Conroe Kia Dealer

Buyers looking for a compact crossover with an attractive and sophisticated interior and head-turning exterior styling should take a close look at the 2019 Kia Sportage. According to the folks at Conroe Kia, buyers appreciate the Sportage’s agile handling, smooth ride, and spacious and quiet cabin. We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the incredible Kia warranty, which covers the Sportage for 5 years and 60,000 miles bumper to bumper, and 10 years and 100,000 miles for the powertrain.

The Sportage seats five passengers comfortably. Buyers can choose from three trim levels: LX, EX and SX Turbo. All models get standard front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive offered as an option. Customers of the Conroe Kia dealer who have opted for the Dynamax AWD system tell us they appreciate the extra traction that helps keep the vehicle on track when driving over wet or icy roads. The Dynamax system features a locking differential.

The Sportage LX and EX are powered by a standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 181 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. Opt for the SX Turbo and you’ll get a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit that produces 240 hp and 260 lb-ft of twist. (This engine puts out 237 hp with all-wheel-drivemodels.) Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox. The 2.0-liter engine has a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds.

The automotive experts at Edmunds were impressed by the 2019 Kia Sportage, writing: “There's a lot to like about the 2019 Kia Sportage. First and foremost, it's a strong value proposition. It comes with a lot of features for the money, and its warranty coverage is among the longest you'll find. On the road, we give it high marks for its comfortable ride quality, spacious interior and quiet cabin. It's also one of the few small crossover SUVs to offer a powerful optional engine upgrade.”

Inside, you’ll be impressed by the Sportage’s comfortable driver’s seat, which offers outstanding outward visibility. You won’t need to hunt for places to stow your stuff, as the Sportage has several storage spaces and cubbies to accommodate you. Passengers in the rear seats have ample head- and legroom to stretch out and the reclining seatbacks add even more comfort. Some trim levels get heated outboard seats in the second row. A USB port and a 12-volt outlet in the rear let passengers plug in their devices.
