All-New 2022 Kia Sportage at Ken Ganley Kia

When you crave the excitement that a stylish crossover can bring, Ken Ganley Kia of Medina, OH, would like to recommend the 2022 Kia Sportage. This compact catches attention with its unique design while taking you on-road adventures in the city and the country.

On the Road

Driving your explorations in the 2022 Kia Sportage is the standard 2.4 L four-cylinder and a six-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic® that generates up to 181 hp and 175 lb.-ft. of torque. Also available is a 2.0 L turbocharged in-line four-cylinder that revs up to 240 hp and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. Define your drive by choosing such Drive Select Modes as ECO to improve fuel efficiency, SPORT to increase the fun, or NORMAL to balance efficiency with assertiveness. Fuel-saving front-wheel drive is standard but all-wheel drive is also available when you want maximum traction.

You can rely on engineering technologies such as Electronic Stability Control and the Traction Control System to optimize your road grip and directional stability. To improve rigidity, the body is forged from high-tensile strength steel alloys. Off-road, you can engage Downhill Brake Control, which maintains a constant speed on slopes or slippery surfaces by individually applying the brakes.

Even when you’re hands are full, the available Smart Power Liftgate opens automatically when it senses your smart key fob, enabling you to load or unload the cargo area. When you need more room in the rear, you can drop the 60/40 split-folding rear seats and adjusted the dual-level cargo floor. You can secure more valuable items in the removable tray under the main trunk level.

Taking Technology with You

You can control much of the technology around you using the 8-inch touchscreen of the UVO Link system. Voice commands are also available when you want to keep your hands on the wheel. Support for Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Integrate your compatible smartphone so that you can make calls, listen to text messages, and access certain apps while you’re on the highway.

When you want to power up your personal device, forget about cables and parts, and instead lay it on the available wireless phone charging tray. Delivering top-quality audio is the Harman Kardon® Premium Surround Sound System that belts out 320 W on eight speakers.

Download the Kia Access app to your smartphone and you can remotely lock or unlock the doors, start the engine to activate climate control, or look for your car in a crowded locked after you parked it.

Keeping You Safe

You’ll tackle any road challenge with renewed confidence when you’re protected by the following safety assists:

• Blind Spot Collision Warning lets you know of incursions into your blind zone to make lane changes easier.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection tells you if you are about to hit something in front of you and, in some cases, help apply braking to prevent an accident.
• High Beam Assist automatically switches from high beams to low beams when it detects the approach of oncoming vehicles at night.
• Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go maintains a safe distance between you and the next vehicle by automatically adjusting your speed based on current traffic conditions.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning tells you if any vehicles are trying to cross your reverse path as you back up.
• Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Departure Warning let you know if you start drifting across the highway lanes without engaging a turn signal and can adjust steering to keep you on the right path.
• Driver attention Warning can detect if you are becoming drowsy or inattentive and prompt you to wake up with an audiovisual signal.
