2027 Kia Sportage
2027 Kia
Sportage
The Sportage has a long history (dating back to 1995) of providing affordable and reliable transportation in the compact crossover segment. While it debuted as a body-on-frame SUV, it was redesigned onto a more forgiving unibody platform starting with its second generation. This best-selling Kia model makes its mark for model year 2027 with class-best cargo space and rear-seat legroom, which pairs with fuel economy as high as 33 mpg to make it a clear winner as a road-trip vehicle.
When you glance at the ’27 Sportage from the front, you’ll immediately notice its grinning fascia, which truly looks like a mouthful of teeth. It distinguishes the model from its competitors in the well-represented compact crossover class – and when you note its pricing and fuel economy, you’re sure to smile right back. Kia also makes traditional gas-electric and plug-in hybrid editions of the Sportage, although we devote this page to the strictly gas-burning version.
