2008 Kia Sportage Review
| "All controls are within easy reach of the driver; for both manual and automatic transmissions, the gear lever is located within easy reach on the center console." (Source: Cars.com) |
|
|
| "The Sportage scores on the safety front by including standard four-wheel disc brakes, seat-mounted side-impact airbags for front occupants and front and rear head-protecting curtain airbags." (Source: Edmunds.com) |
|
|
| "The stylish interior features quality materials and great ergonomics." (Source: Edmunds.com) |
|
|
| "...offers generous interior space for passengers and cargo, a benefit of its long wheelbase. Its design also allows the doors to be wider than they might otherwise be for better access, especially in the rear seats." (Source: New Car Test Drive) |
|
|
| "The Sportage styling echoes that of the Kia Sorento. Its rounded front end has clear-lens headlamps and air intakes sculpted into the front bumper." (Source: Cars.com) |
|
|
| "Down on power and cargo capacity versus its competitors." (Source: Edmunds.com) |
|
|
| "The Sportage is longer, wider and taller than the average compact SUV." (Source: Edmunds.com) |
|
|
| "Even with a V6 the Sportage ends up being considerably less expensive than the similar sized Honda CR-V and the smaller Toyota RAV4, both of which are only available with four-cylinder engines." (Source: New Car Test Drive) |
|
|
| "If it is cargo you want to carry the Sportage delivers the goods." (Source: New Car Test Drive) |
