The Sportage manages to grab the award by providing consumers with an overall package of passenger and cargo space, fuel efficiency, and driving capability.  Consumers looking for a small crossover that is both versitile and affordable find what they are looking for in a Waukegan Kia Sportage.

The Sportage boasts excellent safety and convenience features, like full-length side curtain airbags, Sirius satellite radio capability with three months complimentary service, and USB and mp3 input jacks.  Meanwhile, the  Sportage is the essence of fuel efficiency for the crossover segment, achieving 25 mpg highway.

I can’t say I’m surprised by the Sportage’s new award.  You can’t get a better crossover for the money, especially when you factor ownership costs in, which are low with the Sportage thanks to a 10-year warranty and exceptional fuel economy for its size.

“Sportage, a staple in the Kia Motors lineup since the brand’s inception, offers a high level of value and amenities to those looking for a low-cost option in the SUV segment, and buyers recognize that,” said Kia Motors America VP of marketing, Michael Sprague.  “We take special pride in this recognition as it is a direct reflection of consumer satisfaction and further proof that our commitment to offering vehicles with a superior blend of value, safety and convenience features is resonating with new car buyers.”

I’ve driven the Sportage before, and there is absolutely no reason a Sportage buyer would be dissatisfied with their purchase.  What you see is what you get with a Waukegan Kia Sportage, and it performs every task you ask of it.  From taking the kids to school to bounding off-road, the Sportage offers versatility, space, and affordability – it should probably get an award every week.

If you want to check out this crossover that satisfies, head out to the Kia dealer Waukegan trusts most for safe, affordable autos, Classic Kia.
