Performance & Capability

This engine is paired with a smooth-shifting 8-Speed Automatic transmission and Front Wheel Drive, delivering a balanced combination of responsive acceleration and quiet highway cruising. Drivers can tailor throttle and transmission feel using the driver selectable drivetrain mode to suit personal driving preferences.
Built on a four-wheel independent suspension featuring a front strut design and a multi-link rear setup, the Sportage absorbs road imperfections while maintaining stable, composed handling. Gas-pressurized shock absorbers and front and rear anti-roll bars add to the refined ride quality, while four-wheel disc brakes with ABS ensure dependable stopping power. Efficiency remains a key highlight, with an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 25 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway.
