The Kia Sportage came into existence in 1993 sharing its underpinnings with the Mazda Bongo SUV. Meanwhile, the second generation deviated from this and was largely based on the popular Hyundai Tucson. In its fifth-generation avatar, the Sportage is still based on the Tucson!
It is a stylish crossover that can stand above a multitude of rivals with its roomy interior, generous equipment levels and affordable prices. Newer generations of the Kia Sportage will also still be covered by Kia’s class-leading 7-year, 100,000-mile warranty that is fully transferable between owners. Look out for mild-hybrid diesel models for the best efficiency, too. The Sportage has huge appeal with families and one of the reasons why it is Kia’s most popular new car in the UK.
When looking at a used Kia Sportage, it’s important to check that the car has been serviced on time. Many Sportage models cover mixed driving, so it’s worth listening for any suspension noise and making sure the steering feels consistent on a test drive. Also check if the clutch engages smoothly on manual. Inside, ensure the infotainment system responds properly and that features such as the reversing camera, parking sensors and climate control operate as expected.
