More about Sportage’s standard safety features
All 2007 Sportage’s come with six airbags, placed at key positions throughout the vehicle.  These included full-length side curtains, dual front advanced, and dual side airbags.  That’s the feeling of security and peace of mind that comes standard with every new Sportage.

Airbags are just part of the safety features Kia has included on the Sportage.  Other Sportage safety features include advanced supplement restraint system (SRS), better stability, improved traction, and an available Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Unlike those dummies in the government crash tests, you can avoid crashes.  With Kia’s advanced safety features, you can better avoid accidents in the first place.  Improved stability comes thanks to Sportage’s Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which increases directional stability for better control by monitoring key vehicle functions such as brake-force pressure, speed, and direction.  ESC can help bring the vehicle back under control by reducing engine power and braking individual wheels accordingly.  As with all cars traction is also a key safety issue for the 4x4 and compact SUVs.  Sportage offers the TCS or Traction Control System, which detects tire spinning using speed sensors on each wheel.  Your Louisville Kia dealer will be happy to explain these and all of the safety features that helped Sportage earn the best crash test rating possible from the NCAP.

All of these safety features work together to make the Kia Sportage 4x4 and Sportage 4x2 one of the safest SUVs on the road.  Government crash tests agree as Sportage received the highest safety rating in all crash test categories.

Kia Sportage Engine
Kia new line of Sportage’s gives you more power and more choices.  If SUV fuel efficiency is your thing, you might go for the mpg friendly 4 cylinder at 27 miles per gallon.  If you’re more about horsepower, then the Sportage’s powerful 2.7-liter, 24-valve V6 cranks out 173 horses to get you there in confidence.  Still not just right for you?  Choose from 2WD or electronic-control on-demand 4WD and now you’ve got a Sportage geared to fit your lifestyle.  Whatever engine you choose, you’ll enjoy a smooth ride without sacrificing power and off-road capability. 

Sportmatic® transmission comes standard on all V6 models and gives you the choice between traditional automatic-mode and manual, sport-style shifting.  Just tap the gearshift up or down for a whole new shifting experience – that’s more Sport for your Sport Utility.

4WD versatility comes with available full-time electronic on-demand 4WD which provides improved on- and off-road traction to conquer any mud, mountain or muck you encounter in your 4x4 Sportage.  For more off-road capability the 4x4 Sportage and 4x2 Sportage have a generous 7.7-inch ground clearance plus a 29.5-degree approach angle and 28.7-degree departure angle to help maneuver steep, rough terrain.

To compliment all of this sporty capability, Kia smoothed out all the bumps in the road by fitting Sportage with an independent MacPherson-strut front suspension, dual-link rear suspension and front and rear stabilizer bars that combine to provide a remarkably civilized ride.  4-Wheel disc brakes give Sportage driver’s excellent stopping power and vehicle control.
