2006 NY Auto Show
Completely redesigned from the ground up, the Sportage is a radically different vehicle compared to its rugged predecessor. Both sportier and more elegant, the new Sportage is longer, wider and taller than the previous-generation vehicle, providing a much more spacious and adaptable interior combined with sleeker aerodynamics for quiet, refined high-speed cruising.
With its well-combined powertrain offerings that include a 2.0 I4 and 2.7 V6 gasoline engine as well as a 2.0 diesel engine mated to manual or H-Matic 4-speed automatic transmissions (automatic only for the V6) with electronic full-time 4-wheel drive system (torque on demand), the Sportage is high on performance.
The 2.7 V6 version churns out 175 horsepower at 6,000 rpm.
