2017 Kia Sportage SX SX Turbo 2WD The 2017 Best of Awards were recently held at the North American International Auto Show by Cars.com. The website’s annual awards show showcases all-new or redesigned vehicles that excel in quality, innovation, and value. The all-new 2017 Kia Sportage, which is the fourth generation of the vehicle, was chosen as the Best New Compact SUV of 2017! Not only is the all-new 2017 Sportage an IIHS Top Safety Pick+, it offers a more contemporary design, spacious interior, and dynamic performance. “It's hard to overstate how far Kia has come in the last 15 years: The South Korean brand has steadily refined its lineup while adding features that wouldn't be out of place in a luxury vehicle. The redesigned 2017 Sportage compact SUV continues that trend with its distinctive styling, a roomy interior, easy-to-use technology and upscale available features,” said Patrick Olsen, Cars.com editor-in-chief. “The SUV segment is booming and compact SUVs are especially hot. That field is extremely competitive, but the new Sportage is well positioned to challenge them — and win.” Test drive the 2017 Kia Sportage at DELLA Kia today! "2017 Sportage Named."
