2012 Kia Sportage Overview

Price Range: $18,500 to $28,400

The five-seat 2012 Kia Sportage compact crossover, which was redesigned last year, offers crisp styling, a pair of powerful engines, and plenty of cargo room.

This latest iteration of the Sportage debuted in 2011 with a completely different look than its predecessor. Now in year two, it still has some of the most attractive exterior angles to be found in this very competitive segment, especially up front. A panoramic moonroof is available for those who want to let the sun shine in the cabin.

Under the hood of the Sportage, there are two engine options. The base engine is a 176-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder that comes on base, LX, and EX trims. For the more powerful engine found in the line-topping SX trim, the Sportage opts for a forced-induction four-cylinder instead of the V-6 you’d find in most of the competition. This turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder outputs 260-horsepower and 269 pounds-feet of torque. Transmission options include a six-speed manual or automatic, and all Sportages feature  hill start assist, which holds the Sportage in place when starting off uphill, as well as hill descent control which limits the Sportage’s speed during descents.

Inside, the 2012 Sportage comes with a lot of standard equipment, something that Kia has done well over the past several years. Air conditioning, USB/auxiliary audio ports, Bluetooth® connectivity, height adjustable front seats, and steering wheel mounted audio/Bluetooth controls all come standard. Available options include dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, a cooled glove box, and heated/ventilated front seats. Kia’s new Uvo entertainment system is also available, connecting to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Uvo allows you to access your contacts and make calls, reads text messages aloud, and lets you control the audio/Bluetooth system via voice commands.

The Sportage is also an IIHS Top Safety Pick and has standard safety features like antilock brakes, an electronic stability system, active front head restraints, and a full suite of airbags.

"...This was my first time buying a new car, and I really didn't know where to start. I used your site to get quotes from dealers near me and compared them to the Market Price. Then, I used the knowledge I got from reading your Secrets book to make sure I didn't pay more than I should. It was so easy! I love my new car!"

Some manufacturers also provide first-time buyer, military, and other programs to target specific customer segments.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
