Why the 2025 Kia Sportage Might Be the SUV of Your Dreams

The compact SUV is one of the most versatile vehicles you can choose. It offers more cargo space than a sedan, elevated seating, efficiency, and a smooth ride.

The good news is that you don’t have to make the decision alone when our team at Lupient Kia Milwaukee, your premier Kia dealer, is by your side.

An Eye-Catching Design

The 2025 Kia Sportage has a striking exterior design that turns heads. Kia’s iconic “Tiger Nose” grille, sharp LED headlights, and aerodynamic profile make the Sportage look as modern as it performs. There are also a number of unique color options that help it stand out in a crowd as well, such as “Sapphire Blue” and “Jungle Green,” allowing you the chance to express your individuality. Additionally, depending on the trim you choose, you can take advantage of the two-tone trend, which gives you a different body and roof color, or the Smart Power Liftgate for easier unloading and loading.

Specific trims, such as the Sportage X-Pro, take the exterior look up a notch. This rugged version of the Sportage offers 8.3 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, a unique fascia with high-utility roof rails, and blackout trim and badges. On the inside, the sophisticated design has a minimalist vibe, but don’t let that fool you. Kia has outfitted the Sportage with high-quality materials, the option to add a panoramic sunroof, and ample room for both passengers and cargo. More on the comfort and convenience is found below.

Cutting-Edge Technology

The 2025 Sportage is jam-packed with technology that improves convenience and safety. The dashboard features an available 12.3-inch dual-screen infotainment touchscreen, along with a fully digital instrument cluster. The touchscreen space adds up to over 24 inches of display area, giving you easy access to things like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and turn-by-turn directions. You can also keep your digital devices charged and the front of the car wire-free thanks to the available wireless charging feature. Additionally, there are two USB-C charging ports available for passengers in the back seat.

There are also technological features that keep you safe during the drive, like the available 360-degree Surround View Monitor. This feature turns your touchscreen displays into a way for you to see what obstacles are behind you as you reverse. Even better? The available Blind-Spot View Monitor displays a live view of your rear blind spots on your instrument cluster when you activate the turn signal.

The 2025 Kia Sportage is also equipped with a long list of standard and available driver assistance safety technology, including Auto Emergency Braking, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Safe Exit Warning, Parking Distance Warning, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist. Our team can explore each of these with you to see which trims offer what features. In addition, we can review what features can be remotely accessed using the Kia Access App. Last but not least is Kia’s available Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go. This system helps you maintain a safe speed while on curved sections of the road when driving on the highway by adapting the speed before and after the curve.

Performance and Efficiency

The 2025 Kia Sportage is equipped with a 2.5L inline four-cylinder engine that offers up to 187 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. That engine is paired with an eight-speed transmission. Regarding fuel efficiency, you can expect to get up to 25 MPG in town and 32 MPG on the highway. It’s also worth mentioning that the Sportage can be equipped with an all-wheel drive system that includes Multi-Terrain Drive Modes, which help the SUV handle a bit of light off-roading in addition to getting you from home to work and back home again. If this is something you’re looking for, we suggest checking out the X-Pro and X-Pro Prestige trims in our inventory.

You can also take advantage of the 2025 Kia Sportage hybrid and plug-in hybrid options if reducing your carbon footprint while improving your driving range is a priority. Both offer many of the same great features of the gas-powered version, plus increased efficiency.

Practicality and Comfort

While it’s classified as a compact SUV, one of the Sportage’s main selling qualities is its large and functional interior. In fact, it might surprise you to learn that the Sportage offers class-leading cargo room and rear seat legroom—and with the above-mentioned power liftgate, you can access that cargo space easier than ever before. In addition to providing you and your passengers plenty of room, you’ll also find that the seats are nicely cushioned and comfortable, whether you’re headed down the block or taking a road trip with friends. Plus, certain trims give you upgraded comfort by adding things like power-adjustable seating for the driver’s seat, dual-zone auto climate control, heated seats, ventilated seats, and a heated steering wheel.

Affordability and Value

After reading all that, you likely understand why the Kia Sportage could be the car of your dreams but wonder what all those features cost. You’ll be happy to know that despite its luxury amenities, the 2025 Kia Sportage remains reasonably priced, especially when you factor in Kia’s industry-leading warranty that lasts for 10 years or 100,000 miles. Additionally, our factory-trained technicians have access to the latest tools and high-quality parts to help keep your Sportage in tip-top shape.
