2017 Kia Sportage named Cars.com “Best New Compact SUV”

We’ve been very fortunate here at Garden Grove Kia to witness the Kia brand and all its different models grow and evolve, gaining both praise in the auto industry and trust among consumers of all kinds. This growth and development is starting to pay off, as the 2017 Kia Sportage was named Cars.com’s “Best New Compact SUV.” We’ll tell you why it’s so deserving!

Why is being recognized by Cars.com so important?

Whether you’re a seasoned car enthusiast or just a casual internet user, you probably know that Cars.com is one of the most respected names in the automotive industry. Their “Best Of” show, presented annually at the Detroit Auto Show, awards vehicles in select areas based on three criteria; quality, innovation and value. Since the 2017 Sportage was released with a major facelift and engineering changes, the choice to name it “Best New Compact SUV” was easy.

Let’s hear from Cars.com editor-in-chief Patrick Olsen for more on the 2017 Sportage:

The redesigned 2017 Sportage compact SUV continues… with its distinctive styling, a roomy interior, easy-to-use technology and upscale available features…The SUV segment is booming and compact SUVs are especially hot. That field is extremely competitive, but the new Sportage is well positioned to challenge them — and win.”

We couldn’t agree more.

2017 Kia Sportage features and availability

It’s easy to see why the new Sportage is such a consensus choice at the top of the crossover pack. When outfitted with available front crash prevention it’s been named an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus, and its base 2.4-liter Inline 4 engine can produce up to 181 horsepower, all while giving you up to 30 highway miles per gallon. Inside, a slew of driver assistance and entertainment features add up to a driving experience that’s second to none.
