LED projector headlights are now a standard feature.
The latest generation of the Kia Sportage debuted for the 2022 model year. Now, the brand is announcing pricing and feature changes for the 2024 example.
Kia is eliminating the SX AWD trim. It was previously a mid-range model in the lineup. The second-row seats now have airbags, and there are projection-type LED headlights as standard.
