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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from LX to SX, and the higher trims bring a more upscale feel, more equipment, and stronger safety coverage. The base trim is the one most likely to leave you wanting more features.
• Powertrain: Most versions use a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with 181 horsepower, while the SX adds a turbocharged engine with 237 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. The turbo model is the one to seek if you want the quickest and most energetic version.
• Safety package: EX and SX trims 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.
• Infotainment: You get an 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The SX adds UVO Intelligence connected services, satellite radio, wireless smartphone charging, and an 8-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: No fuel-consumption figure is stated in the provided data.

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 entry point, so it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Sportage, but it is also the trim most likely to feel light on equipment compared with the others.
• LX Nightsky: This trim adds a more appealing feature mix than the base model and brings blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, making it a smarter value pick if you want more confidence features without jumping too far up the range.
• EX: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds the core safety suite, wireless smartphone charging, and a standard panoramic sunroof for 2022.
• EX Premium S: This trim sits above the EX and is the right step if you want a more upscale feel and more equipment without going all the way to the top model.
• SX: This is the most desirable trim if you want the turbocharged engine, standard AWD, the premium audio system, and the fullest equipment list.

The safety-package trims are EX, SX, and LX Nightsky, while the base LX is the one with the biggest feature gaps.
