
The main engine in the 2022 Sportage range is a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder unit. It’s naturally aspirated (no turbocharger) and makes a perfectly adequate 181 horsepower. We’d like it better if it was more economical in city driving, but there isn’t much else to complain about.
The range-topping SX Turbo model has, to no one’s surprise, a turbocharged engine. It’s the increasingly common 2.0-liter 4-cylinder configuration and makes a meaty 240 horsepower (or 237 when all-wheel drive is in the picture). Naturally, it uses a little more fuel than its less powerful counterpart.
Both engines connect to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is the basic setup, and all-wheel drive (AWD) is optional at every trim level. Maximum towing capacity of the Sportage is 2,000 pounds, regardless of engine.
