Kia Sportage Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Wide range of powertrains	Divisive styling
Superb infotainment	Ford Kuga is better to drive
Well equipped	Top-spec models are very pricey

Quick Summary

The Kia Sportage, updated in 2025, is Kia's best-selling SUV, offering petrol, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains across three trim levels. It boasts impressive practicality with generous luggage space (up to 591 litres) and comfortable room for passengers, including adjustable rear backrests. Quality and fit-and-finish are high, with ample storage throughout the cabin, making it a functional family vehicle.

On the road, the Sportage delivers a sensible balance of comfort and engagement, with a smooth ride at all speeds and keen cornering. It offers good refinement, making it a great long-distance cruiser. Technology is a strong point, with all post-facelift models featuring a 12.3-inch central infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a host of active safety systems. Running costs are respectable, with hybrids achieving 40-45mpg and strong residual values, further enhanced by Kia's seven-year warranty.

Best for: Drivers seeking a strong all-rounder family SUV with excellent practicality, generous equipment, and a well-judged balance of comfort and handling.

Not ideal for: Buyers who find the styling divisive, prioritise ultimate driving dynamics (like a Ford Kuga), or are sensitive to the high price of top-spec models.
