“With sharp looks and a plethora of technology features commonly found on luxury vehicles, the 2017 Kia Sportage is a major contender in the fierce crossover category.”

The 2017 Kia Sportage Takes Us on a Spooky Halloween Adventure

Earlier this year we had the awesome opportunity to venture into the southern Californian desert with 2017 Kia Sportage during its national media drive. Fast forward to October, and we traded the dramatic canyons and cacti for grocery stores, school runs, and good ‘ole Halloween fun.

As we mentioned in our original review of the 2017 Kia Sportage, this roomy and capable crossover offers one of the most complete packages in the industry. With plenty of tech, comfort features, and looks to kill (remember, it’s Halloween), it manages to have an overall advantage from its fierce competitors.

The family throughly enjoyed spending time with the Sportage during the many activities we performed, which included visiting a cemetery. Say what!
