Cars.com Names 2017 Kia Sportage “Best New Compact SUV” of 2017

According to Cars.com, the 2017 Kia Sportage is at the top of its segment thanks to its advanced technologies, premium features, and restyled look.

“With all of the improvements made for the 2017 model year, it’s hard to ignore the Sportage” said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning KMA. “Instead of bland utility, the Sportage combines distinctly European and sporty styling with an impressive level of craftsmanship and surprising features, all for an excellent value.
