update : 6000 miles-- Vehicle is fantastic, , gas mileage is far better than advertised. Several of our friends ( CRV, Rogue ) plan on trading for a sportage. We have owned a CRV/RAV/Rogue and now a Sportage. All I can tell you is that these three companies better change fast or else this sportage will bury them. Last fall we purchased a used 2014 sportage lx for my daughter, i love the handling and the ease of maintenance. The new 2017 is a knockout power punch for this company, yes we have the means to afford a 40k car but why ? My daughters power window broke on her 2014 with 48K on it and they fixed it for free, just can't beat the warranty . A few of our friends laughed at us, ( lexus, audi ) until they sat in it then took it for a drive, laugh no more. This is a cool vehicle. UPDATE: 20,000 miles. Absolutely no problems, we see more and more sportages on the road. Installed 4 snow tires this fall and its like a little snow tank. Highly recommend. UPDATE: 4/20/19-- 35,000--Emergency brakes stuck closed and rear wheel bearing failed--covered by warranty.

This has everything I was looking for (SUV, size, power, styling, tech, etc.). I like German makes, but for for this level of equipment you'll be spending north of $45,000. I like that this trim includes everything, no nickel and diming for options. Mine is Pacific Blue with the beige interior. I think the cool grey interior would be nice as well. Kia reliability is up there with the best in the latest surveys. Looking forward to a long ownership. Update: zero defects in the first year. Ride is a little stiff but last night I rode in a RAV4 and it was worse. Steering is nicely weighed and responsive. Transmission is excellent, always seems to be in the right gear. Love the low rpm torque pull in second and third gear. Al the tech stuff works great. Mileage could be better and the gas tank is small (15 gallons). Overall totally satisfied with my purchase. Defective spark plug (probably) caused burned valve and "internal engine damage". Replaced by KIA at no charge to me. Took 5 weeks to get new engine from Korea. Had underpowered Ford Fusion loaner the whole time. Glad to have my ride back. Still love the car. Disappointing gas mileage but I don't drive enough to worry about it. Never able to squeeze more than 14 gallons into tank when practically empty. I think the capacity is overstated.

2017 Kia Sportage SX AWD is amazing, after doing my homework, new Sportage offers best new car for price. Plenty of power when needed and gas mileage which was my main concern has not been much of an issue. One 600 mile drive on mostly cruise I got 27 MPG. Very luxurious interior with good placement of controls. Love the ventilated seats, heated steering. Everything I need with one exception, adaptive cruise control. Other than that all the safety features are included. We own a Kia Optima as well which we have loved but had roof noise which took 2 trips to the service dept. to repair. Sportage is much quieter and the moon roof is very large, very nice. Easy to get in and out of, plenty of back storage with seats forward or about the same size as my last Subaru Outback.

Updated review: I’ve had my 2017 KIA Sportage for 4+ years now and it has been highly dependable. In fact, I can honestly say that I’ve had no problems with it. Wish I could say the same for my former 2006 Mercedes E-class, Chevy Blazer and Ford Aerostar which ALL had multiple quality and reliability problems throughOut my ownership. The Sportage now represents my 3rd KIA and in 6 months I’m looking to trade it in for a Telluride.

Had a oil consumption test done on my Kia Sportage 2017, I’ve gone a 1000 mile it used 2/3 of a quart . Was told as far as Kia spec that’s normal. Having to add oil in , in between oil changes is not normal to me . This has had a effect on me getting looking for my next car, can’t say I would get another Kia.
