2025 Kia Sportage EX Overview near San Marcos, TX
2025 Kia Sportage shown above with optional equipment.
There are seven trim levels in the 2025 Kia Sportage lineup, and this vast selection can make picking your best match a tedious task. To help streamline the process, we recommend taking the helm of the EX edition at World Car Kia New Braunfels. This model is just a step above the base trim, which means you’ll have plenty of premier advancements that come at an affordable cost. Before you stop by our dealership near San Marcos for the grand tour, use our Finance Application to lay the framework for your agreement.
Exterior
The Sportage EX blazes a trail down I-35 with its outer shell that blends form and function. This is proven by the 18-inch wheels, which come in a Matte-Gray finish and supply a 7.1-inch ground clearance. With these components, you’ll be able to clear rocky terrain and ford through shallow waters with the utmost confidence. Pair that with all-season tires, and you’ll have versatility right at your fingertips no matter what the conditions are like outside. Up front, the LED projector headlights burst through darkness with a polished luminance to make sure you always know what’s ahead. Do you plan on taking your excursions off the beaten path? The front and rear skid plates will protect your powertrain and fuel tank from damage.
Performance
If the exterior of the 2025 Kia Sportage EX didn’t already capture envious gazes from fellow motorists, the robust strength emanating from its core certainly will. You’ll have a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that ignites with 187 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque while heading to Rio Vista Park. This system works side by side with an 8-speed automatic transmission, so you can access high-gear acceleration and 25/32/28 MPG city/hwy/combined1 simultaneously. Pair that with a 14.3-gallon gas tank, and you won’t experience constant interruptions while heading to your destination. Are you someone who enjoys customizing your driving dynamics on the fly? Normal, Smart, and Sport modes deliver their own respective advantages, and can be accessed with the push of a button.
Technology
Monotony can set in on extended travels, and the 2025 Sportage EX works to mitigate that issue with its host of immersive technology features. From the moment you bring the car to life, the 12.3-inch touchscreen2 will glow to life to provide access to your applications, music, messages, and more. This display also comes with onboard navigation, so you can drop a pin on your destination’s coordinates to avoid traffic through turn-by-turn directions. Before you take off from the starting line, turn up the volume on the 6-speaker sound system to envelope yourself in a studio-centric listening experience. To seal the deal, forgetting your USB cord won’t prevent you from maintaining your smartphone’s battery, as this SUV showcases a wireless charging system3. If this model sounds like it’s in your wheelhouse, schedule a test drive today!

5 Star Review
“ The staff there are wonderful and really work hard to make sure that they meet your needs. Jay helped us through the whole experience and was always positive and willing to answer all of our questions at any time of the day. My fiance and I had very specific needs for our vehicle and Jay worked with us through everything to make sure we found the car we both wanted and needed that fit our specifications. Unlike certain dealers in the area, never once did we feel pressured to buy immediately, Jay made sure that what we were looking at was exactly what we wanted. He made sure that we were comfortable with the whole car buying experience and were 100% satisfied with what we picked out. Thank you Jay and World Car! You definitely have our business any time we need a new car! ”

Great Experience
“ Great experience, not too pushy. Laura is great at her job. She showed us what we came for then found the car for our budget. Win win. Thank you Laura! ”
Thank you!
“ Rudy is the friendliest, kindest guy you could meet when shopping for a car. I could write a whole essay about how nice and thoughtful he is, but the most important thing is that he listens to you. He will listen to you when you tell him what you need and want and he will do his best for you. I met him through my dad when I bought my first car. He knew I was already in love with the Soul, but he made sure I didn't leave without being completely informed on all its features. I referred my fiance Brandon to him a year later when he was replacing his used car. Rudy helped him through the process of buying and familiarizing him with the Optima that Brandon had chosen. A month didn't even pass before we got a referral check from him in the mail. Whether you know what you want already or not - Rudy can help you out. I highly recommend speaking to him if you stop by. And if he's reading this, thank you again for everything! ”
