2022 Kia Sportage SX Turbo AWD

2022 Kia Sportage SX Turbo AWD

The Sportage's driving behavior depends on what's under the hood. Most models have a 181-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder that's sedate but will satisfy most people's needs. Those looking for a zestier option with quicker acceleration will want the 237-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four, which is only available on the top-of-the-line SX Turbo trim. While a front-wheel-drive version of the spiciest Sportage that we tested several years ago was speedy, our more recent test of an all-wheel-drive SX Turbo was less impressive in that department. Still, we appreciated the prompt responses from its six-speed automatic transmission, which comes standard on every model. There's also not a night-and-day difference in driving enjoyment between the two engines, although the turbocharged engine can turn mundane milk runs into rollicking rides. All Sportage models have above-average handling characteristics.

While we love the speedy turbocharged model, it's hard to justify its price given that the less powerful engine is still enjoyable to drive. Depending on what trim level you choose, the bottom line will increase by $1500–$1700 when you add all-wheel drive. We think the EX trim combines the best features at a reasonable price. Every Sportage includes dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, passive entry, and a power-operated liftgate. For those who want a more luxurious experience, we'd recommend adding the EX Technology package for its adaptive cruise control, leather surfaces, heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, upgraded audio system, panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, and more.

In its segment, the Sportage lives near the bottom of the fuel-sipping hierarchy, well below what the Mazda CX-5 and Honda CR-V achieve. The front-drive, base-engine Sportage earns 23 mpg city and 30 highway, according to the EPA. Those numbers drop by 1 and 4 mpg, respectively, when all-wheel drive is added. The front-drive turbo model has EPA estimates of 20 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, but those figures drop to 19 mpg city and 24 mpg highway with all-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive SX Turbo returned a measly 23 mpg on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen. The Kia's real-world result is substantially lower than the 29 mpg we saw on an all-wheel-drive, turbocharged CX-5. For more information about the Sportage's fuel economy.

For the 2022 model year, Kia makes modest changes to the Sportage lineup, with the previously optional Nightfall Edition package replacing the S trim level. The base LX model also adds the newly named Value Edition package, which includes features that used to be reserved for fancier trims. The list includes dark 18-inch wheels, heated front seats, passive keyless entry and push-button start, and more. Every Sportage EX now comes with a panoramic sunroof, and the EX Technology package and SX Turbo models both add 10 years of complimentary map updates as well as new software and features for their navigation systems.
