All-New 2023 Kia Sportage Hits the Roads and Trails Of California

The all-new Sportage will take to the desert roads of California for its National Press Introduction.

Media outlets from around the country will have an opportunity to experience the Sportage both on- and off-road to fully understand its wide range of driving characteristics.

As Kia’s longest running nameplate which pioneered its segment, the Sportage underwent its most significant change to date with this fifth generation.

Developed as part of Kia’s new global brand transformation, “Movement that Inspires,” the all-new 2023 Sportage subcompact SUV delivers more of everything for today’s savvy, adventurous and eco-conscious consumers.

Significantly larger, more capable and powerful, and more fuel efficient, the fifth-generation model debuts a number of Sportage firsts including an available dual panoramic curved digital display and an exciting new variant that will literally take consumers to new heights.

The Sportage delivers something for everyone, with a diverse lineup and trim levels that include the LX, EX, SX, SX-Prestige and X-Line, while the all-new Sportage X-Pro and X-Pro Prestige trims allow drivers to venture further into nature with off-road ready features including all-terrain tires, among other elements.

To that end, journalists will drive the new Sportage X-Pro this week on a specially designed course built to demonstrate its rugged capabilities and off-road prowess. From side slopes to steep descents and deep ruts, the Sportage will tread a variety of obstacles and challenges.

The 2023 Sportage MSRP starts at $25,990 for the FWD LX model and tops out at $36,790 for the AWD X-Pro Prestige model. The destination charge is an additional $1,255.

The Sportage arrives in Kia showrooms this spring.
