In recent years, the compact SUV market has become more and more competitive. But with so many excellent choices, it can be hard to decide which compact SUV is right for you. Today, we are going to look at four reasons why the 2020 Kia Sportage is one of the best overall compact SUVs on the market and a great choice for you and your family. 

1. A Comfortable Place to Be

One of the biggest draws of the Kia Sportage is its standout interior. Quality fixtures and premium upholstery give this well-priced SUV a luxury feeling.

It doesn’t just look good. It’s fun to be in too. The Sportage’s infotainment system comes on an easy-to-use 8-inch touch screen. As well, the Apple and Android capable six-speaker sound system makes sure that you’ll never go without your favorite driving tunes.

2. Practical and Dependable Build Quality

One of the best aspects of buying a Kia is knowing that you are getting a well-made, dependable car. The Sportage is no different in that respect.

From the comfortable interior to the modern exterior, the Kia Sportage shows its pedigree and improves upon Kia’s record of quality assurance. J.D. Power even gave it a score of 4.5/5 in predicted reliability. With the Sportage, you can rest easy knowing that your car will spend its time on the road and not in the shop.

3. Next-Generation Safety

For such an affordable car, the 2020 Kia Sportage does a remarkable job of packing in a lot of safety features. On the entry-level model, you get features like a driver attention monitor, an automatic braking system with pedestrian detection, and a rear-view camera. All of this means the Sportage will keep you safe on the road.

Safety considerations are also apparent in how this car was built. On its crash test ratings, the 2020 Kia Sportage scored 5/5. And from the Insurance Institute for Highway Traffic Safety, it was given the highest rating possible.

4. Fun to Drive

Safety and comfort are great, but at the end of the day, you want something that can go when you need it to. The Sportage comes standard with a 181 horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. If more power is your thing, you can upgrade to the Sportage SX Turbo to get a full 240 horsepower out of your turbocharged engine.

The Sportage doesn’t just have power. The six-speed automatic transmission does a great job of managing that power. The end result is a balance of sportiness and confidence that makes you feel great behind the wheel.

When you are choosing a compact SUV, there are a lot of factors you are going to want to weigh. Safety, performance, appearance, and feel are all going to play a role. The Kia Sportage does a remarkable job of standing out in all of these important categories.
