2020 Kia Sportage Iso-Structure ™ Construction
The first thing between you in injury in a crash is your vehicle. The 2020 Kia Sportage has been reinforced with a high-tensile steel alloy cage around the cabin and the front portion of the vehicle. These steel bars improve the rigidity of the car, which means it won’t crumple as easy and crush its own passengers.

2020 Kia Sportage Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
When you start to drive down a slope, your momentum and gravity pull you forward at a faster pace, meaning that you don’t even need to press the accelerator to pick up speed. While cruising is great for your fuel economy, it isn’t the safest of situations. As you pick up speed heading downhill, you may pass the legal limit. Downhill Brake Control uses your vehicle’s brakes to maintain a constant downhill speed. It also can engage when driving on slippery surfaces.
2020 Kia Sportage Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
Parking lots don’t seem like the most dangerous of environments, but a lot goes on in parking lots, and you don’t always have a great view of what is behind your vehicle. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning takes away some of that stress by providing you with a visual or auditory signal when someone is passing through your blind spots behind you.
