The model
Read full Kia Sportage reviewThe Kia Sportage offers a generous amount of space front and rear, plus a large boot and one of the best interiors in its class. The entry-level mild-hybrid petrol engine is our pick, and while our favourite 3 trim you get loads of equipment, even the entry-level trims make a lot of sense compared with pricier rivals. The Hyundai Tucson is competitively priced, but the Sportage is a more polished alternative.
The trim
See full equipmentThis sportier trim level adds some extra style, with 18in or 19in alloy wheels (depending on the engine) and exterior tweaks. It also upgrades the infotainment screen to a 12.3in one with built-in sat-nav and adds adaptive cruise control, driver lumbar support, suede leather upholstery and keyless entry/start.
The engine
See full engine specsThe entry-level 1.6-litre petrol engine offers 148bhp and sprints from 0-62mph in 9.9sec. It should offer sufficient performance for pretty much any situation, even if it may need working hard to get up to speed.
