Sportage 2021

Nervous buying without testing more alternatives but after 18 months: not a single unplanned shop visit. Safety features have intervened twice on the motorway. Comfortable on long journeys, easy to park. Everything you want.

The automatic emergency braking has triggered unexpectedly three times, which was frightening. Dealer has be…

Forty miles each way, five days a week. The 2021 Kia Sportage makes what should be a miserable commute genuinely enjoyable. The seats stay comfortable across the full journey, the adaptive cruise control works brilliantly on the motorway, and the fuel costs are very reasonable. After 25,000 miles I'…
