The Sportage compact crossover returns to the Kia lineup for 2013 with the same head-turning design, impressive power, outstanding fuel efficiency and a plethora of comfort and convenience features.

Available in four trims -- base, LX, EX and SX -- the 2013 Sportage offers a high beltline, sweeping angles and pronounced wheel flares, conveying an indomitable road presence with an aggressive, hunkered-down stance. The full-sectioned body, defined by a spearing shoulder line throughout the length of the car, helps to visually connect the headlamps and tail lights.

Building on an already successful formula of strong attributes, the 2013 Sportage returns with additional exterior and interior enhancements, including standard LED headlamp accent lighting (LX and EX trims), power folding side mirrors (optional on EX and standard on SX), upgraded leather on the steering wheel (standard on EX and SX), a standard sun visor extender and an optional Blue Interior Package.

To reduce cabin noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) and improve driving dynamics, all 2013 Sportage models feature rear dynamic suspension dampers, floor insulation and standard high-performance dampers on EX models. LX trims also come standard with 17-inch wheels and low-rolling-resistance tires.

The Kia Sportage offers fun-to-drive performance as well as fuel efficiency. An efficient 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with Continuously Variable Valve Timing -- standard on base, LX and EX trims -- offers 176 horsepower and can come equipped with either a six-speed manual with front-wheel drive or automatic transmission with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

A standard 2.0-liter turbocharged GDI engine mated with the six-speed automatic transmission is available on SX models offering increased output of 260 horsepower. All automatics feature Sportmatic clutchless shifting.
