Choose EX If…
A nicer cabin off our Hattiesburg lot is the goal — heated seats, synthetic leather, wireless charging — and you’d rather skip paying for standard AWD you might not use.
Choose LX or X-Line Instead If…
The lowest possible Sportage price points you to the LX, while standard AWD and adventure styling built for Pine Belt back roads points you to the X-Line.
