Kia’s Sportage is one of the South Korean manufacturers models that has continued to grow in popularity over the years. From cheap-and-cheerful 4×4 to perfect family transport, this SUV has never stopped improving since it’s launch way back in 1993.
Today, it’s not only Kia’s best-selling model, but also the fifth best-selling car overall in the UK, with the fifth-generation Sportage, launched earlier in 2022, helping to boost this growth.
There’s no underestimating just what a step up this Sportage is compared to its predecessor. In the mainstream segment, it arguably has the best interior, offering loads of interior space and comparatively generous equipment levels.
Kia provides regular petrol and diesel powertrains in the Sportage lineup, with 48V mild-hybrid versions also included in the range. The 148bhp 1.6 T-GDi petrol unit is available with a six-speed manual gearbox, or a seven-speed DCT automatic transmission, while the 1.6 CRDi diesel is offered with a choice of outputs: a 113bhp version paired with the six-speed manual ‘box, or a 134bhp variant matched with the seven-speed automatic.
The Sportage comes with the same 7-year, 100,000 mile warranty cover as all the rest of Kia's cars.
