Kia Sportage

The already good-looking Sportage just got better. The first thing to catch your eyes is the large daytime running LED headlights which give the all-new Sportage a distinctive look. A striking road presence has also been created thanks to sharp exterior lines which help to amplify the all-new Sportage's design cues.

Stepping inside, all occupants are greeted with a state-of-the-art interior that showcases Kia's development. As the first Sportage to have a European-specific version, the interior is crafted in a way that is more in-tune with the ergonomics of the European market. As part of this design, there is more head and legroom than previous generations, as well as a 12.3-inch touchscreen to increase connectivity, functionality, and usability.

The all-new Sportage also delivers in the department of boot space. 591 litres come as standard, but fold down the 40:20:40 split-rear seats and this will increase to a staggering 1,780 litres of space.

Coming in a variety of configurations, the all-new Sportage is available with state-of-the-art hybrid powertrains as well as low-emission internal combustion engines, to increase fuel economy and decrease running costs.

The range starts with a 1.6-litre mild hybrid petrol engine that produces either 148bhp or 178bhp depending upon specification. The next step up in terms of power is the full hybrid powertrain that combines both the power of the 1.6-litre internal combustion engine with that of the electric motor to generate 227bhp. Rounding off the hybrids is the plug-in hybrid which generates an eye-watering 265bhp.

Kia have also ensured efficient diesel power remains by offering a 1.6-litre diesel engine with either 113bhp if going for a manual, or 134bhp with automatic transmission. The latter is also available with mild-hybrid technology to increase economy even further.
