2018 Kia Sportage Interior Seating and Storage Space
Not every car driver wants a full-sized SUV that can be too big with poor handling, and an outrageous price. But some people still want more out of a car than the average compact can provide. A small trunk space and cramped interior isn’t enough. A lot of drivers need an in between, a compromise. For these drivers the answer is the compact SUV.
Compact SUVs offer far more engine power as well as space for both seating and storage compared to a compact car. On the other end, they also provide far better fuel economy and maneuverability on the road compared to a full-sized SUV. The 2018 Kia Sportage crossover model makes it apparent how appealing compact SUVs can be. But, with its reduced size, how much exactly can the 2018 Kia Sportage carry?
2018 Kia Sportage Performance and Engine Specs
With its sporty and streamlined design, the 2018 Kia Sportage still produces a lot of power. The 2018 Sportage houses an impressive 2.4 L engine that even some larger SUV models lack. This gives the baseline 2018 Sportage 181 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque, which is incredibly productive giving the Sportage’s reduced size and weight. As for fuel economy, the compact Sportage has a respectable MPG of 23 and 30 in the city and highway respectively.
2018 Kia Sportage Carrying and Cargo Capacity
With the 2018 Sportage packing that much power, how much space is there to load up in its manageable interior? With all 5 of the passenger seats filled up you can fit up to 30.7 cu. ft. of space in the trunk. However, with the second row collapsed, your maximum amount of storage room balloons up to 60.1 cu. ft. Despite its outward appearance, the 2018 Kia Sportage can still hold its own in terms of power and storage space.
