Is Kia Sportage a small SUV?

I’m about to purchase my first SUV and the vast amount of choices is making my head spin. I like the look of the Kia Sportage, but don’t want to drive anything too bulky. Is it pretty small?

The Sportage is a popular pick among SUV buyers! The
Kia Sportage
is a small SUV, but it’s gotten a little bigger recently. Technically, it’s classified as a compact crossover SUV, which means it’s larger than a subcompact SUV and smaller than a midsized SUV. Examples of other vehicles in the compact SUV category include the
Chevrolet Equinox
and
Nissan Rogue
.
The Kia Sportage has always been longer than most compact SUVs, though. The average length for a compact SUV is between 165 and 175 inches, but the 2022 Sportage measured 176.4 inches. The Sportage underwent a redesign for the 2023 model year, which stretched its length to 183.4 inches.
Whether you decide to park a new Sportage in your driveway or prefer one of Kia’s smaller SUVs like the
Soul
or
Seltos
, you’ll need to purchase
car insurance
.
