KIA Sportage LX
The design brief was simple. Create a vehicle that combines style and practicality. Be certain that it's as at home in the city as it is on a high-speed motorway, or an outback track. Include an exceptional list of features as standard. Remember that life is precious: build a vehicle that's not only rugged, but also offers a whole host of safety features.
The result is Kia's brilliant Sportage. The more you look into it, the more impressed you will be. It's easy to drive and easy to park. Perfect for picking up friends or escaping for the weekend. With its compact exterior, roomier interior and great all-round vision, it's hard to think of a better everyday car to drive.
For people with active lives, the Kia Sportage delivers all the individuality, driving enjoyment and go-anywhere freedom of a compact Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) with the versatility and space of a wagon. Whether you're in the country or the city, Sportage lets you fit as much into your car as you do into your life.
Sportage LX is powered by a 2.0 litre, 16-valve engine for the perfect blend of performance, flexibility and economy. It develops an impressive 104kW of power thanks to Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT), which automatically adjusts the duration of valve openings to boost responsiveness and to reduce emissions.
Sportage is equipped with four wheel independent suspension for predictable and safe handling in all road conditions. And when you want to leave the bitumen behind, it's nice to know you have the benefits of high ground clearance, underbody protective skid plates and rugged design to facilitate your escape.
Kia Sportage offers a range of safety features to protect you and your passengers, providing peace-of-mind at all times. The Sportage seatbelts have dual pre-tensioners and load limiters to reduce the risk of injury in a sudden stop. Sportage's high tensile frame is engineered to minimise the effect of impacts, while front airbags for the driver and passenger offer protection in the event of a collision. If an accident becomes unavoidable, doors automatically unlock to help passengers easily get out when the vehicle comes to rest. Better still, advanced brake systems may help you avoid an accident in the first place. The Sportage features ABS anti-lock braking to provide optimum braking and steering control in an emergency.
