experiences.
To ensure that the 2015 Kia Sportage exceeds the
highest standards of design, technology and quality,
Peter Schreyer — one of the world’s top 3 automotive
designers — thoroughly oversees every aspect in its
design direction. For Schreyer, each element should
bear the ‘absolute purity’ in order to create the design
as a whole. The ‘simplicity’ philosophy is at the core of
Kia’s creative language.

Presenting the ideal compact crossover.
With a combination of the latest available amenities, outstanding performance
and advanced safety systems, the Kia Sportage is the ideal compact crossover.
For exceptional comfort and convenience, available features include air-cooled
front seats, a panoramic sunroof, UVO infotainment system, and multimedia
interface with navigation.1 Sportage’s performance is equally impressive thanks
to the SX model’s 260-horsepower turbocharged 2.0L Gasoline Direct Injection
(GDI) 4-cylinder engine, and for your peace of mind, Sportage is equipped with
a wide range of safety systems, including a Traction Control System (TCS)
and Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
SOLID PERFORMANCE
Sportage LX and EX models are now equipped
with a direct-injected 2.4-litre (GDI) engine
that provides outstanding acceleration and fuel
efficiency. SX models pack the driving punch of
a turbocharged 2.0-litre gasoline direct injection
(GDI) 4-cylinder rated at an impressive
260 horsepower.
SMOOTH, PRECISE HANDLING
For smooth performance, a four-wheel
independent suspension features front
MacPherson struts and a rear multi-link
design. All Sportage models are equipped
with dynamic dampers, providing a
remarkably smooth ride and agile handling.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY
An available in-dash navigation system1
with rearview camera lets you make
more efficient use of your driving time.
Sportage is also available with a back-up
warning system that helps detect objects
you might not see behind your vehicle.

power-adjustable driver’s seat on EX and SX and available leather

Panoramic sunroof. The available panoramic sunroof operates with tilt and slide
efficiency, while featuring built-in safety mechanisms to prevent wandering hands
from getting trapped.
60/40 EASY-FOLD REAR SEAT. The Sportage doesn’t just provide ample room for you
to stow your gear, but thanks to 60:40 split folding rear seats, you can carry luggage of
all shapes and sizes.
HEATED AND COOLED SEATS. Standard heated front
seats and available heated rear seats help ensure
comfortable driving in cold weather. Enjoy optimal
comfort in warm weather with available air-cooled

Dynamic Performance.
Sportage’s available 6-speed Sportmatic automatic transmission offers you the choice
of fully automatic mode or clutch-free manual shifting. Couple this with the available
260-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine for an exhilirating driving experience.
Modern driving demands performance with efficiency,
and the Sportage delivers on both.
Sportage LX and EX have strong acceleration thanks
to their 182-horsepower 2.4L Gasoline Direct Injection
(GDI) engine. Sportage SX, with a turbocharged
260-horsepower 2.0L GDI inline 4-cylinder engine,
delivers even more driving excitement. A compact
design and four-wheel independent suspension
provide sporty handling and a remarkably smooth
and comfortable ride. Go ahead, the world is
yours to discover.
POWER AND EFFICIENCY
Both Sportage engines employ
Dual Cam Variable Valve Timing
(CVVT) that automatically adjusts
valve timing to provide increased
power, reduce exhaust emissions
and enhance fuel efficiency.
SPORTMATIC TRANSMISSION
The available 6-speed Sportmatic
transmission provides smooth, virtually
seamless shifting. It allows you to
choose fully automatic mode or, for a
sportier driving experience, clutch-free
manual shifting.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
Sportage has front-wheel or available
DynamaxTM all-wheel drive. The AWD
system uses electronic sensors to monitor
road conditions, and then, for enhanced
traction and control, helps to distribute
power to the appropriate wheels.

