The model
Read full reviewThe 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. The Sportage still makes the most sense if you stick with the lower trim levels, but despite the Hyundai Tucson being a slightly cheaper route into a hybrid family SUV, we reckon the Sportage is the slightly more polished alternative.
The trim
See full equipmentThe 3 trim could be the sweet spot in the range, with 18-inch alloy wheels, a 12.3inch touchscreen and 12.3inch digital instrument cluster. There's also a heated steering wheel, heated front and rear seats, electric front seats and part-leather seating.
The engine
See full engine specsThis self-charging hybrid combines a 1.6 T-GDI petrol engine with an electric motor and 1.49kWh battery. Power is a combined output of 226bhp and is fitted with a six-speed automatic only. Drive is sent to the front wheels, but a four-wheel drive option is available on top-spec GT Line S.
