Hollywood isn’t the only industry in award season! The North American International Auto Show is underway, and many award shows are held right in Detroit. Every year, Cars.com hosts their Best of Awards at the NAIAS, where they recognize the all-new or redesigned vehicles that have excelled in value, innovation, and quality. This year, Cars.com chose the fourth-generation all-new 2017 Kia Sportage as the winner of the Best New Compact SUV! They were impressed by its modern design, spacious cabin, dynamic performance, and of course, its Top Safety Pick+ distinction from the IIHS.

“With all of the improvements made for the 2017 model year, it’s hard to ignore the Sportage” said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning KMA. “Instead of bland utility, the Sportage combines distinctly European and sporty styling with an impressive level of craftsmanship and surprising features, all for an excellent value. To be recognized by the experts at Cars.com as ‘Best Compact SUV’ and as a ‘Best Of’ nominee represents how far the Kia brand has come in its continued commitment to world-class quality and top-notch design.”
