Kia is bringing the 2023 Sportage LX with High Tech Features

 In the past few years, the Kia Sportage has been one of the highly competitive compact SUV market leaders because of its well-rounded excellence. For 2023, Kia seeks to make the crossover more stylish and appealing to fuel-conscious car buyers by integrating a hybrid version. 

The all-new Kia Sportage LX version offers most of the features that make the gas-powered sibling a considerable success. It has dynamics ranging from an engaging driving experience to a comfortable and well-appointed interior. Additionally, the Sportage comes with an array of colors to cater to different drivers' specific preferences and needs.

Check out the detailed guide to the LX trim of the 2023 Kia Sportage to make the right buying decision. 

2023 Kia Sportage LX Performance

The 2023 Kia Sportage LX trim gets its power from a 1.6-liter turbo-four engine combined with an electric motor generating 226 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The powertrain is available with a 10-year or 100,000-mile warranty period, which is the best industry. 

The Sportage LX is equipped with the front-wheel-drive; however, it also gives all-wheel drive options. The all-wheel-drive (AWD) set-up is an intelligent system that monitors the traction and grip of wheels and distributes power between the rear and front axles to achieve optimal handling. 

2023 Kia Sportage LX Exterior

Coming towards the exterior, the new Kia Sportage LX is more modern and upscale than its predecessor. It utilizes styling cues from the Kia EV6, creating a futuristic and dynamic design language that is uniquely it's own. 

The SUV comes with a downward-sloping hood and a wide grille making the car look handsome and sleek from the front. Thanks to the distinctive alien-styled headlamps with boomerang-like daytime running lights, it is easily identifiable. It also includes deeply sculpted doors and pronounced fenders contributing to a muscular side profile. The eminent roof spoiler, full-width taillights and rear windshield add a more sporty touch to the appearance. 

Therefore, if you opt for the LX trim, you can expect to turn heads anywhere you go. 

2023 Kia Sportage LX Interior

The 2023 Kia Sportage LX interior features a chic and modern design. It offers an impressive fit and finishes with generous use of quality materials. Some stylish touches are seen throughout the cabin, including distinctive air vents, a two-tone color scheme, a center console with a rotary-shift knob, a push-button start, and other controls blending into an athletic bezel. 

The new 2023 Sportage offers plenty of legroom in both rows of seats. They are enough for even tall passengers to feel relaxed and comfortable. The Sportage LX provides 41.3 inches of legroom in the back row, which is the best in the class. 

Coming towards cargo capacity, you will not be disappointed. If you leave the 60/40 split-folding rear seats upright, you get 39.5 cubic feet of storage space at your disposal. Folding the seats down expands the storage space to about 74 cubic feet. 

2023 Kia Sportage LX Features

Very few compact SUVs propose a long list of standard features than the 2023 Kia Sportage. If you decide to buy the LX, you get 17-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, headlights and taillights, cloth upholstery, walk-away auto lock and dual-zone automatic climate control. 

The Sportage LX also delivers a great selection of tech features to make your trips more enjoyable and convenient. They include an 8-inch touch screen infotainment display, 12.3-inch driver-instrument cluster, Bluetooth, one USB port, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a six-speaker audio system. 

Additionally, drivers have access to a wide range of driver-assistance technologies that help to reduce accident risks. They consist of Automatic Emergency Braking, Automatic High beams, Forward Collision Alert, Pedestrian and Cyclist Monitoring, Lane-keeping assistance, Lane-following assistance, lane-departure alert, and driver-attention monitoring, rear parking sensors and rear-occupant alert.
