2012 Kia Sportage LX 4WD 4Dr SUV

Fuel: 21 mpg city / 28 mpg hwy
MSRP: $22,300

After a complete refresh in 2011, the Kia Sportage is carried over from last year with minimal changes. Offered in Base, LX and EX, and SX Turbo trim levels, the Sportage features such standard equipment as air conditioning, power locks, power windows/mirrors, and Sirius Satellite radio. The LX upgrades the base with integrated LED turn signal mirrors, and rear tinted windows. The top-of-the-line EX comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, and leather-wrapped shifter and steering wheel. The Sportage is Kia's longest running nameplate and was the recipient of a 2011 Vehicle Satisfaction Award from AutoPacific last year, which measures consumer satisfaction of vehicle ownership.
