Having a modest budget doesn’t mean that you have to relinquish the utility, space and comfort of a recent model year small crossover SUV. At Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, we recently added a 2017 Kia Sportage LX with 46,236 miles to our preowned inventory and it strikes an ideal balance when it comes to affordability and versatility.Â
Â
Priced at just $14,888, this front-wheel drive mover is made for those who like to travel across the PNW. Under the hood, the 2017 Sportage LX runs on a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine, which is rated for 181 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. According to Edmunds, this powerplant operates smoothly, while also offering great ride compliance and handling control. It’s fuel efficient too, netting an EPA rating of 26 mpg combined (23 city/30 highway).

Â
Inside, the 2017 Kia Sportage LX offers a lot of value with many in-demand features that promise to add to your comfort and convenience. This includes a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, rear climate vents, and 60/40-split folding rear seatbacks. A 5-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth keeps you connected with home and the office, while premium sound is conducted from a six-speaker sound system with a USB port, an AUX input jack and satellite radio.Â
Â
On the exterior, standard 17-inch alloy wheels, LED running lights, automatic headlights, and rear privacy-tinted windows add to its stylish good looks.
