Here at Thelen Kia in Bay City, Michigan, our staff would like to wish you a Happy New Year! We are excited to see what 2022 brings and hope you have an exciting time ringing in the new year. Our dealership will be closed on January 1st in observance of the holiday, but we will be open again on January 3rd. Now is the perfect time to treat yourself to a brand-new Kia vehicle to bring in the new year! If you are planning on adventuring more in the coming months, the brand new 2022 Kia Sportage crossover is a great option. It has a fresh new exterior and interior look, has an available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, and boasts plenty of advanced technologies to enjoy. The newest Sportage earned the 2021 IIHS Top Safety Pick when equipped with Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist and LED headlights, and it is backed by a Best-in-Class Warranty of 10 years/100,000-miles. Kia also ranks highest among the mass-market brands in long-term reliability according to J.D. Power, giving any driver the confidence to trust their vehicle.
The brand new 2022 Kia Sportage starts at an MSRP of under $25,000 and is a spacious five-seater option that is perfect for the whole family. There are four different trim levels to choose from, ranging from the LX to the Nightfall Edition, to the EX, and lastly to the SX Turbo. There are two different engine types – a 2.4L 4-cylinder GDI engine and a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. The Dynamax AWD system is available and monitors road conditions to distribute power to the wheels that need them while in slippery weather conditions.
If you are a fan of technologies inside of your vehicle, the newest Sportage offers a broad selection of features. Some of these include wireless charging for compatible smartphones, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a Harman Kardon premium surround system, and an available Smart Power Liftgate. This means you can have your keys in your pocket and be able to open the liftgate with your hands full. There is a wide variety of safety features that are available to keep the whole family safe as well. Some of these include Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go technology, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning.
