Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Reviewers say the Sportage is good looking for an SUV. Upscale exterior features include dual exhausts, 16-inch alloy wheels and a rear split-hatch liftgate with flip-open glass. 

• "Today's Sportage wears a curvaceous, almost organic look, with a get-up-and-go attitude accentuated by short overhangs, a relatively wide track, ample tires (235/60-16 all-season radials) and generous headroom." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "Undeniably cute and appealing, Sportage was a major hit among young drivers, who found a lot to like about its styling, four-wheel drive and, primarily, modest price tag." -- Arizona Republic
• "The Sportage, with its beefier appearance characterized by flared wheel arches, makes the Escape look almost puny. This second-generation Sportage is larger than the previous model, with distinctive looks and personality." -- Detroit News
• "The Sportage has a chiseled, toned look, whereas the [Hyundai] Tucson has a pudgier appearance." -- Car and Driver
