One of the most functional and comfortable cars to hit the road for 2012 is the Kia Sportage. Shoppers that want a utility vehicle without the clunk and clangor of a huge SUV should definitely check out the Sportage. It's a slick little crossover that can get the job done every time.
Carnival Kia, a widely favored Madison TN Kia dealership, has the Sportage and whole host of other great 2012 Kia models on the lot and in the showroom. Kia is a brand to be trust and Carnival Kia is friendly local Kia dealership. Together, the two are a perfect match!
The 2012 Kia Sportage is a compact crossover SUV that can now be found at our trusted Kia dealership serving Clarksville TN in four different trim levels: the base Sportage, the upgraded LX, the deluxe EX and the top-of-the-line SX.
Under the hood of every 2012 Sportage available to Madison TN Kia consumers is a four-cylinder engine. In the base, LX and EX versions, the engine is capable of delivering 176 hp and 168 lb/ft of torque, while the SX can generate 260 hp and 269 lb/ft of torque. This capable vehicle can tow up to 2,000 lbs.
Six-speed manual transmission is paired with the FWD base model, while electronically controlled six-speed Sportmatic® automatic transmission is offered in the other trims with FWD. DynaMax AWD full-time electronic-control on-demand transmission is optional for every Sportage, except for the base.
