2021 Kia Sportage EX Specs

The EX is our choice within the 2021 Sportage range. It strikes a good balance between price and available features. Unfortunately, the EX does not come with the more powerful turbocharged engine, but it makes up for the loss in power by offering some solid features. What you can expect when you buy an EX is dual-zone climate control, a handy power liftgate, push-button start, a ten-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and 18-inch alloy wheels in a machined finish. Heated seats are also part of the deal, while both the exterior and interior get the standard chrome styling for a more luxurious look.
