Kia Sportage (2022-present) 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 (2022-present) is the UK's best-selling SUV, accounting for around 40 per cent of all Kia registrations. The latest generation was launched in 2022 and updated in 2025, offering petrol, hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains across three well-specified trim levels: Pure, GT-Line and GT-Line S. It delivers impressive practicality with boot space ranging from 587 to 591 litres, generous storage throughout, and a spacious interior with comfortable rear-seat legroom. The quality of materials and fit and finish are impressive by class standards, with a wide range of Kia accessories available to enhance functionality.

The Sportage strikes a sensible balance between comfort and driver engagement, offering a comfortable ride at all speeds with plentiful grip and keen cornering. The hybrid model is particularly popular, delivering 235bhp with seamless EV and petrol power switching, whilst the entry-level 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol offers 147bhp. All versions feature a 12.3-inch infotainment screen (post-facelift), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED headlights, parking sensors and comprehensive active safety systems. Running costs are respectable, with hybrid models achieving 40-45mpg and strong residual values, though higher-spec models incur premium vehicle excise duty. Kia's seven-year warranty provides reassuring peace of mind.

Best for: Families seeking a practical, well-equipped SUV with multiple powertrain options, those prioritising technology and comfort, and buyers wanting strong warranty coverage.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising sharp driving dynamics (Ford Kuga is sportier), buyers with divisive styling preferences, or those seeking budget-friendly top-spec models.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Sportage if: You're seeking a practical, well-equipped family SUV with multiple powertrain options, prioritising technology and comfort, or wanting strong warranty coverage.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise sharp driving dynamics, have divisive styling preferences, or seek budget-friendly top-spec models.

Competitive Position: The Kia Sportage (2022-present) is one of the strongest all-rounders in the family SUV class, standing out with bold styling, a smart interior and generous practicality. Its superb infotainment, well-integrated technology and comprehensive equipment levels across all specifications make it highly competitive. Whilst rivals like the Ford Kuga offer sharper driving dynamics and the Hyundai Tucson shares the same platform, the Sportage's well-judged balance of ride comfort and handling, combined with Kia's reassuring seven-year warranty and multiple powertrain choices, make it an easy family SUV to recommend. It faces more rivals than ever before, but remains the UK's best-selling SUV for good reason.
