The AutoPacific IVA awards are a quantitative measurement of how closely a vehicle matches an owner&#8217;s expectations.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We take great pride in knowing our owners are satisfied with their vehicles and Sportage&#8217;s recognition as an ideal vehicle is a tremendous compliment,&#8221; said Michael Sprague, vice president of marketing, Kia Motors America (KMA). &#8220;This second AutoPacific award directly reflects the satisfaction of smart, discerning Sportage owners, and this type of consumer feedback validates Kia&#8217;s commitment to providing high levels of quality, style, safety and practicality in all of our vehicles.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Sportage, noted for its passenger and cargo space as well as its off-road capabilities and impressive fuel economy, meets the needs of consumers looking for the total package at a significant value. Sportage offers an extensive list of standard safety and convenience features, including six airbags with full-length side curtain airbags, SIRIUS Satellite Radio with three months complimentary service(1) and USB and auxiliary input jacks, while the 2.0-liter engine delivers impressive fuel economy at 20 mpg (city) and 25 mpg (highway). </p>
