Design

Since the design of the EX is the first thing you see as you are walking up to it, that’s where  we will begin. This version can be coated in head-turning shades like Sapphire Blue, Glacial White Pearl, and Everlasting Silver. No matter which you choose, you won’t be blending in as you go from one end of New Braunfels to the other! At the front sits the Gloss Black grille with Silver accent trim and on each side are LED headlights for a clear view when traversing dimly lit roads. You’ll also be able to utilize the low profile Silver roof rails when you’d like to take some more gear to your next trip with the family. Lastly, you can expect to get noticed from the moment you leave your driveway, thanks to the 18-inch alloy wheels with a machined finish.

Technology

Do you want to learn about some of the tech features that will keep you plugged in when you’re cruising around in the 2023 EX? Well, let’s take a look! There is a 12.3-inch touchscreen¹ that comes with Apple CarPlay®² and Android Auto™³ capability that lets you use apps, messages, and contacts with a tap or two. Right ahead of you sits a 12.2-inch Instrument Display, which lets you know which drive mode you’re currently in and when it’s time to fill up your gas tank. This edition of the Sportage also includes a Navigation⁴ system that lets you quickly get back on track if you take a wrong turn. Plus, as you are making the drive toward Landa Park, you can call your friends to chat if you choose without taking your hands off of the steering wheel, courtesy of standard Bluetooth®⁵ connectivity.

Capabilities

Perhaps what you’ve most been anticipating is the performance of the Kia Sportage EX. Under its hood is a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that pumps out 187 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque.
