New Models Kia Sportage: More Juicy Details are Confirmed After releasing the first pictures of the new, fifth-generation Sportage a few weeks ago, Kia is now sharing more details and there is plenty to cover.
Cabin noise. In testing, the independent IIHS has given the new Sportage top "Good" scores on all of its tests, including the small-overlap front crash. We give it an overall safety score of 7, noting its advanced safety technology can't be had on base models.
Kia makes available in the Sportage its latest safety-feature content, including forward-collision warnings with automatic braking. The package also includes high beam assist, lane-departure warnings, and front and rear parking assist plus some other audio and comfort features that are wrapped in with it.
That less expensive package does not include the emergency braking that safety agencies have recently focused in on as accident-avoiding and potentially life-saving. Kia says that the new body structure itself sheds 55 pounds versus the previous-generation body, thanks in part to a big boost in the amount of high-strength steel now 51 percent versus 18 percent.

You can also opt for heated leather seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power passenger seat. The SX adds those items, plus larger inch wheels, a sport suspension, LED fog lamps and taillights, bi-xenon headlamps with Dynamic Bending Light, a power tailgate, a flat-bottom steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a so-called Supervision gauge cluster with a separate 4.
And visually it subs in satin exterior trim plus folding side mirrors with integral turn signals. Additionally, the SX gets an even larger 8. All models come fitted with a touchscreen for audio and phone connectivity, plus Bluetooth with audio streaming, satellite radio, and watts of sound through six speakers. A bigger 7. Compared to gasoline-only rival models, the Sportage ends up mpg behind most models with comparable engine sizes and outputs.
Still, no hybrid is offered in the range. We give it a score of 6 in the green category. Mid-range EX models come with the same 2. Moving to the 2. Over about miles of driving—split between FWD and AWD SX models—we barely managed 20 mpg according to the trip computer; although to be fair, that included some hilly two-lane roads and fast-moving freeway travel.
