The KIA Sportage, a compact SUV that made its debut in 1993, quickly gained popularity for its affordable price, practical design, and surprisingly capable off-road abilities. The 1995-2007 model years saw significant changes to the Sportage, with the first generation being completely redesigned in 1995. This initial model was marketed as a rugged and reliable vehicle, offering a sturdy chassis, a high ground clearance, and a robust 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. While features like air conditioning were optional, the Sportage still offered a comfortable and spacious interior for its time. The second generation, introduced in 2004, brought a more contemporary styling, a larger cabin with improved features, and a wider choice of engines, including a 2.7-liter V6 option. Despite its success, the Sportage struggled to compete with established players in the SUV market, primarily due to an outdated design and a lack of safety features compared to its rivals.
