Thanks to a fun-to-drive nature, the 2012 Kia Sportage is a realistic alternative to other top small crossover SUVs on the market. Part of the appeal of this small crossover SUV is simply that it's such a dramatic departure from earlier versions, all of which were largely forgettable. This time around, the third-generation Sportage offers a near-ideal balance of style and substance, with an eye-catching look and a lively driving character that many of its competitors can't match. The 2012 Kia Sportage EX is powered by a 2.4-liter inline-4-cylinder engine that produces 176 hp and 168 pound-feet of torque. Features on the EX include power mirrors, CD player, Satellite radio, premium sound system, steering wheel audio controls, security system, traction control, stability control, back-up camera and multiple safety air bags.
