2022 Kia Sportage Performance Ratings

Kia Sportage has been a mainstay in the subcompact SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) sector since it was introduced in the 1990s. To stay relevant, the vehicle has undergone various revisions over the years and added features to distinguish itself from competitors. And guess what? Sportage is still attracting significant attention two decades after its inception, and there is a great possibility for the vehicle to emerge as the segment leader in 2022. New trims are added to the Kia Sportage portfolio for 2022, and certain levels get significant changes, such as heated front seats, a standard sunroof, hands-free keyless entry, and brand new 18-inch wheels. The 2022 Kia Sportage is now available for purchase at Garden Grove Kia in Garden Grove, CA, with these enhancements.
