What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Sportage?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the entry point, while LX Nightsky adds more equipment and the EX and higher trims bring a more upscale feel. The EX also gains a standard panoramic sunroof, and the SX is the most feature-rich version.
• Powertrain: Most versions use a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with 181 horsepower, while the SX gets a turbocharged setup with 237 hp and stronger acceleration. Front-wheel drive is standard on the entry-level LX, and all-wheel drive is available or standard on higher grades.
• Safety package: The EX and SX include forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assistance. Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert is also included on those trims and on LX Nightsky, while the SX adds adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability.

Which 2022 Kia Sportage trim should I buy?

The 2022 Kia Sportage is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, LX Nightsky, EX, EX Premium S, and SX.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the most affordable way into the Sportage, but it is the least equipped and is best if you mainly want the core SUV package at the lowest price.
• LX Nightsky: This trim adds more appeal than the base LX and brings blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, making it a smarter value pick if you want extra safety equipment without moving too far up the range.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the standard panoramic sunroof and the key driver-assistance features, while keeping the Sportage’s easy-to-use tech and upscale feel.
• EX Premium S: This trim sits above the EX and is for buyers who want a more richly equipped version without jumping straight to the top model.
• SX: This is the most powerful and most luxurious version, with the turbocharged engine, standard AWD, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, wireless charging, and the premium audio system.

The safety package is strongest on the EX and SX, while LX Nightsky is the trim to watch if you want some of that safety content at a lower price.
