2023 Kia Sportage EX Review

This 2023 Kia Sportage in crisp White is ready to handle everything London, Ontario throws at it, with All-Wheel Drive and a punchy 2.5L engine under the hood. With 103,209 km on the clock, it's priced to move at $24,995 and comes loaded with driver assistance tech and comfort features. A well-equipped, practical crossover that won't break the bank.

What stood out about this one

I've had a lot of Sportages come through South West Auto Group, and this generation is one I genuinely enjoy driving myself. The redesign Kia gave this model really elevated it - the cabin feels more premium, the tech is intuitive, and the AWD system gives you real confidence on Ontario roads.

What stands out to me with this particular unit is how well-equipped it is for the price point. Heated seats, dual-zone climate, remote start, and all the safety features like lane keep assist and forward collision warning - these are things buyers often have to pay extra for, and here they're already included.

My team and I have gone over this Sportage to make sure it's ready for its next owner. If you're looking for a practical, safe, and comfortable SUV that won't stretch your budget, I'd genuinely recommend taking this one for a test drive.

What to check before you buy

• Check for Kia's remaining factory warranty coverage, as 2023 models often still carry balance of the 5-year/100,000km comprehensive warranty
• Compare AWD trims against FWD versions - the AWD system is a big plus for Ontario winters
• Ask about maintenance history, especially oil changes, given the mileage on this unit
• Test the infotainment system to ensure Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connects smoothly, as software can vary by update level
