Why Buy? | 2017 Kia Sportage Review

Motor1 Senior Editor Jake Holmes finds out if Kia's turbo Sportage is as fun as it is funky in this week's Why Buy? As Tested Price: $34,859 For more Kia Sportage news and reviews, visit http://www.motor1.com/kia/sportage/ Compact crossovers are very similar in their general forms, price structures, and other key statistics. It’s a competitive segment that attracts a huge swath of the U.S. car-buying public, and Kia is eager to grab as much of the action as possible. The new 2017 Kia Sportage aims to attract more buyers than the outgoing model, which was always an also-ran in the sales race. One of the key ways it stands out from the competition? A fun character from top to bottom, with bold styling and a driving character that’s supposed to make it more fun than its rivals.
