Safety and control are priorities built into the Sportage EX. The vehicle features dual front impact airbags, front and rear side impact airbags, an overhead airbag system, and electronic stability control with traction management. Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, brake assist, and low tire pressure warning keep you informed and secure. Speed-sensing steering adapts to your driving speed, and the front and rear anti-roll bars enhance stability.

The interior is designed for comfort and function. Dual front climate zones let you and your passenger maintain preferred temperatures independently. The power driver seat with manual lumbar support positions you properly for all-day comfort. Split-folding rear seats provide flexible cargo space, while the rear seat center armrest offers additional passenger accommodation. You'll find convenient touches throughout: a rear window defroster, rear window wiper, telescoping and tilt steering wheel, and thoughtful storage with driver and passenger door bins and vanity mirrors.

The Sportage EX keeps you connected and informed. The AM/FM/HD audio system with six speakers plays clearly throughout the cabin, while steering wheel controls let you manage audio and calling features without taking your hands from the wheel.
