Kia Sportage Crossover 2.0 XS 4WD 5dr

For The petrol versions of the Sportage undercut the equivalent diesel model by some way. And, this XS-trimmed model wants for little in the way of equipment. Even leather upholstery is standard.

Against Specifying the top trim puts this into the same price bracket as a diesel Sportage. And, if you want a 4x4, you should really be thinking of choosing a diesel engine.

3 out of 5 stars

For the same money, you can get into a four-wheel drive diesel model - albeit with less kit - and that's what we'd recommend you do.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Sportage may be the smaller relative of the Sorento in the Kia line-up, but there's one thing about it that's as big: its warranty. The Sportage has a seven-year warranty, although for that to remain valid, the car must have an annual bodywork inspection - and you may need to pay for that.

The Sportage also differs from the Sorento in offering a two-wheel drive version, with Crossover looks, if not 4x4 ability, and lower running costs.

However, we think buying such a car is largely pointless, so our favourite model is the cheapest 4WD version. It comes with a nice and powerful diesel engine (there is a petrol alternative, but only in a 2WD model) and plenty of equipment, as well as a good blend of on- and off-road abilities.
