Kia Sportage review | Auto Express

Both engine options are available across three trim levels: Pure, GT-Line and GT-Line S. 

No Sportage is poorly equipped, and the Pure trim kicks things off with:

• 17-inch alloy wheels
• A 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus sat-nav
• Front and rear parking sensors plus a reversing camera
• Lane keep assistance
• Adaptive cruise control

Our preferred GT-Line trim is around £2,500 more than the Pure trim (depending upon which engine you go for), but adds a more desirable and sportier appearance package both inside and out, along with:

• Heated front seats
• Heated steering wheel
• Privacy glass

Finally, the range-topping GT-Line S trim is up to a whopping £5,200 more than an equivalent GT-Line model, and includes luxuries such as:

• Adaptive LED headlights
• A panoramic glass sunroof
• Electric front seats with ventilation and driver’s seat memory settings
• An electric tailgate
• An eight-speaker Harman Kardon sound system
• A head-up display
• Wireless phone charging

​​Comfort is the Kia Sportage’s key strength. This family SUV is able to deal effectively with bumps in the road and reduce unpleasant jolts intruding into the cabin, although the compromise is that there’s a feeling that you’re not as well connected to the road as you would be in sportier alternatives.

Performance, 0-60mph acceleration and top speed

Every model features a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The entry-level, non-hybrid version produces 147bhp and is paired with a simple six-speed manual gearbox, or an optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox like what was fitted to our prototype test car.
