As we mentioned last month here at Lithia Kia of Anchorage, our favorite automaker's commitment to education isn't something they take lightly. What can we say, giving back is just what they do, and with the school year starting up in just a few weeks, what better time than now to keep the giving going strong. Because when you've got a vehicle on your lot like the 2013 Kia Sportage, going back to school has never been easier.
Which bring us to our friends over at Kelley Blue Book: a group of individuals who certainly know a thing or two about back-to-school shopping. So much so, in fact, that they recently compiled a list of what they consider to be the 10 Best Back-to-School Cars of 2013. Each model-year vehicle that they considered was evaluated according to how they meet the needs of both parents and students as they get ready for a brand new year of academics and extracurriculars. So when the 2013 Sportage was honored as one the elite few, it was enough to make us want to re-enroll.
Needless to say, our higher-ups were pretty psyched about it as well.
"Kelley Blue Book's recognition of the Sportage . . . validates Kia's competitive presence within the ever-growing compact CUV segment," says Michael Sprague, executive vice president of marketing and communications at Kia Motors America. "And given [Kia's] commitment to education . . . to have Sportage named as a back-to-school favorite is a great honor."1
So if you're looking for a hand during this back-to-school shuffle, the Sportage awaits you at our dealership here in Anchorage, AK. Because, honestly, who couldn't use a hand?
