The all-new 2017 Kia Sportage is just that, all-new. Every aspect of the crossover has been upgraded and enhanced including its connectivity features. In this shiny new version, the 2017 Sportage comes with not only Apple CarPlay but Android Auto compatibility as well. Drivers can enjoy these systems as standard features in every trim streaming through Kia’s latest infotainment system the UVO3.
With UVO3, drivers now have more features at their fingertips than ever before. Building upon previous UVO eServices versions, the UVO3 will still have MyUVO access, Parking Minder, Voice Command and every other feature previously available with previous UVO eServices. However, the new system now includes 14 new telematics services, 8 GB of music storage and as mentioned Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

2017 Sportage Awards
For the 2016 awards handed out by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the 2017 model of the Kia Sportage has been named a Top Safety Pick Plus (TSP+). The all-new Sportage was able to achieve this prestigious award even with the changes made by the IIHS to the award’s parameters to raise standards and qualifications. In each of the IIHS’s crashworthiness tests, the 2017 Sportage received the highest possible ratings when equipped with Kia’s latest safety features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking, Front and Rear Parking Assist, Blind Spot Detection and Lane Change Assist.
The technologies and safety features of the 2017 Kia Sportage make Kia’s longest running nameplate an excellent choice for your next car. Every feature of this CUV provides the Sportage with a level of versatility and adaptability to keep up with the busiest of lifestyles.
