Find your perfect Sportage

Cars available now

The 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 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.
