Performance and Safety Features of the 2024 Kia Sportage at Your Dealer in Frederick, MD
Performance Features
The default powertrain on the Sportage is a 2.5L four-cylinder that offers 187 horsepower and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. A hybrid powertrain is also available, and this SUV comes with either front- or all-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive versions of this model get an estimated 25 miles per gallon on city streets and 32 miles per gallon on the highway. The all-wheel drive version gets slightly lower fuel efficiency.
A strong performer on the road, the Sportage also has off-roading capabilities. The all-wheel drive versions offer 8.3 inches of ground clearance. The X-Pro trim level comes with 17-inch rims, all-terrain tires, and a selection of drive modes. The Sportage can tow up to 2,500 pounds when equipped with a trailer brake controller.
High-Tech Safety Features
Driver-assistance technologies have come a long way, and the Sportage deploys many of the very latest features to help you pilot the vehicle safely. Two separate systems help your vehicle detect potential collisions and vehicles entering your blind spot and apply the brakes or move your car away from the approaching vehicle. Another assist that this SUV boasts includes monitor lane markers that help keep your vehicle centered in its lane.
Rear radar sensors tap the brakes if a vehicle or pedestrian is detected as you back out. A surround view monitor offers a bird’s-eye view of the area around the car, which is helpful when parking or maneuvering at low speeds. There’s even an onboard system that helps monitor the driver and sends an alert if it senses the driver’s attention has been reduced.
Headlights and Airbags
In addition to tech-forward safety features, LED headlights come standard on the Sportage, as do airbags for front passengers, rear passengers, and along the sides. There’s a rollover sensor, a child seat attachment, and an anti-lock braking system. Hill Start Assist Control adds a measure of safety when starting on a hill by helping to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. The brakes are applied for two seconds as you move your foot to the accelerator.
If you’re looking for a vehicle you can depend on that will help ensure your safety behind the wheel, look no further than the 2024 Kia Sportage. It’s equipped with a full suite of reliable features. When you’re ready to test drive the Sportage, come see us at DARCARS Kia of Frederick.
