The 2010 Kia Sportage, part of the model's second generation, is a compact crossover SUV available in either front-wheel or four-wheel drive. It offers two engine options - a standard 2.0L four-cylinder engine producing 140 horsepower, and a more powerful 2.7L V6 engine generating 173 horsepower. Both engines are mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The Sportage comes in three trims: LX, EX, and the sporty SX. Notable standard features include full power accessories, keyless entry, cruise control, and a CD player, while the top-level trims see the addition of a sunroof, leather seats, and premium audio. Despite the lack of some advanced safety features present in newer models, the 2010 Sportage comes equipped with the necessary basic safety features such as front-seat side airbags, full-length side-curtain type airbags, antilock brakes, and stability control, ensuring a safe drive for its occupants.
