For those who love the incredible upgrades in driver assistance technology to keep their family and vehicle safe around St Charles, the new Kia Sportage may be the favorite. This is in part why its starting price is a little higher:

• Both the Sorento and the Sportage offer a Blind Spot Collision Warning as standard
• At the base trim level, however, the Kia Sportage also offers Forward Collision Warning with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, and a Driver Attention Monitor.
• You can access those additional features in the 2020 Kia Sorento, but you’ll have to upgrade to the EX trim.
• WIth the 2020 Kia Sportage, you can also upgrade to access Forward Collision Avoidance, a recent innovation in many driver-assist safety suites
