2022 Sportage Exterior
Kia has been designing some pretty good-looking cars in recent years - just take a look at the Stinger. The 2022 Kia Sportage looks the same as the previous year model, but that's not a bad thing. We love its sharp front nose, and the side profile is a clean sweep that ends off in a neatly packaged rear end, wrapping up the whole package in a concise way. However, the look of the Sportage does vary quite significantly depending on the trim level. The base model features 17-inch alloy wheels, projector headlights with LED daytime running lights, and a tinted windshield and rear spoiler. The Nightfall Edition trim adds dark gray 18-inch wheels and black-out treatment for exterior styling elements such as the grille, roof rails, sill moldings, skid plates, and bumper garnish, as well as power-folding exterior mirrors incorporating the turn signals and a panoramic sunroof with power sunshade. The EX brings 18-inch machine-finished wheels to the table and gloss black trim with chrome garnish for the foglight surrounds, as well as getting a panoramic sunroof as well as standard from this year. The SX Turbo gets larger 19-inch wheels, LED headlights and taillights, and dual-exit exhausts in chrome.

Dimensions
The 2022 Kia Sportage is classified as a compact crossover SUV and measures in with a total length of 176.4 inches on a 105.1-inch wheelbase. The width is 73 inches. Height without the roof rails is 64.4 inches for front-wheel-drive models and 64.8 inches for AWD iterations while roof rails add 0.4 inches to the total. Ground clearance for the FWD models is 6.4, and AWD cars get a handy 6.8 inches of clearance. That's enough to clear most suburban obstacles. Not that it's meant to be taken off-road, but AWD models plate up the best approach and departure angles at 28 and 24.6 degrees, respectively. The lightest Sportage models are the lower three trims in FWD guise, which come in at a curb weight of 3,305 lbs each. The AWD version weighs 3,448 lbs for the lower three trims, while the most substantial variation is the Turbo, which weighs in at a minimum of 3,765 pounds.

Exterior Colors
The 2022 Kia Sportage is a good looking car from any angle, and it is one of the reasons we like it, so it would make sense to offer the vehicle with a range of tasty exterior paint colors, right? Well, Kia has done a pretty good job of supplying the Sportage with colors that will highlight its bold exterior styling. All trims are offered with the same six color options, all bringing their shine to the Sportage. These are Sparkling Silver, Steel Gray, Pacific Blue, Snow White Pearl, Black Cherry, and Hyper Red, the latter three costing $395 extra. Last year's Clear White and Burnished Copper are no longer available.
