For more off-road performance and ability to handle tricky road situations, the 2007 Kia Sportage LX 4WD V6 has both the power and the four-wheel drive action that gives this affordable crossover SUV a sporty and rugged feel.  It features the 2.7-liter, 173-hp V6 engine and a 4-speed automatic.  Sitting on 16-inch wheels, the 2007 Sportage LX 4WD V6 has two rows of seating for five people.  Rear seats fold flat and the passenger seat folds as well, to pack in more cargo.  The manual liftgate opens separately from the rear window, which has its own wiper.
Other standard features match what's in the LX 2WD V6, including power features, cruise control, CD player, front and overhead console, roof rails, and tilt steering.  Ranked high for safety, this trim also comes standard with ABS brakes, stability and traction control, and front, front-side, and side airbags.  A Sport Package option adds on fog lights, exterior accents, and a rear spoiler.  You can also get a tow hitch -- the Sportage V6 is rated to tow up to 2000 pounds.
