“This is the best Kia Sportage yet. It looks sensational inside and out and does the family-friendly stuff really well. But can it beat the all-conquering Tucson? There are some areas where it’s better, others where it’s not. But Kia needs to sharpen its pencil on prices and deals.”

“The Kia Sportage combines bold eye-catching looks with plenty of engine options, trim levels and technology. Closely related to the Hyundai Tucson, the Sportage is a little more affordable to get into with a broader engine range and Kia’s signature seven-year warranty.”

“The Kia Sportage PHEV promises to be one of the better choices in the segment, thanks to its very competitive EV range, strong value and generally pleasant demeanour.”

“All told, the entry-level Kia Sportage is a convincing act. It’s spacious enough and well mannered; and while it was never going to be some great entertainer, its manual gearbox and neat handling offer a degree of driving pleasure that you normally struggle to unearth in this class.”

“Fifth-generation compact SUV does refinement, handling precision, technology, space and alternative style well (if you like the new look). Hybrid powertrain lacks a little versatility and has pretty average economy, though.”

“There’s no mistaking that the Kia Sportage is now appealingly upmarket in its appearance, powertrain, tech and perceived quality. The problem is that its price has gone up, too. You can get a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for less than a Sportage HEV, and the PHEV makes the Ford Kuga and VW Tiguan equivalents look cheap.”

“As a family SUV, the Kia Sportage ticks all the right boxes. It’s roomy, well-made, impressively equipped, and efficient in the case of the hybrids. Avoid the really expensive versions and you’ll be left with a seriously appealing crossover.”

“Rather than bringers of joy, family SUVs are carriers of joy and in that respect the Kia Sportage will do very nicely. While its fuel consumption might not be the best, the long warranty is and that’s reflected in the PCP leasing rates.”

“The Kia Sportage is a great all-round family SUV that offers a generous amount of space for four and in the boot, with one of best interiors in its class. Despite the Hyundai Tucson being a slightly cheaper route into a hybrid family SUV, we reckon the Sportage is the slightly more polished alternative.”
