The 1999 Kia Sportage was a compact SUV that marked a significant step forward for the Korean automaker. Launched in 1995, the first generation Sportage was a rebadged version of the Mazda Tribute, but the 1999 model year brought a complete redesign. This second generation Sportage, built on an entirely new platform, offered a more modern and refined driving experience, with a more spacious interior and a wider range of engine options. The Sportage became known for its value proposition, offering a sturdy and functional SUV at a competitive price point. The 1999 Sportage offered a choice of two engines: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 138 horsepower, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 145 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a five-speed manual transmission, although a four-speed automatic was also available. The Sportage's compact size and relatively high ground clearance made it suitable for both urban driving and light off-road adventures. The 1999 Sportage was equipped with standard safety features such as dual front airbags and anti-lock brakes, although safety regulations were less stringent in that era compared to today. The vehicle's interior was functional and offered comfortable seating for five passengers, although it wasn't as luxurious as some of its competitors. While not exactly known for its luxurious features, the Sportage offered a blend of practicality, affordability, and off-road capability that attracted a loyal following.
