Combined with strong, sculpted flanks and a wide set liftgate, the 2023 Kia Sportage design is both clean and distinct.
Along with the stunning new light designs, the 2023 Sportage is equipped with LED lights across the board for the best possible illumination on the road ahead. Automatic LED headlights, a high mount stop lamp, positioning lights, multi-reflector headlights, and

Clearly, the 2023 Sportage reaffirms Kia’s power without compromise stance.
The 2023 Sportage has ushered in gas, plug-in hybrid, and a turbo hybrid options, effectively upping its green driving game into the quickly-expanding zero emissions auto industry aspirations.

Aside from great style, comfort, and efficiency, a well-rounded SUV is nothing without elevated safety. The 2023 Kia Sportage delivers this with its Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) technology. Where your vision ends, the ADAS begins. With sophisticated sensors and cameras, this technology will help prevent rear collisions with audio and visual proximity alerts in addition to emergency braking intervention.
Take the shoulder check, neck strain, and anxiety out of lane changes with the Sportage’s available Blind View Monitor. This extra set of eyes will display a live feed of the rear traffic when you activate your turn signal.
This all-new generation of the Kia Sportage has undergone a total redesign to reflect the versatility and modern insight of the beloved SUV. High contrast design elements, the incredibly intuitive dashboard-mounted infotainment screen, and an upgraded chassis all come together for a revitalised character and dynamic driving experience.
