The 2018 Kia Sportage is a great example of why crossovers that combine SUV styling with the running costs of a hatchback have become so popular. CarGurus UK Editor Chris Knapman gets behind the wheel of the latest model to find out what's made it such a success.

The CarGurus verdict
The Sportage is a very attractive proposition for anyone looking at a mid-size SUV. There are lots of them available in lots of different configurations, they have a good reliability record and even if you have problems, the chances are high that Kia’s excellent seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty will still be in effect.
Sure, there are cars that are more engaging to drive, or a bit nicer inside, or have a little bit more space. But there aren’t many that do such a good job in all areas and for such a reasonable price. Kia has attracted thousands of satisfied customers with the Sportage, and we’d be pretty confident that if you can find the right used example - one that has managed to withstand the rigours of being a family runabout - you’ll join them.
