Maine Kia Dealer Announces 2011 Sportage

The 2011 Kia Sportage at Portland ME Kia Dealership

The 2011 Kia Sportage is one great-looking crossover, and with a starting price of $18,295 , it’s an affordable option for Maine Kia consumers in the market for a crossover vehicle as well. Kia announced recently that its longest running nameplate will start well below the $20,000 mark while sporting standard features like a six-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, MP3 inputs and Bluetooth connectivity.

At $20,295 ($20,990 with destination) the mid-level LX model adds outside mirrors with LED turn signal indicators, keyless entry and privacy glass. Another $3,000 ($23,990 with destination) adds 18-inch alloy wheels and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. Standard safety features include six airbags, four-wheel ABS and electronic stability control.

The Sportage, which will be available from our Portland Kia dealership later this year, is a terrific value for Maine Kia shoppers. Sportage’s 176-horsepower 2.4-liter will deliver an impressive 22 miles-per-gallon in city driving and 31 mpg on the highway. A far more powerful 270+ horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter Sportage variant will be available later in the model year at the premier Maine Kia dealership, Bill Dodge Kia.

When the Sportage goes on sale this fall at the #1 ME Kia dealer, there will be two trim levels: base LX and upscale EX. Options will include navigation, rear parking sensors, a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, leather seats and Kia’s new UVO voice control system. Safety enhancements will include hill start assist and hill descent control, as well as stability and traction control.

The 2011 Sportage from Bill Dodge Kia will come equipped with torso-protecting front-seat side airbags and head-protecting curtain side airbags for both seating rows. The curtain bags are designed to deploy in side collisions and when onboard sensors detect an impending rollover. Air conditioning, power windows and locks, and remote keyless entry are likely standards. Expect options such as leather upholstery, heated front seats, power driver seat, front windshield-wiper de-icer, and dual front automatic climate control.

Maine Kia Sportage consumers will appreciate saving money at the pump. The  2011 Sportage LX with manual transmission and front-wheel drive will be rated around 23/31 mpg (city/highway). With automatic transmission, expect both the 2011 Sportage LX and EX to be rated 22/30 with front-wheel drive, 22/29 with AWD. Such ratings would place the 2011 Sportage among the most fuel-efficient compact crossovers on the road today.

Included in any Sportage from the top Kia dealer serving Portland is Kia’s generous warranty. Coverage is 5-years/60,000-miles bumper-to-bumper and 10-years/100,000-miles powertrain.
