Seven Fabulous and Unique Kia Sportage Trims
Sportage LX
Budget-conscious buyers will love the Sportage LX, Kia’s base trim. Available in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive for more stability and traction when driving in inclement weather conditions, this option offers a user-friendly interface and great functionality with features drivers love most. As with all trims of the 2025 Sportage, Kia includes its suite of driver assist features to help keep you and your family safer on today’s busy roadways. The LX has a comfortable cloth interior, and an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system adorns the center of the dash. Equipped with manually adjustable front seats, wireless Bluetooth connectivity, front-row USB ports, and a six-speaker sound system, the LX is a great entry-level option that’s a budget-friendly upgrade from your current ride.
Sportage EX
Next, we have the Sportage EX trim, which offers some key upgrades to add more comfort to your drive without breaking the bank. The seats are upholstered in Kia’s SynTex leatherette for a more upscale feel and are available in two colors: Saturn Black and Misty Gray. The front-row seats are heated, there is a 10-way power-adjustable driver seat, and the steering wheel is leather-wrapped for a more comfortable grip. The LX also comes with push button start and remote start for added convenience. The center stack infotainment system is upgraded from an eight-inch to a 12.3-inch screen for easier usability while driving. The climate controls also see an upgrade to a dual-zone system so your front passenger can choose their most comfortable temperature setting. A wireless phone charging pad and rear seat USB charging ports for device charging have also been added.
Sportage X-Line
The Sportage X-Line builds on the features of the previous EX trim but diverges in the overall exterior design, appearance, and features to provide a more rugged experience. Riding on X-Line-exclusive 19-inch black alloy wheels with gloss black exterior accents, the X-Line appears confident and eye-catching. Coming standard with high-utility roof rails, also in black, this trim is ready for kayak or bike roof rack mounts and taking off for a long day of having fun outside. Inside, this trim comes with exclusive X-Line SynTex perforated and quilted upholstery in either Saturn Black or Sage Green. This latter color pairs well with the beautiful Jungle Green exterior color, which is not available on the EX and LX trims. The X-Line also comes standard in an all-wheel drive configuration because this trim is built for adventure.
Sportage SX
Fourth in the lineup, the Sportage SX is a trim level that offers more standard luxury features. Here, we see Kia add a panoramic sunroof with a power sunshade, driver memory settings, and a Smart Power Liftgate for hands-free rear cargo access. The interior SynTex upholstery is offered in our favorite color—the enticing Carmine Red—at this trim level in addition to the standard Saturn Black. Additional features are also found in the list of driver assist tools, including Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go-Curve. The audio system is expanded to include eight speakers made by Harman Kardon, and there is the added luxury of a leather-wrapped gear shift knob. LED interior lighting makes it easier to find things at night, and the exterior has unique accenting for a performance-inspired look.
Sportage SX Prestige
The Sportage SX Prestige, our fifth trim level, expands on the SX by adding ventilation to the power-adjustable heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Solar control glass blocks the day’s hottest rays to keep the interior cooler in the summer heat. The front passenger also benefits from a power-adjustable seat for the first time. Full LED rear combination tail lights and front LED fog lights add even more sporty inspiration to the overall look with the bonus of enhanced visibility at night or in bad weather. This trim also receives Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-Reverse and a 360-degree Surround View Monitor to help you maneuver in tight spaces.
Sportage X-Pro
Luxury and off-road capability meet in the Sportage X-Pro trim. This option is for the adventurer who desires more comfort, convenience, and performance than the X-Line trim level can offer. With standard all-wheel drive and all-terrain tires on 17-inch wheels, this trim is perfect for tackling dirt roads. Kia also adds four selectable Multi-Terrain Drive Modes as well as a heated windshield for quicker defogging and de-icing in the winter. Also exclusive to this trim is a selection of exciting two-tone exteriors that pair your chosen paint color with a gloss black roof and pillars for a head-turning look.
Sportage X-Pro Prestige
Finally, meet the incredible Sportage X-Pro Prestige, your fully loaded luxury model that is also ready for an adventure. This is the top of the trim lineup for drivers who want the absolute best Kia has to offer, with zero compromises. Every driver assistance feature comes standard in this all-wheel drive option that expertly blends the off-path, blacked-out appearance with sport-inspired looks, including the full LED rear combination tail lights. You’ll get everything we’ve previously mentioned in the X-Pro Prestige in one stellar package.
