The Kia Sportage has 187hp, standard. All of the Sportage models produce 187hp from the same 4-Cylinder Inline 2.5L engine that goes with an 8-speed auto transmission. Most of the Kia Sportage trim levels come prepped using the FWD drive mode and offer AWD as an optional drive type option. Only the X-Line AWD, Sportage X-Pro, and Sportage X-Pro Prestige equip AWD as the standard option.
The Kia Sportage has between a 3,373-3,834lb curb weight. Being a smaller SUV, the Sportage has quite a light curb weight on the road. The frame still produces a sturdy center of gravity to offer you some stability anytime you’re driving, but the AWD trim levels create a heavier disparity in weight. The AWD-using models have a curb weight going from 3,543 to 3,834 pounds and the FWD-equipped models curb weight is 3,373-3,664 pounds.
The Sportage ground clearance is between 7.1-8.3 inches. Despite listing slightly varying ground clearances in each trim level the Kia Sportage offers, the measurement will be impacted by the drivetrain. AWD models have the most clearance measuring 8.3in and the FWD trims ground clearance is 7.1 inches. So the task of configuring a special Sportage is very important but will do a tremendous job of making you comfortable.

How Much Can The 2023 Kia Sportage Tow? | Kia of South Austin
At a time when customer service seems hard to come by JD answered my questions and then provided insight on other factors that I hadn't thought to ask about. I left with a new Kia and a more positive outlook on buying a new car.
We've purchased 3 automobiles from Kia of South Austin. We've returned to them because they are knowledgeable, courteous, patient, and always willing to answer our questions. From the receptionist, sales representative, to the finance representative - ALL were helpful and friendly. We've not purchase a Certified Preowned Vehicle from them before (had always bought new). But, they had the Make, Model and 2023 auto we were looking for - with very low milege & in pristine condition. Paul Guerra (Product Specialist) and Andreii Yurko (Finance Manager) both earned Five Stars. We know we can trust Kia of South Austin!
Hector was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process with repairing my vehicle. For someone like myself who doesn’t know much cars, he was very clear and thorough in explaining what was wrong. Also all the ways they could assist me getting back on the road safely. I always have a great experience here and this time was nothing short of that. Thank you guys!
Excellent Service! Oil change was done on th he same day. They provided transportation to my work and back to the service dept instead on me waiting at th he shop.
The consultant greeted me at my vehicle within a minute of my arrival. He introduced himself and ask about my reason for being there. He took my information and directed me to the waiting area.
