Are you looking for a vehicle capable of taking you around town and off the beaten path? If so, the 2024 Kia Sportage could be your perfect vehicle. With its roomy interior providing ample space for all your gear and its excellent handling on any terrain, you can’t go wrong in choosing the Sportage as your next SUV. It offers many options and a sporty look that will help it stand out when cruising around McKinney, Texas, and beyond. Our Huffines Kia McKinney team created this guide to the adventure-ready 2024 Kia Sportage.
Power and Performance
The power and performance the 2024 Kia Sportage offers allow you to hit the trails or interstates confidently. Under the hood, you’ll find a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine that generates up to 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque to give you a thrilling driving experience. The powertrain pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel drive for the ultimate control and grip. Selectable drive modes ensure every ride is enjoyable. Front-wheel-drive models have normal, smart, and sport settings, and all-wheel-drive versions add a snow mode for improved traction on slippery terrain.
To help absorb imperfections on the road — regardless of whether it’s paved or dirt — the front MacPherson struts, coil springs, and stabilizer bar integrate with the rear independent multilink suspension to give you a smooth ride no matter the conditions. You’ll have all the stopping power you need in the Kia Sportage, with 12.6-inch front ventilated disc brakes and 11.8-inch rear solid disc brakes with an antilocking system.
Interior Comfort
You’ll have no problem staying calm and comfortable driving the 2024 Kia Sportage around McKinney or in the mountains. The base LX trim has a six-way manual driver’s seat, but upgrading one trim level to the EX or higher gets you a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with two-way power-adjustable lumbar support. Heated front seats are handy on those cold Texas mornings, and they’re standard in all but the base trim. You can choose from various seating materials to get the look and feel you want in the cabin of your Sportage.
Open the interior of the Kia Sportage to the outside world with the panoramic sunroof with a sunshade, which is standard on the SX trim and above and optional on the X-Line AWD. A leather-wrapped gear shift knob, LED interior lighting, and a convenient driver’s seat memory system are also standard on the SX and higher.
Exterior Design
The 2024 Kia Sportage has a dominating stance that will turn heads wherever you go. Its 8.3 inches of ground clearance on all-wheel-drive models helps it get over rough terrain with ease, and it comes with 17-, 18-, or 19-inch wheels, depending on the trim level you choose. You have the option of seven exciting variants — the LX, EX, X-Line AWD, SX, SX Prestige, Sportage X-Pro, and Sportage X-Pro Prestige — and can select from 11 solid paint color options and three two-tone color palettes to create a Sportage that suits your style.
With the optional high-utility roof rails, you can pack all the gear you need for any adventure, while the available smart power tailgate makes it easy to load and unload cargo. A body-color rear spoiler enhances the SUV’s aerodynamics and sleek design.
Safety Features
Safety features in the Kia Sportage are abundant, making you feel secure even when your tires leave the pavement. The Kia Drive Wise suite of driver-assist technologies, standard across all models, includes lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, lane following assist, rear parking distance warning, and forward collision avoidance assist with car, pedestrian, and cyclist detection. For blind-spot collision avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance assist, and a safe exit warning, go with the EX trim or higher.
The 2024 Kia Sportage Prestige offers several safety features you won’t get on other trims. These include a surround-view monitor, parking collision-avoidance assist when in reverse, a front parking distance warning, and a blind-spot view monitor. Highway driving assist and navigation-based smart cruise control with stop-and-go are standard for SX trims and above. Every model has a rear occupant alert, a LATCH system, and height-adjustable front seat belt anchors. A useful tire pressure monitoring system is also standard on every Sportage.
Technology and Entertainment
Whether you’re heading to work, exploring historic downtown McKinney, or taking a camping trip to Lewisville Lake, the 2024 Kia Sportage will keep you connected and entertained. The base trim has an 8-inch touch screen, but upgrading to the EX trim or higher gives you access to the larger 12.3-inch display with navigation. Both screens provide access to maps and other apps through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Standard front and rear USB ports enable you to keep your phone charged, and the EX and higher trims provide a wireless charger.
The standard six-speaker sound system is excellent for listening to your favorite playlist, but for an even better audio experience, opt for a trim with the eight-speaker Harman Kardon premium surround sound audio system. Bluetooth wireless technology is standard across the lineup, allowing you to connect your devices and use hands-free features to make calls.
