Pros
The 2018 Sportage offers style, features, an excellent warranty, and expanded availability of high-tech safety equipment like autonomous emergency braking. Throw in upscale features like climate-controlled seats, a harman/kardon audio system and a turbocharged engine, and this budget SUV feels much more premium.
Cons
The new Honda CR-V offers more room and better fuel economy than the Sportage. If you need more space, especially a third row, the Kia Sorento might be a better bet. If you want even better fuel economy, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid might make sense.
What's New?
The base-model LX can now be equipped with blind-spot and rear-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, autonomous emergency braking and outside-mirror turn signals thanks to the new Technology Package. All that’s now standard on the EX, and the SX now gets an electronic parking brake with auto hold.
With last year’s redesign still fresh, the 2018 Kia Sportage gets a host of updates to keep it competitive with the likes of the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape and other compact- and subcompact-crossover SUVs. It all enhances an already compelling SUV, one that more than holds its own against its competition. It sports good value, a comfortable and roomy interior, and a long list of standard and available features, not to mention Kia’s excellent warranty. All-wheel drive is of course available, as is a powerful turbocharged 4-cylinder if you’re willing to sacrifice fuel economy. Now in its fourth generation, the Sportage is actually Kia’s longest-running nameplate, and proof of how far this Korean company has come in the last two decades.
Favorite Features
GLORIOUS KNOBS
The Kia Sportage has a touch-screen navigation system of course, but the volume, tuning, and the climate-control temperatures are set with knobs, while most other functions use actual buttons. Maybe we’re old-fashioned, but in our cars we prefer the tactile feedback of a button or knob over a touch-sensitive surface.
LUXURY AMENITIES, MAINSTREAM PRICE
The climate-controlled seats, heated steering wheel, premium harman/kardon audio system and power tailgate on the Kia Sportage were the exclusive purview of luxury cars not too long ago. That they’re all available in a mid-priced compact SUV proves you don’t need to spend premium money to get premium amenities.
Standard Features
The base Sportage LX model adds stain-resistant YES Essentials upholstery as standard equipment, which includes a 5-inch touch-screen display and rearview camera, 6-speaker AM/FM/CD player with USB input and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, drive-mode selector (Sport, Normal, Eco), and automatic headlights. The mid-level EX is an even better deal, especially since blind-spot detection, cross-traffic alert, power-folding outside mirrors with turn signals, and glossy interior trim were added to a standard-equipment list that includes a 7-inch touch-screen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, power driver’s seat, leather upholstery and dual-zone climate control. Standard on SX models this year is an electronic parking brake.
Engine & Transmission
The base 2.4-liter 4-cylinder offers up 181 horsepower, which is par for the course in this class. If you need more boost, literally, the turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder offers up 240 horsepower. Both engines power either the front or all four wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy isn’t the strongest selling point for the Sportage, whether you’re talking about the standard engine or the turbo. At best, FWD models earn ratings of 23-mpg city/30 highway, while a turbo AWD Sportage gets a middling 20/23. The Kia Sportage can tow up to 2,000 pounds.
2.4-liter inline-4
181 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
175 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 23/30 mpg (FWD, LX), 22/29 mpg (FWD, EX), 21/25 mpg (AWD)
2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4
240 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm (237 horsepower for AWD models)
260 lb-ft of torque @ 1,450-3,500 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 21/26 mpg (FWD), 20/23 mpg (AWD)

    You forgot to say you need to pump the brakes before taking off when the car is on in park

    Thanks for the video ! I have to do pads on a 2019 Sportage AWD with the normal (not electric) parking brake and was trying to remember what tools to bring and I probably would have forgotten my Phillips impact driver - maybe my regular Phillips screwdriver would have worked but I'll bring my impact. Maybe I'll loosen the bleeder screw and let the old fluid go into a drain pan as I push the Piston inward so I can refill with the master cylinder reservoir with some correct new fluid - not really needed but might help . Most of my GM and Ford's will self drain - I just half to keep a close watch on the deminishing level so I don't let it get too low and get air get into it . When I close the bleeder screw I obviously keep it verticle and tap on it a few times and make sure fluid is still coming out as I close the bleeder .
