Economical and great 2nd car utilizing Kia's compact SUV shares a car-type platform with the Hyundai Tucson from Kia's corporate parent. This vehicle is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic conditions and well worth seeing in person to test drive. The Sportage was Kia's first vehicle introduced in the U.S. This crossover SUV with two rows of seating for five passengers got a more aggressive redesign in 2005, and the 2007 Kia Sportage offers very few changes. Chief among them are chrome accents on the rear fascia and a new Sport Package for the LX trims, featuring a rear spoiler, fog lights, sporty instrument gauges, leather trim, and a mesh grille. The 2007 Sportage packs a lot of standard features at a price tag lower than many of its competitors', making it attractive to families. It's available with two engines. The 2.0-liter, 140-hp inline four comes in LX trims only, with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. Unfortunately, an automatic transmission isn't offered for the 4-cylinder four-wheel drive model. The 2.7-liter, 173-hp V6 is available in LX or fancier EX trims, with only the automatic transmission. All trims are offered in front-wheel or four-wheel drive. ABS, traction control, six airbags, and stability control are all standard, as are 16-inch tires, power features, cruise control, a rear wiper, roof rails, and a tailgate and rear window that open independently. EX trims add some luxury with a sunroof, leather trim, keyless entry, MP3 capability, and fog lights. Call to schedule an appointment to test drive @ 803.589.9134
