2017 Kia Sportage

  Dynamic design touches spanning the modern exterior silhouettes and interior styling make the new Sportage a more upscale ride for both drivers and passengers.

 Fluid curves flow harmoniously into striking angles in the next evolution of the 2017 Sportage. With an imposing appearance, a rock-solid stance and the torque to take you wherever the journey leads you, the re-imagined 2017 Sportage is a stylish, bolder-than-ever standout in an otherwise utilitarian category.





Interior:
  The 2017 Sportage’s lush interior and additional space for passengers and cargo is quieter, cleaner and more ergonomic than ever. The Sportage also gains plenty of room for a multitude of available premium additions, from upgraded seats and the latest UVO eServices Infotainment System, and the Smart Power Tailgate.

Performance:
  Agile handling and impressive power converge with surprising fuel-efficiency in either of the two different four-cylinder engines available with the 2017 Sportage. The LX and EX models come with a 2.4-liter engine, while the SX model gets a more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. Front-wheel drive is standard, with Dynamax Intelligent all-wheel drive available on all Sportage trims.

Which Tires are right for your car?

 As we head in to winter, Lujack Kia encourages everyone to take notice of their tires.  The tires your car is riding on can have a dramatic impact in several ways.  They help determine your gas mileage, how your car handles, breaking distance, how it rides, and how it performs in different types of weather.  There are differing opinions on whether different tires  for winter are necessary or even advantageous if you live in an area where climates are varied.  Here, we try to help guide you through the process of choosing which tires are best for your car.  

 
 
 
  A few tips when deciding:  Consider your driving conditions, as well as your driving habits.  If you live in an area where snowfall is prevalent and you drive "aggressively" no matter the conditions, then  you are probably a good candidate for snow tires.  They will help with your braking distances, keeping you and those around you safer.  Even if you are a cautious driver, snow tires are something to consider.  All-season tires simply can't be the best tires for all seasons, they are designed to be acceptable for all conditions. 

  Buy the best tires you can afford.  Especially living in the Midwest, we never know what the weather will bring us.  Having the best tires on your car you can might keep you out of an accident, and will help your car perform better.
