My Renegade is in the shop and I have a Sportage for the next week. I have to say, I'm thoroughly enjoying this car. Boy it is FAST!!!!! I drive in sport mode just to go down the street lol. The only negative is the mirrors. All of the mirrors just make everything look extremely close, closer than it needs to be. I'm constantly playing with them but it doesn't do any good.
Wow! Very solid review, Nolan! The Sportage definitely seems to live up to its name, but if consumers are in the search for the most practical and fuel efficient compact SUV they'll probably find other entries to be slightly more sufficient. All in all, though, the available premium features, the bold styling, and the relatively modest pricing of the Sportage makes it a pretty enticing buy. Keep up the great work, Nolan!
This thing is bulletproof...burnt the end of the spark plug off and blew it out the exhaust through the turbo and still running without a miss. Changed plugs and trading for a Camry ASAP

Prime Autotainment thanks for the reply. Seems like quite the omission for something Kia and Hyundai are usually awesome with... Lots of features for decent prices.

Thanks Dave! Let me know what y’all think of the Sportage!
At 4:55 I said spare tire is only on the SX, but it’s also optional on the EX
Prime Autotainment nice work, Nolan!!!!

Audacious Lex it’s definitely fun to drive! Good point on the mirrors, that’s something I didn’t even notice. Good luck with your Renegade!
OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR!
We just got our used 2018 Sportage SX - it's so much better than we expected!!

DriveAndBeDriven thanks Marcus! All good points!
I drove this car today and I actually loved it vs my Crosstour
I own the SX and I loved it. For me the sporty aspect was the most important and the Sportage was the best within the small SUV for the price.
Catalin M glad to hear it, I enjoyed the sporty aspect of it too!
Great Review Nolan. I am not sure why Kia did put radar cruise nor lane keeping on this vehicle. They have the tech.
canonlybeme4life thank you! I was surprised by that too 😕
A Korean that thinks it is European! Love that Kia warranty!

Didn’t see automatic cruise control. Does Kia still sell vehicles without it?
Galantino Israel correct, it doesn’t have it!

Awesome 😃 👍 2018 Kia Sportage Turbo review .
honda davis thank you!
I hate the front , the headlights do not match with the grill.
I love my 2017 sportage sxl 😍
Alejandro Hurtado Olivares glad to hear it!
The start/stop technology was a deal breaker for me. Having to disable it every time I take a trip would become too annoying
The Subaru B9 Tribeca is back!!
