Kia has been known for years as the "value" brand of automobiles in the United States. This distinction has led many price-conscious SUV and CUV buyers to the brand, and many of them have chosen the Sportage. The Sportage is a compact crossover SUV built by the Korean automaker Kia Motors since 1993. The very first generation Sportage was developed with a Mazda Bongo engineering platform and featured a 4-cylinder and V6 model. The Sportage offered great safety features like a comprehensive airbag system and a smooth, comfortable ride that made it a favorite amongst Kia Sportage reviews. The 3rd generation Kia Sportage, (which brings us to present day) designed by Peter Schreyer, was awarded a "Top Safety Pick" from the IIHS and continues to garner praise from consumers and critics alike. Joe Myers Kia in Houston has a large inventory of new and used Kia Sportage compact SUVs for Houston area car buyers, so visit us today!

Sportage is completely redesigned for the 2011 model year with 3 Trim Levels:
