Interior comfort reaches a new level in the 2025 Sportage. The large digital display on the dashboard catches the eye, and the available two-tone interior color scheme adds a level of pizazz that you won’t find anywhere else. An all-black cabin is also available for those who prefer simplicity. In the center console, drivers of the Sportage will find a rotary shift knob, a push-to-start button, and other useful controls. Both the front and rear seats have adult-friendly legroom, and the 40 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back seats provides plenty of storage. To add to the versatility, there’s a dual-level cargo floor.
Up to five passengers can travel comfortably in the two rows of the 2025 CX-50. The dashboard has almost a truck-like appearance with its squared-off vents, and the front seats are supportive and comfortable for when you need to drive a little further. Taller adults may have a trickier time in the rear seat, but the headroom makes up for it. Each trim level comes standard with a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a partially digital gauge display, and a push-button start.
Under the hood of the 2025 Sportage is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that generates 187 horsepower. Both front and all-wheel drive are options, and the X-Line trim adds a touch of ruggedness that makes it capable of tackling the great outdoors. For the hardcore outdoorsman, the X-Pro travels on black 17-inch rims and all-terrain tires, and thanks to the selection of drive modes, you can get into the rough stuff. As far as towing goes, the Sportage can haul up to 2,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Every 2025 CX-50 is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, although the turbocharged variant delivers 256 horsepower for those who need a bit more power. All-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission are standard, leaving you with crisp handling and smooth movements. Driving around town or down a dirt road is joyful and easy, and with a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds, you can get more accomplished than you thought. If you choose to go the turbocharged route, you can even bump up the towing capacity to 3,500 pounds.
The 2025 Sportage is full of innovative standard and optional safety and driver-assistance features that are sure to give you peace of mind on the road. Some of the most impressive features include:
Driving the 2025 Sportage is like having an extra set of eyes and hands on the road, ensuring you never miss anything and avoid collisions at all costs.
