2021 Kia Sportage vs 2020 Kia Sportage - Denver Area
2021 Kia Sportage Overview
Kia makes some of the most popular SUVs on the road. The Sportage is a smaller crossover that fits into the Kia lineup between the compact Seltos and the three-row Sportage. The current generation-the fourth-was introduced for the 2017 model year. That made the 2020 Kia Sportage the fourth iteration, and it brought with it redesigned front and rear ends and a standard 8-inch infotainment touchscreen. The 2021 Kia Sportage is now available at Arapahoe Kia, and it brings with it two new appearance packages: Nightfall and Nightfall Premium. These replace the Sunroof and Premium options that had been available, and these new options add a myriad of blacked-out exterior enhancements.
