2005 Kia Sportage Review
"Kia introduces a new compact SUV for 2005 with standard curtain-side airbags. The '05 Sportage shares its car-type platform with the Hyundai Tucson produced by Kia's corporate parent. Sportage offers 4- or 6-cyl engines and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. LX and EX models are available. Base LXs come with a 140-hp 4-cyl and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. LX V6s and EXs come with a 173-hp V6 and automatic transmission only. All are available with AWD that lacks low-range gearing but has a dashboard switch that locks in a 50/50 front/rear torque split. ABS, traction control, and an antiskid system are standard. So are front side airbags and head-protecting curtain side airbags. An EX Luxury Package adds leather upholstery and heated front seats. Kia shares Hyundai's warranty of 5-years/60,000-mi. basic, 10/100,000 powertrain, and 5/unlimited roadside assistance. "
