2022 Kia Sportage Lease near Pocatello, ID

2022 Kia Sportage shown in top photo with available options.

   

At Stone’s Kia, we’re excited to provide a sales lot with multiple inventory options. However, it can seem frustrating when you encounter financial stress. For this reason, we offer lease options on automobiles such as the 2022 Kia Sportage compact SUV.

Performance

We’ll start our discussion by mentioning that the Kia Sportage has a standard 2.4L 4-cylinder powertrain. Due to this vehicle’s 23/30/26 MPG city/hwy/combined1 fuel economy rating, you’ll have no trouble making it to Idaho Falls Zoo at Tautphaus Park with few if any stops at the gas pump being necessary. Also, 181 horsepower as well as 175 lb.-ft. of torque provide steady and reliable force from the moment you press down on the gas pedal. When you anticipate off-road travels or other troublesome road conditions, rest assured that you’ll be able to take on challenges with standard MacPherson strut front suspension featuring gas shock absorbers, and independent, multi-link rear suspension with high-performance dampers. You can also maintain control with standard electric, motor-driven power steering helping to navigate you forward.

Safety

For your safety and security, the 2022 Kia Sportage provides much to trust in. The available Blind-Spot Collision Warning2 and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning3 allow you to view automobiles just outside your line of vision while also identifying obstructions as you travel in reverse. Also, if you’re moving along on upward terrain, standard Hill Start Assist Control4 beneficially will allow you to quickly switch your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator without concern about rollback. Due to assistance from the standard High Line Tire-Pressure Monitoring System4, you can stay aware of air levels among all four components and determine when it might be worthwhile to perform an exchange. Plus, standard Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection5 is designed to point out potential passersby up ahead and help take evasive action to avoid an accident.

Lease

For your monetary advantage, leasing is possible at our dealership today. As a result, you’ll take home the 2022 Sportage for an approximate two- to four-year time period in exchange for making monthly payments based on an expected depreciation value. This is a frugal alternative to traditional financing and is ideal when you’re interested in an automobile yet not completely sure that you’d like to drive it for the long term. An opportunity to experiment with different technological, safety features, and more will inform your decision as to whether this is an ideal choice for the future. Afterward, you can decide to buy the vehicle outright if you’d like. Ask us about other benefits of this choice, including the incorporation of a standard manufacturer’s warranty to cover short-term maintenance costs.

Here at Stone’s Kia, a 2022 Kia Sportage lease near Pocatello, ID, is an affordable alternative you’ll want to keep in mind. Pay us a visit at 1222 North Woodruff Avenue in Idaho Falls, ID. See you soon!

Why Should I Lease the 2022 Kia Sportage?

  • Various options available at the end of your lease

Best experience we’ve ever had in purchasing a vehicle! Steve, our salesman was efficient and friendly. He worked quickly to secure a vehicle for us with the features we wanted in spite of supply chain issues. We planned to leave in just a few days on a trip but Kyle, the general manager arranged for the ceramic coating to complete a fast delivery.

I started the car buying process several weeks ago, Brian greeted me helped me find the car that best suited my family. After a couple weeks the car became available and I was notified. Brian and the team worked with us on our trade in and helped make the new car work for us. Jeremy made the financials pain free and fit our needs. The whole Stones Kia team was fantastic to work with and I cannot recommend them nearly enough.

I had a fantastic experience at Stones Kia! I’ve been driving my 2017 Kia Forte for 3 months now and just loving it. The salesman, Steven, was able to help me pick out the vehicle that best fit my needs and wants. Plus, his expert auto mechanic knowledge was able to help me understand my vehicle and alleviate all of my concerns. It was top notch customer service. Plus, the price was phenomenal and perfect for my budget. To top it off, lifetime car washes are a nice perk.

Just purchased our first car at Stone's Kia after being a long time Hyundai customer. From the second we walked into the building, we were treated with kindness and respect. Our sales consultant, Steven, worked endlessly to get us exactly what we wanted down to the smallest details. He kept us updated every step of the way and was available for every question we had. The process was seamless. The quickest car buying experience we've ever had. We would highly recommend Stone's Kia for your car and service needs! We look forward to being a long time Kia customer! Thanks Steven and the rest of the team for an amazing experience!

After dealing with so many bad car dealers these guys reminded me that buying a car can be fun. Brian was a great salesman, never put any pressure on us and wasn't afraid to take no for an answer, very knowledgeable about the car we were looking at even though it wasn't a Kia and even answered questions after the sale. I always expect the worst from finance guys but Adam was great didn't try to sneak anything in at the end of the deal and went out of his way to help us deal with our bank even though we were financing on our own. You can tell that the people working for Stone's Kia are proud to work there and they should be because everyone we dealt with was awesome to deal with. These guys really do go above and beyond to earn your business.

This dealership is literally the best I've EVER been to. It is so refreshing to go somewhere where the employees are nice and don't act like their job is terrible. They are organized, thorough clean, friendly. They are so honest, I never fell pressured to buy something and when they say I need something I believe it. I drive 30 miles just to come to this one! I have been beyond happy with every aspect since I've bought my Kia and have recommended Kia to multiple people!

I have had the opportunity to purchase a few cars from other local new and used car dealers. (Right price and Teton Toyota) and I must say I will never be visiting those lots again. My wife and I purchased our first Kia from stones 3 years ago and we enjoyed every minute we had that car. Recently we decided it was time for an upgrade and decided to return to Kia stones in search of this upgrade. We had the chance to work with both Brian and Justin. Both were great to work with. They did a great job understanding the needs for our upgrade and didn't push us into a car that didn't fit our needs. Both sales reps were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful in answering all of questions, and concerns. Unlike past visits to other local lots neither my wife or myself felt that these two gentlemen would be put to death of we didn't leave in a new vehicle. In the end they were able to help us find our next car that fit our needs instead of a car that simply filled their wallets. This will defiantly be my only stop the next time I am in the market for a vehicle. Thank you Brian and Justin.

We recently just moved to the Eastern Idaho area, and have been to Stone's Kia twice in our short time here for oil changes. They are fast, and are very on time with their schedule. The service department receptionist is outstanding- friendly, out-going and very honest. It is almost like a family feel! We will be in this area for a few years still, and will never go anywhere else for our service. Their deals on oil changes can't be beat! Very impressed!!

The staff was all very friendly and extremely helpful. My salesman, Jeff, was very patient, had a great sense of humor, and evenly politely answered all of my questions, including the stupid ones, that I just had to ask. Everyone there helped me, made me feel welcome, and they were very driven to make sure I was both happy with my purchase and that I was taken care of. I will definitely recommend them to friends and family, and return again for the next vehicle upgrade.

We recently had and oil change and inspection on our Sorento. The inspection revealed that some additional service was needed, so we made an appointment; however, circumstances occurred that made it necessary to advance the appointment a few days. The service department accommodated us by fitting us in the next day, allowing us to make a long trip without worry. Both the oil change and other service were professional and efficient. Visiting the service department is always a pleasant experience. The workers are always helpful and friendly. It's like visiting old friends.
