Turning the Sportage into a more car-like sport-ute should make it an even more popular alternative to cheapo sedans. Car Purchase Tips (2002)
With generous ground clearance and double-wishbone front suspension it's your ticket to sport utility heaven. Consumer Guide (2002)
Sportage comes as a 4-dr wagon and a shorter 2-dr semiconvertible with a rear folding soft top. Both are among the few compact SUVs with body-on-frame instead of unibody construction. Epinions (2002)

New for 2002: The Kia Sportage enters the new model year with air conditioning, alloy wheels, an upgraded audio system, privacy glass, and an outside latch for the rear hatch as standard equipment on the four-door. The EX trim level is discontinued. New Car Test Drive (2002)
Tough little SUV with new standard features. 4wdonline (2001)
The spare wheel can be tucked under the rear body, rather than hanging on a rear carrier, as before. Epinions (2001)

Kia's Sportage is built like a truck, on a separate ladder frame; and it uses a truck-like four-wheel-drive transfer case that locks the front and rear axles together for serious off-road slogging. Popular Mechanics (2001)
The two-door soft-top model introduced last year combines off-road capability with carefree open-air motoring. The manual convertible top covers the rear seats and is designed to fold down quickly. It can be removed or stowed under a tonneau. Car Trackers (2000)
Sportage's serious handling hardware starts with a stiff chassis, which amounts to a ladder-like boxed rectangle of steel with tubular cross braces and stamped steel cross members. Epinions (2000)
See what owners of the 2000 Kia Sportage think of their vehicles -- the good and the bad. New Car Test Drive (2000)
A small SUV with real off-road capability. The Auto Channel (2000)
Its chassis consists of a full ladder frame and it can be had in either two-or-four-wheel drive. And because it has automatic locking from hubs, engaging 4WD is easy through the two-speed transfer case: just pull the lever and go. The Auto Channel (2000)

The 1999 Kia Sportage is an incremental development of the previous model. Externally we have new grille, bumpers, lights and paints. Epinions (1999)
See what owners of the 1999 Kia Sportage think of their vehicles -- the good and the bad. Woman Motorist (1999)
A combination of the Kia's 104-inch wheelbase, 60-inch track, impressive angles of approach and departure, and supple suspension made this everyday-SUV-turned-racecar a dazzling dame at "eating up" the bumps. Chicago Sun Times (1998)
The Sportage has been revamped for 1998, with a bolder-looking grille, new instrument panel, flashier wheel designs and a more user-friendly spare tire carrier. Epinions (1998)
See what owners of the 1998 Kia Sportage think of their vehicles -- the good and the bad. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1998)
In size, it's at the low end of the compact class. In concept, it's based on a truck chassis, as are most SUVs these days. Woman Motorist (1998)
Kia has a real jewel in the Sportage, as it offers more interior size and looks than anything in the price segment.
