Nowhere is it written that the crossover SUV to be bland and boring, but it seems that the American roads and highways have taken a turn towards cross selling dullsville march forever upward. In response, Kia has decided to inject this segment with a much-needed boost of adrenaline with the completely redesigned Kia Sportage 2011, small crossover with sharp styling and handling life. 

With no small bit of irony, you can designate Kia Sportage last year as a prime example of a boring design. Underpowered plus public to see, the Sportage has little to offer exceed the low price and high value. But Kia Sportage 2011 is the Korean companys charge from the back of the pack to challenge the brands that sit at the head of the class. Thanks sculpted lines and sleek look of the interior, the 2011 Kia Sportage small crossover is one of the best looking models this year. 

In terms of engine performance, in 2011 Kia Sportage is still pretty average when it comes to the actual output, because the standard 2.4-liter inline-4 makes 176 horsepower. But when youre behind the wheel, the Sportage feels much more athletic and engaging than any other compact crossover in the class thanks to the taut suspension tuning. We expect the Sportage to get a sportier SX models when the turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 debut later in the model year with 270 hp. 

Weakness sporty handling Sportage is a journey that feels slightly stiff-legged. Rough pavement and washboard highways might cause some drivers to choose more comfortable crossovers, though the SX turbo will feature driver-adjustable dampers that might take the edge off the hard drive. The Sportage also gets points deducted for having less cargo capacity than some crossover front walk.
