► 2012 Kia Sportage SX TURBO (First images)

On the heels of its 2011 International Truck of the Year recognition by ICOTY jurors, Kia Motors America (KMA) today announced the launch of the all-new 2011 Sportage SX compact CUV, scheduled to arrive in dealer showrooms later this month. As part of Kia's design-led transformation, the Sportage has become a strong player within the Kia line-up, offering power and class-leading fuel economy1. SX models take a solid foundation and up the ante with a more powerful four-cylinder turbo engine, exterior styling enhancements and unique interior options. The 2011 Sportage SX front-wheel drive (FWD) features a starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $25,795 while all-wheel drive (AWD) models feature a starting MSRP of $27,2952.

My bad I missunderstood you. And yeah this car handles like a v6 but consumes gas like a 4 cylinder pretty good I average 34 mpg and I am not what you call a patient driver.

@Seadgaranovic Honda is only using their reputation to sell. Had it not been for V-Tech or its "good reliability", Honda should be bankrupt.

@Seadgaranovic you know this design has been around for a year right? i bought a 2011 sportage back in 2010 when they first introduced this design. so Honda is already behind on design.
