Kia Sportage Cars
The Kia Sportage is a sleek and stylish SUV that offers a comfortable ride, plenty of features and technology, and an efficient engine. It's perfect for families or those who need a vehicle with lots of space.
Under the hood, the Sportage boasts a 1.6-litre petrol engine that produces 130 horsepower and 119 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission, depending on the trim level. Fuel economy is impressive at around 44 mpg on the combined cycle.
Inside the cabin, passengers are treated to ample head and legroom in both rows. The seats are supportive and comfortable, making long journeys more enjoyable. The dashboard layout is intuitive and easy to use, with all controls within easy reach of the driver.
Safety features are plentiful on the Sportage as well, with all models coming equipped with six airbags, ABS brakes, traction control, stability control, hill-start assist, lane departure warning system (LDWS), forward collision warning (FCW), and autonomous emergency braking (AEB).
In terms of driving experience in UK conditions, the Sportage handles well thanks to its agile suspension setup. The steering is responsive but not overly heavy which makes it easier to maneuver through narrow city streets or winding country roads.
Practicality wise the Kia Sportage has a boot capacity of 491 litres which can be expanded up to 1,480 litres by folding down the rear seats if you need to carry larger items. Additionally, roof rails come standard so you can transport additional items such as bikes or kayaks if needed.
Overall, the Kia Sportage offers a well-rounded package for UK drivers who want a spacious and practical SUV that doesn't sacrifice comfort or style.
