Quick Summary

The Kia Sportage, updated in 2025, is Kia's best-selling SUV in the UK, renowned for its bold styling and strong all-round appeal in the highly competitive family SUV market. It offers generous luggage space (up to 591 litres) and ample passenger room, with a practical interior featuring an adjustable height boot floor and 40:20:40 split-fold rear seats. Quality and fit-and-finish are impressive, with thoughtful storage solutions throughout.

Driving dynamics balance comfort and engagement, making it a well-rounded and refined long-distance cruiser. Post-facelift models come with a 12.3-inch central infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a host of active safety features, offering excellent value in terms of standard equipment. Available with petrol, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains, the hybrid model offers good fuel economy (40-45mpg) and strong performance, backed by Kia's seven-year warranty.

Best for: Families seeking a practical, well-equipped, and comfortable SUV with a strong warranty, good tech, and efficient hybrid options.

Not ideal for: Buyers who prefer a more driver-focused experience (like a Ford Kuga) or those sensitive to "divisive styling" and the higher price of top-spec models.
