Standard on all models is a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with 147 hp (with an optional 1.6L turbo with 201 hp on the SX trim), paired with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. The SX also comes with sport-tuned suspension for the performance-oriented driver. The interior includes key tech panels such as a 7” touchscreen infotainment system with UVO eServices, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. From a safety perspective, available features include autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assistance, and blind-spot monitoring. For 2017, Kia refined the engine lineup and front fascia design.
