The general consensus among critics is that crossovers aren't all that sporty. By definition, a crossover is more car-like than its thoroughbred SUV siblings, but the 2015 Kia Sportage straddles the line between straight-laced SUV and button-down crossover driving dynamics. It's just one of the many reasons this small crossover stands out in its increasingly crowded segment.
As its name suggests, the Sportage is focused on performance in a way that other crossover aren't. Its nimbleness can be attributed to its supple yet strong sport-tuned suspension, which makes for an engaging, surefooted ride.
Recently, the experts at Autotrader took the Sportage for a spin, and they report all of their findings in the video review below. If you're interested in reviewing the Sportage for yourself, feel free to drop by the showroom here at DCH Kia of Temecula for the keys to any of our 2015 models and a test drive to put all of these Kia compliments in a real-world context.
