Whether you are dropping the kids off at school or heading out for a morning of errands, this crossover provides the refined presence and practical utility required for a busy lifestyle.

The Sportage has long been recognized for its ability to bridge the gap between a compact footprint and a spacious interior, making it a favorite for those who appreciate the community-oriented atmosphere of Bartlett, TN. Its design is tailored for the driver who needs a vehicle capable of transitioning from the grocery store run to a formal dinner without missing a beat. With its clean lines and confident stance, this vehicle fits perfectly into the well-maintained driveways and tree-lined streets that define our local suburban landscape.

Choosing a pre-owned vehicle is about finding a machine that matches your rhythm.

From its intuitive layout to its robust mechanical foundation, every element of this vehicle is geared toward making your time on the road more enjoyable and efficient.

Dynamic Performance and All-Weather Confidence

Under the hood, this 2020 Kia Sportage LX is powered by a Regular Unleaded I-4 2.4 L/144 engine, specifically the Theta II 2.4L I-4 gasoline direct injection power plant. This engine features an Aluminum engine block and cylinder head, utilizing a DOHC, D-CVVT variable valve control system to optimize performance. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission featuring Overdrive and Selectable mode transmission settings, the Sportage delivers a smooth and responsive driving experience that is well-suited for the varied terrain found throughout the rolling hills of Germantown, TN.

One of the standout mechanical features of this specific model is the DYNAMAX automatic full-time AWD system. This All-Wheel Drive configuration, supported by an Electronic transfer case shift and Permanent locking hub control, ensures that you maintain traction and stability even when the West Tennessee weather turns unpredictable. Whether you are navigating a sudden summer downpour or dealing with slick winter roads, the All-speed ABS and driveline traction control work in tandem with the Electronic stability control system to keep you firmly planted.

The ride quality is further enhanced by a sophisticated suspension setup, including an Independent front suspension with Strut front suspension architecture and a Multi-link rear suspension featuring Independent rear suspension components. This Standard ride suspension is tuned to absorb the imperfections of the road, providing a composed feel during long stretches on the interstate or while navigating the suburban streets of our local communities. With Speed sensitive power steering and Gas-pressurized shock absorbers, the Sportage offers a level of maneuverability and comfort that makes every journey feel shorter.

Seamless Technology and Connectivity

In todays connected world, your vehicle needs to act as an extension of your digital life. The 2020 Kia Sportage LX comes equipped with a Primary monitor touchscreen measuring in at a generous 8 inch primary display. This interface serves as the hub for your media and communication, featuring Smart device integration through Apple CarPlay & Android Auto smart device mirroring. This allows you to access your favorite navigation apps, music libraries, and contacts directly through the vehicle's interface, ensuring you stay connected while keeping your focus on the road ahead.

For those who prioritize ease of use, the Voice activated audio controls and Steering wheel mounted audio controls allow you to manage your environment without taking your hands off the wheel. Whether you are adjusting the volume on the 6 speakers or switching between tracks via Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming, the system is designed for intuitive operation. The inclusion of Handsfree Bluetooth® handsfree wireless device connectivity makes it simple to take important calls during your morning drive through Cordova, TN, ensuring you never miss a beat while maintaining safety.

The technology suite is rounded out by practical features such as an Analog instrumentation display that includes a Redundant digital speedometer and a Trip computer to track your efficiency and range. An Exterior temperature display keeps you informed of changing conditions, while the 1 USB port and Auxiliary Audio Input provide multiple ways to keep your devices charged and integrated. This combination of high-tech mirroring and traditional tactile controls creates a user-friendly environment for drivers of all generations.

Refined Comfort and Interior Versatility

The interior of this Sportage is finished in a sophisticated Black color scheme, featuring Cloth front seat upholstery with YES Essentials fabric. This specialized material is designed to be durable and easy to clean, making it an excellent choice for families who frequent the parks and recreational facilities in Collierville, TN. The cabin layout is centered around Bucket front seats, with the driver benefiting from Manual driver seat controls that include height adjustment and reclining functions to find the perfect driving position.

Passenger comfort is a priority, as evidenced by the 60-40 folding rear seats that offer Manual reclining rear seats for those in the second row. The inclusion of Rear under seat climate control ducts and Rear console climate control ducts ensures that everyone stays comfortable, regardless of the season. For cargo needs, the Multi-level cargo floor and Carpet cargo area floor provide a versatile space for sports equipment, groceries, or luggage, while Cargo tie downs and a Cargo area light add a layer of practical convenience for evening errands.

The cabin is also packed with thoughtful details like 3 12V power outlets for charging various electronics and Covered floor console storage for keeping valuables out of sight. The Leatherette shifter boot and Metal-look interior accents provide a touch of class to the manual climate control environment. With Power first-row windows and Power second-row windows featuring a driver one-touch down function, managing the airflow and atmosphere within the vehicle is effortless for everyone on board.

Comprehensive Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is at the forefront of the Sportage design philosophy. This model is equipped with a suite of advanced driver assistance technologies, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-Ped (FCA-Ped), which provides Front Collision Mitigation and Pedestrian detection. This system acts as an extra set of eyes, helping to prevent or lessen the impact of potential front-end collisions. Additionally, the Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Lane Departure Warning systems work to ensure you stay centered in your lane during long commutes or highway travel.

The vehicle is built with a robust safety cage and features a total of 6 airbags, including Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags and Seat mounted side impact driver and passenger airbags. An Airbag occupancy sensor ensures that the systems deploy appropriately based on the passengers present. For those with young children, the Manual rear child safety door locks and Child Safety Locks provide necessary security, while the 3-point seatbelt system at all positions ensures every occupant is properly restrained.

Maneuvering in tight parking lots is made simple with the Back-Up Camera, which provides a clear view of the area behind the vehicle on the 8-inch screen. The braking system is equally advanced, featuring 4-wheel disc brakes with 4-wheel antilock (ABS) brakes and Brake assist. These systems ensure maximum stopping power and control during emergency situations. Furthermore, the Driver Attention Warning (DAW) monitor helps identify signs of fatigue, suggesting a break when it detects patterns of drowsy or inattentive driving.

Elegant Exterior and Purposeful Design

The exterior of this Sportage is finished in a striking Clear White, a non-metallic paint that highlights the vehicle's modern contours and athletic proportions. The front end is defined by a Black grille with chrome surround and Projector beam headlights with Auto on/off headlight control. The addition of LED daytime running lights and Front fog lights not only improves visibility in various lighting conditions but also gives the vehicle a distinct and premium appearance on the road.

This LX trim rides on 17 x 7-inch machined aluminum wheels wrapped in P225/60HR17 AS BSW all-season tires, providing a perfect blend of style and functional performance. The Body-colored front and rear bumpers and Body-colored door mirrors create a cohesive, streamlined look, while the Rear lip spoiler adds a hint of sportiness to the rear profile. Deep tinted windows provide privacy for passengers and help keep the interior cool during the hot Tennessee summers.

Functional exterior features abound, such as the Heated rear wiper park area which helps clear ice and snow from the rear blade during winter months. The Power door mirrors and Liftgate rear cargo door are designed for ease of use, while the Compact spare tire with steel wheel is tucked away under the cargo floor for emergencies. Every detail, from the Chrome side window trim to the Black wheel well trim, has been chosen to enhance the Sportage's rugged yet refined aesthetic.
