Recent Arrival!
The 2023 Kia Sportage X-Line AWD is a boldly redesigned compact SUV that pushes past the boundaries of its segment, offering a compelling blend of audacious styling, expansive interior space, and a comprehensive suite of modern technology and safety features. Finished in a striking Dawning Red exterior with a sophisticated black interior featuring premium leatherette trim, this vehicle makes a statement on any road. It is designed for those who want a daily driver with a distinct attitude and the all-weather capability of Active All-Wheel Drive.
Performance and Mechanical Prowess
Under the hood, the Sportage X-Line is powered by a capable 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine with GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) and MPI (Multi-Point Injection), delivering 187 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 178 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. This powerplant is seamlessly paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that avoids the common "buzzy" character of continuously variable transmissions found in many competitors. This setup provides adequate power for daily commuting and highway driving, with a confident, solid feel.
The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system includes a center locking differential, enhancing traction and control in various conditions, from rain-slicked city streets to snowy backroads. It achieves an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 23 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway, with a combined rating of 25 MPG. With 8.3 inches of ground clearance, it is well-suited for light off-road excursions and ensures peace of mind when the weather turns sour.
Exterior Design and X-Line Exclusivity
The exterior of the 2023 Sportage X-Line is where its personality truly shines. It features exclusive X-Line body styling, which includes a unique black grille with metal-look accents, piano black bodyside cladding, and black wheel well trim that provides a rugged yet refined appearance. The vehicle rides on distinctive 19-inch gloss black alloy wheels fitted with 235/55R19 all-season tires, an exclusive feature for this trim level.
Further elevating its look are auto on/off projector beam LED headlamps with striking boomerang-style LED daytime running lights, a fixed rear window with a heated wiper park and defroster, and black power heated side mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators and power-folding functionality . High-utility roof rails in a ladder-style design are perfect for carrying extra gear for weekend adventures (p. 1).
Luxurious and High-Tech Interior
Inside, the Sportage X-Line offers a surprisingly upscale and spacious cabin experience that challenges near-luxury brands. Seating is generous for five passengers, with ample legroom in the rear. The front seats are heated bucket seats with premium leatherette trim, and the power-adjustable driver's seat includes power lumbar support for optimal comfort.
The dashboard is dominated by a modern, high-tech layout featuring a large digital instrument display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and Kia Connect. The system is user-friendly and includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, along with available wireless smartphone charging and a host of USB-C ports. The center console is thoughtfully designed with controls for the dual-zone automatic climate control, an electronic parking brake with auto hold, and a drive/terrain mode selector offering normal, sport, smart, snow, mud, and sand modes. The added panoramic sunroof and LED interior lighting create an inviting and open atmosphere.
Cargo space is a major highlight, offering a voluminous 39.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats, expanding to an impressive 74.1 cubic feet with the split-folding rear seats down. A smart power liftgate adds convenience for loading and unloading.

The Hybrid part is good; The Kia part is terrible
By Wild Bill | on Friday, July 18, 2025
We’ve owned our Sportage HEV for 2 years. In that two years, we’ve had the car at the dealership several times for things that fall under warranty….but what fun is it to have the following replaced on a garage-kept, hand washed, meticulously maintained car: door handle replacement, headlight replacement, rear hatch lock replacement. Now that the car has 30K miles, it’s time for another headlight replacement, another door handle replacement and the turbo is malfunctioning. The dealership assures us that everything is fine but I will not be purchasing another Kia. We love the hybrid feature. We do not enjoy the lackluster sound system and terrible build quality. Eight trips to the shop to have things fixed in the first 2 years isn’t my idea of a good vehicle.… - 1.0
Don’t buy.
By Katie | on Monday, October 27, 2025
I thought this was a great car for the first year but have had multiple problems now with it. It has broken down while driving and now won’t start. The check engine light pops on and the car shuts down when anything it cause the check engine light to come on. Very disappointed with this purchase.… - 2.0
Too much tech, too many difficulties
By Tina | on Wednesday, October 22, 2025
My first month of having the car my battery died and because the car has the automatic shut off, when my car shut off it wouldn’t restart when I went to press the gas. So my brand new car had to be towed out of the car pick up like at school. Second issue- have had the cylinder 2 misfire engine light is on. Now when I have low gas, my car doesn’t even want to start!! I tried taking it to Kia but they wants to keep the car for weeks to fix it. There is no pick up in this car. Struggles to accelerate. And frankly all the technology doesn’t work together. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR! Buy a Toyota…
