The Kia Sportage EX AWD (2016) blends confident all-weather capability with refined daily-driver comfort, making it a compelling choice for Filipino families who demand both utility and style. This diesel-powered compact SUV delivers a rare combination of torque-rich performance and genuine all-wheel-drive traction.

Under the hood, a 2.0-liter Inline-4 DOHC 16-valve diesel engine produces 185 Ps at 4,000 rpm and a stout 402 Nm of torque at just 2,750 rpm. That muscle is channeled through a 6-speed automatic transmission and a full-time AWD system, allowing the Sportage to tackle wet roads, light off-road trails, and steep inclines with confidence. The MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension keep the ride composed whether you’re navigating EDSA traffic or cruising the expressway.

Key Highlights

  • All-Wheel Drive & Strong Torque – The 402 Nm diesel engine pairs with a permanent AWD drivetrain for sure-footed handling on slippery or uneven surfaces.
  • Spacious 5-Seat Cabin with Leather Seats – Accommodates 2+3 passengers in a well-appointed interior trimmed in genuine leather, with rear A/C vents for passenger comfort.
  • 18-Inch Alloy Wheels & Disc Brakes – Roll on 225/55/R18 tires front and rear, with four-wheel disc brakes and a tire pressure monitoring system for added safety.
  • Touchscreen Infotainment with USB/AUX – The standard touchscreen supports MP3, iPod, USB, AUX, and CD playback, keeping your media library accessible on every trip.
  • Parking Sensors & Security Alarm – Standard parking sensors assist in tight urban parking, while the security alarm adds peace of mind.
  • 5-Year/160,000km Warranty – Backed by Kia’s comprehensive warranty, this car offers long-term ownership confidence.

With a price in the Philippines of ₱1,475,000, the Kia Sportage EX AWD (2016) is an ideal choice for active Filipino drivers who need a versatile, diesel-powered SUV that can handle both city commutes and weekend getaways. Its AWD capability, generous torque, and practical feature set make it a smart, no-nonsense buy in the used-car market.
