Recently I was looking up a list of the most popular cars on sale in Britain today - and I found that a KIA had made its way into the top ten. The Sportage makes up 35% of sales for the Korean brand, so just what about it has such universal appeal? Let's take a closer look

I've just recently bought a 2017 Sportage to replace a Seat Leon FR as our family car, as my missus wanted something taller and easier for getting kids in and out. I was dubious but I am surprised at how good a car it is and how much it actually comes with. It's a '2' and has pretty much all you need. Cruise control, lane assist, auto lights and wipers, android auto and apple car play, reversing cam and sensors and still has 4 years warranty. We looked at a Qashqai, but in my work I see a lot of them broken down so their reliability is questionable.

4 years later and I'm in a similar situation. Currently have a 3 door Leon FR 1.4 TSI and have a baby on the way and my other half wants something more upright and the Sportage is most likely what we'll get. I hope you would still recommend now.

Just bought the GTLine (no sunroof or JBL) 1 month and 2500 miles and I am really growing to like it. Not a sports hatch or or GT express but comfy enough, with enough poke and good for a bit of rough - trailing that I have to do. Quality seems good enough and space is OK (its not the Alhambra that I used to have) Its a very respectable car at a great price point. I hope that the longevity is good

Cabin space is a priority for me too so hope something like this fits the bill. Also, I had a Renault Kadjar for a couple of days last summer while my VW Jetta had some emergency repairs and I really liked that too and thought it drove pretty well.

Didn't like the series 1 & 2 but loved it when the 3 & 4 were released. I advised my neighbour to replace his Tiguan with one when the time came and he's genuinely surprised and impressed with his series 3 and at his age now won't be parting with it. It's one of the very few that I would buy new as I don't normally advise new to the losses but I'd keep this long enough where that issue wouldn't matter.

Luckily consumer law was on my side at a full refund was finally given.

We owned a 2nd generation Sportage kx4 and it was a brilliant family car plus it looked good in comparison to the other models available. Regarding the AWD it was a selection switch in the car and was mostly used in 2wd but the wife felt safer switching on the AWD in poring rain on the back roads plus it was actually decent on the grassy fields up my mums farm road. Would have another but running an estate and a VW Caravelle at the moment, brilliant for 3 kids and both dogs plus all the shopping.

I used to have sporty hatches, gt's, ect ect.. But once you get to an age in life and a car becomes more a tool than a plaything your priorities change. As living in London is becoming more and more like a potholed speed humped car park is decided to go down the medium SUV route for comfort, bit of interior luxury and economy. So I bought a new Peugeot 3008 gt line 1.6 petrol and love it. Its perfect around town and bad roads, fully loaded and stress free. It's a market that's being used by people who want a comfortable 'luxury hatchback'..

People are too quick to give up and get a fat-mobile without even trying other options and it’s sad because the manufacturers can’t justify making fun affordable cars anymore. I admire James for being someone also into cabrio/low/sporty cars and still seeing merit in cars like this, I would be so rude if I made this video XD

It just seems to have everything and more I would want including good safety stuff. I think other brands really should open their eyes and just see what tremendous value the Sportage is and start to add all the safety stuff as standard and not have to opt for expensive add on packages etc. Good for you Kia.

You should probably add some test of the AWD or 4 wheel drive systems on the vehicles you test that have them. Maybe just run them off the road through a pasture or something. My greatest concern for having one would be how it handles in rain and severe wet along with snow. Yeah you don't get that much snow where you are but I might take this car on a ski trip. Good show otherwise.
@hughclinton
@hughclinton 2 жыл бұрын
I think your tyre choice, summer, all weather, winter or off road will be the main determinant of off road / snow behaviour for most cars not specifically designed for or fitted with more advanced transmissions or traction systems designed for serious or heavy duty off roading. That said, any car marketed as a 4wd of off roader should be tested on and capable of decent progress across a muddy field or wet grass. Not all can manage very much.

Great review, as always. However, there is one important point which James is missing here - UK roads - especially in more remote rural areas - getting FLOODED. It happens A LOT in UK Winters - and even Summers nowadays. The extra GROUND CLEARANCE which you get with an SUV is THE important point here. An SUV will often get through when a 'normal' car just won't. Speaking for myself, my work often takes me to various locations in more remote country areas and for me, an SUV is the way forward. Literally - rather than having to back up and then drive miles out of your way...

I owned the first generation Sportage from 1997-2001, one of the first in the US. That still was a RWD based vehicle which shifted into 4wd and it had a low range. It was not a great car. It leaned on corners, it was very slow, and rattled. Still, it was a good off-roady vehicle that is rare in the class today since all are crossovers. I wish the Suzuki Jimny was sold here.

Out selling the BMW 3 series isn't a shock to me. I'd rather have this over a BMW and I don't even like crossover fad.

I have a Stinger GT and run a small fleet of Ceratos. Superb cars, all of them, for their intended purpose. And here in Oz, the 7 year unlimited mileage warranty is win.

Much rather have this an any new BMW. Love Kias and Hyundais. No badge snobbery for a car that’s for sure. The 3 series has become a tedious snob trinket for people who love to think they are better than everyone else when they aren’t.

Have had one for three years now. So impressed with the vehicle and Kia's reliability and value for money I went out and bought my wife a Stinger GT for her birthday. It's six month on now and she still walks through the door with a big smile on her face. We often fight over whose turn it is to drive.

The rest....will have to match Kia's and Hyundai's warranty sooner or later...or face the consequences. Badge snobbery will not last forever.

Now I want #5thGear to crash test the Sportage against a Golf ! 40MPH 50/50 frontal to see whether or not you should have bought a Golf and really see if SUVs are safer !

Frog Rooster - Please, that old saw is so lame and lacking any basis in current real world order. Just Euro snobbery - and that’s a choice, but not a sign of any superiority in the life pecking order.

Duel clutch? hell no. cvts? (konas, Nissans) hell no! I have the old 6 speed diesel Sportage no issues. Test drove the new 8 speed didn't like. Hunted down & up gears Hwy speed slight incline.
