AWD System

Upon release, the 2.4L inline 4-cylinder engine could be upgraded to Dynamax All-Wheel Drive. However, our in-stock used Sportage models are AWD anyway.

Wheels

Headlights and Roof Rails

The headlights are reminiscent of those of the performance-focused Stinger, especially when equipped with LED technology on the SX Turbo, which also receives a standard panoramic sunroof and metal-look skid plates. Roof rails are standard on the S trim and higher.