Simply connected.
What could be simpler than using your voice or a touch screen to control
the onboard navigation and entertainment systems on your new
Sportage?1 EX and SX models are available with Kia’s multimedia interface,
combining a dynamic display and brilliant graphics with touch screen
gestures and speech recognition technology for precise control of multiple
systems and functions.
TOUCH-SCREEN TECHNOLOGY
A bright, LCD touch screen features smartphone-like controls that respond
with a touch of your finger.
MEDIA AND MUSIC INTEGRATION
The interface provides hands-free connectivity for your Bluetooth®5-enabled
cell phone and supports digital music playback from your MP3 player or USBconnected music sources.
REARVIEW CAMERA DISPLAY 2
When you shift into reverse, the multimedia interface automatically displays
a high-resolution image from the vehicle’s rearview camera. Like an extra
set of eyes, it shows you what you might not see in the rearview mirror or
by looking over your shoulder.
ONBOARD NAVIGATION1
Sportage’s available onboard navigation system is also fully integrated with
the multimedia interface. Call-up a destination, find a point of interest or
type in an address on the touch screen and Sportage will take you there.

Delivering a safe ride.
Advanced safety systems are designed to help give you
peace of mind every time you drive. Each one is engineered
to help you maintain control, even in challenging road
conditions and in some emergency situations. These safety
systems are designed to function automatically, leaving you
free to focus on the road ahead.
PREPARED FOR THE UNEXPECTED. Improved interior cabin
safety is delivered through the use of high tensile strength
steel reinforcing the front, rear and sides, oversized bumper
beams, a ringed structure at the centre pillar area, and a
chassis design that disperses impact along a number of
different paths.
AIRBAG & SEAT BELT SENSORS
An advanced sensor system manages six airbags by monitoring the severity of
an impact, presence of passengers and seat belt use, and then controls airbag
inflation accordingly.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) monitors
Sportage’s response to your throttle,
brake and steering inputs in tight corners
and evasive-manoeuvre situations. If and
when input and response are out of sync,
ESC briefly takes over to restore stability
through precise brake and engine-control
interventions.
TRACTION CONTROL
Sportage’s standard Traction
Control System (TCS) senses
wheel spin during acceleration
and uses engine-torque
reduction to slow the spinning
wheel(s) and transfer torque
to the wheels that have the
most traction.
BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM
If the Brake Assist System
(BAS) detects emergency
braking, based on how
quickly you step on the
brake pedal, it instantly
applies full braking force,
which helps shorten your
overall stopping distance.
VEHICLE STABILITY
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM2
The Vehicle Stability
Management system (VSM)
adds steering direction control
capability, assisting when
appropriate to further stabilize
the vehicle. It helps you regain
control and return the vehicle
to its intended path.
HILL ASSIST CONTROL
To help keep you from rolling
backward when starting off on a
steep hill, Hill Assist Control (HAC)
automatically maintains braking
pressure for up to two seconds
after you take your foot off
the brake pedal – enough time
for engine power to move
you forward.
DOWNHILL BRAKE
CONTROL
When descending a steep
slope, the Downhill Brake
Control (DBC) system
automatically maintains a
steady 8 km/h forward speed
without the need for you to
step on the accelerator or
brake pedals.
FRONT ACTIVE
HEADRESTS
In the event of certain
rear collisions, Sportage’s
active front headrests
move forward, helping to
reduce the likelihood of
whiplash injuries.
REINFORCED BODY
The side doors on Sportage are
reinforced with steel beams to
help absorb impact energy and
deflect it away from passengers.
The A and B pillars (front and
middle support pillars) are also
reinforced to help strengthen
the body structure.
LATCH SYSTEM
The standardized LATCH
(Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) system makes
it easier to securely install
a compatible child seat
in any of the three rear
seating positions.

Starting with the 2015 model year, Natural Resources Canada in conjunction with the automotive manufacturers, have introduced a new testing procedure that will result in higher fuel
consumption ratings that are more representative of everyday driving. Kia Canada is one of the first automotive manufacturers to implement the new testing practice and would like
to ensure you fully understand the difference. The new procedure incorporates 3 additional test cycles that account for air conditioner usage, cold temperature operation, and higher
speeds with more rapid acceleration and braking.
