“Driving up the hilly streets in downtown San Francisco we found the four-cylinder Sportage LX was fine as long as you pushed the gas pedal all the way to the floor and didn't mind listening to a high-revved four banger.” — New Car Test Drive
“The Sportage scores on the safety front by including standard four-wheel disc brakes, seat-mounted side-impact airbags for front occupants and front and rear head-protecting curtain airbags.” — Edmunds.com
“All controls are within easy reach of the driver; for both manual and automatic transmissions, the gear lever is located within easy reach on the center console.” — Cars.com
“If it is cargo you want to carry the Sportage delivers the goods.” — New Car Test Drive
“The stylish interior features quality materials and great ergonomics.” — Edmunds.com
“...offers generous interior space for passengers and cargo, a benefit of its long wheelbase. Its design also allows the doors to be wider than they might otherwise be for better access, especially in the rear seats.” — New Car Test Drive
