The Kia Sportage 2025 has officially made its way to the UAE market, bringing a fresh blend of modern styling, versatile engine options, and premium features. Designed to meet the needs of families and drivers who value both comfort and performance, this new generation SUV offers a spacious cabin, a host of safety technologies, and customization options that set it apart in its segment. Here is a closer look at its trims, specs, and features.
The Sportage 2025 lineup offers several trim levels to suit different budgets and preferences. The entry-level 11A trim starts at 97,650 AED and offers three engine choices: a 2.0 liter Smartstream with 156 hp, a 1.6 liter Smartstream GDi-T with 180 hp, and a 1.6 liter diesel Smartstream with 136 hp. Buyers can choose between front wheel drive or all wheel drive.
The L trim (TX, LX, SX) begins at 102,900 AED and adds more powerful options, including a 1.5 liter turbo engine producing 197 hp with front wheel drive, or a 2.0 liter turbo delivering 233 hp with all wheel drive. All engines are paired with an eight speed automatic transmission.
The exterior showcases a bold new face with Kia’s updated Tiger Nose grille enhanced with chrome accents. Sleek LED headlights with boomerang shaped daytime running lights give it a distinctive presence. Side profile lines add a sporty touch, complemented by alloy wheels up to 19 inches. A panoramic sunroof is available for an open, airy feel, and several exclusive paint colors cater to UAE buyers.
Inside, the cabin seats up to five with generous legroom. Twin 12.3 inch displays dominate the dashboard, combining a digital driver cluster and a central touchscreen. Premium materials like soft touch surfaces and synthetic leather create a refined atmosphere, while ambient lighting enhances the mood. Higher trims offer heated and ventilated front seats, plus clever storage solutions and 60:40 split folding rear seats.
The Sportage 2025 comes loaded with modern safety tech. Lane Keeping Assist helps maintain position on highways, while Forward Collision Avoidance detects vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, applying brakes if needed. Smart Cruise Control adapts speed based on traffic flow, and Blind Spot Collision Avoidance alerts drivers during lane changes.
Parking is easier with Remote Smart Parking Assist, which can maneuver the SUV in and out of tight spaces. Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance warns and brakes if a hazard is detected when reversing. Multiple airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, and advanced driver aids round out the safety package.
