Carivo independent review & score
The 2022 Kia Sportage S. Carivo rates it 7.8/10 — middle of the pack. It does enough right to be a reasonable choice, but the scores don’t make a compelling case for picking it over class leaders.
Technology is its best dimension at 8.9/10. Infotainment quality and connectivity put it ahead of most suv rivals here — matters if a modern cabin is a priority for you. Performance (7/10) lags behind class leaders — not a dealbreaker, but a clear weak link.
At $33,499–$42,322 ($33,499–$42,322, 27 MPG, 5 passengers), it faces strong mid-range competition. Buyers have higher-scoring options nearby — worth checking before deciding. At 4 years old, this model predates meaningful updates to the Kia Sportage S lineup. Check how the current generation scores differently before committing to the older version.
