The headlamps earned an &#8220;acceptable&#8221; rating while the Sportage&#8217;s standard and optional front crash prevention systems earned &#8220;superior&#8221; ratings in the daytime and &#8220;advanced&#8221; ratings in the nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kia&#8217;s longest running nameplate continues to improve and deliver for today&#8217;s savvy and adventurous compact SUV buyers,&#8221; said Steven Center, COO and EVP, <span class=\"xn-person\">Kia America<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention test is a new addition to the TSP+ criteria. Either &#8220;advanced&#8221; or &#8220;superior&#8221; performance ratings are required in both the nighttime and daytime pedestrian tests for TSP+ designation. The roof strength, head restraint and vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention evaluations are no longer part of the award criteria.<\/p>\n<p>The 2024 Sportage continues to deliver a diverse lineup of trim levels, including the X-Pro and X-Pro Prestige, which allow drivers to venture further into nature with adventure ready features including all-terrain tires. All trims feature a 2.5L 4-cylinder gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine that produces 187 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"xn-person\">Kia America<\/span> \u2013 about us<br \/><\/b><i>Headquartered in <span class=\"xn-location\">Irvine, California<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-person\">Kia America<\/span> continues to top automotive quality surveys.
