Kia Sportage; family car; class leader; good price; spacious: Kia Sportage Review & Road test

The Kia Sportage was a long-established and reasonably successful model in the South Korean manufacturer’s line-up before it was drastically re-modelled for its third generation in 2010. Until then, the line-up had featured worthy cars with lengthy warranties, but there was very little to get excited about. Then out of the blue comes what is a rather stunning looking family SUV.
Predictably, the Sportage flew out of showrooms, helping Kia more than double its sales over the following six years. However, as striking as that car was to gawp at, it was never particularly great to drive. This fourth-generation model is designed to fix that while building on the visual appeal of its predecessor and taking the sales battle to the likes of the Skoda Karoq, Nissan Qashqai and Seat Ateca. But does the latest Sportage deserve a place on your SUV shopping list? And if so, which version should you spend your money on, as there are 6 trims available for the Kia Sportage.

Awesome review, i currently have the Picanto GT Line S and it is lovely! Im looking at getting the New Kia CEED GT 2019 so if you can get your hands on one, please do a review!:) the ProCEED looks cool but i like the looks of the normal ceed!:D

[@wilkinsmicawber9541]

I have a 2017 Carens 1.7 diesel DCT (auto) for which I part-exed last September a serviced up to date, 2012 VW Touran 1.6SE DSG. The Kia is thirsty compared to the Touran, I get 39MPG on a run in the KIa, in the Touran I used to get 58MPG but I do not regret my decision one bit; here's why. In two years the Touran had a water-pump, an ABS pump, and EGR valve and finally, the DSG gearbox packed up. I discovered later the particular box in mine (DQ200) is now covered by a 70,000 mile 'good will' warranty. my gear box failed at 71,000. And what problems has my Kia given me? None, Nada. I drive blissfully free of the dreaded orange dash lights. I made the switch when collecting the Touran from our local city auto gearbox specialist after the gearbox failed and finding one had arrived with the same fault codes as mine, and learning it was the third VW with those codes in two months. I asked him what makes he 'didn't see. He said, 'not many, far eastern, and never seen a Kia or Suzuki'. That did it for me, I was down to the Kia dealer the following day praying the pesky Volskwagen would hold together long enough for me to make the swap. I'm not saying this is 'evidential' or anything, but it worked for me. The Carens by the way is a peach to drive and ride in, bar for the non-height adjustable passenger seat, which I fixed with four longer seat-bolts and piece of 200mm steel box section sawed into 1 and 1/8th " lengths.

I bought a 2017 had it for 6 months and the Motor Blew. Come to find out the 2.4 has a recall on all Motors with a certain VIN and mine was on the list.

Great review. Perhaps you could do more to remind viewers what badge of the model you're reviewing. I got excited about this car, as someone who was considering a Sportage, only to find this particular Sportage is well above my budget. The one I will be buying next week is missing a lot of the best features of this one.

A great car .I've just picked up a brand new 2021 spec 1600 petrol. It's suberb....I had a Honda crv before and yes they are built to last but for the price difference this has to be a better deal..£23:000 for the equivalent Honda it was £29:000. I test drove them both and liked the feel of the Kia more...the decision was easy.

I had a 2015 Sportage and other than it’s heavy fuel consumption liked it, last year I traded it in for a Peugeot 3008 GT and what a great decision it was, so much more refined, beautiful cabin and lots of tech. Test drove the new Sportage and was not that impressed.

Nice review! 😁 Ware 👍👍

[@unasistent]

So what model is this car?what trim? With all that?

[@julianhowes3622]

Currently have the 1.7 Kia Sportage CDTI and am considering something different because of one feature that no reviewer has picked up on......unless you purchase the premium model, the front passenger seat ( which is not height adjustable ) sits a lot lower than the drivers seat which does not provide the passenger with the same visability and experience. This also applies to the Hyundai Tucson, so based on your reviews, I am looking at the Nissan X Trail.

[@AJThePlayerYouTubeChannel]

Great comment and now noted on the passenger seat!

[@cityboy9301]

Dodgy clutches on X trails.and a bugger of a job to change it.

[@coops1964]

Have one myself and was getting only 31 mpg in winter. Then I thought about it. A Range Rover Evoque costing twice as much with less kit would only realistically get similar. It is what it is.

[@jmw0368]

I have the 2.0 CRDi GTs (turbo diesel) automatic. It’s solid and dependable, never let me down, BUT I can confirm the fuel consumption is diabolical (24 mpg around town and no more than 35 mpg on motorway). Also, I agree with others who’ve said why on earth do they put the low-level lights (indicators, etc) down there? Crazy design!

[@jeff1595]

Yes and there halogen indicators which or even harder to see then the led indicators on the front kinda stupid design

[@richiedewen9289]

I got the 2019 1.6 T-GDI AWD in February and its a blinding bit of kit, 174bhp turbo petrol engine really does crack on, Fuel consumption after nearly 2800 miles is averaging 34mpg so not too shabby for a large car with a relatively small engine. My one gripe is with the thing you liked and that's the lip less boot opening, Yeah granted its great for loading heavy cases into the boot, But its not so great at stopping bottles rolling out and smashing on the drive, Especially as it was a £60 bottle of single malt! ;-( Really cant find anything else I don't like about it.

[@AJThePlayerYouTubeChannel]

I must admit if my £60 bottle of scotch rolled out and fell on the floor I wouldn’t be happy! I suppose they could put velcro tabs in the rest up support the alcoholic purchases during travels lol

Thanks have been trying to find out a real world figure for one of these prior to ordering. I agree low 30mpg is not good enough considering i get almost that from my xc60 d5 R with perminant AWD. may have to go for the smaller engine but the tiguan seems to get really good mpg.

Not for me but I can see why the sell so well. Fuel economy is largely dependent on how you drive it so I will take that comment on notice. The lack of a memory function on the seats though is a almost disturbing when you consider the feature set of this car.

[@skippysdead]

I have this model in Australia, a 2019 GT line with a 2.4 petrol engine. The spec is virtually the same as yours; excellent car especially the Korean tyres which wasn't the case on a previous Sportage eight years ago. My only criticisms are, no front seat memory and no dipping of the passenger's mirror for parking. However, worst of all is the appalling lack of torque with the 2.4 petrol engine - I spend all my time paddling! I do recommend the Sportage but only in 2 litre diesel format, which is our choice in Aust. We also have fixed price servicing - brilliant. Mine makes a very good town car but it's diesel for everything else. Fuel consumption is 10.6 litres/100km, awful, dropping to 8/100 on a trip.

I would have no hesitation in buying a Sportage but for one dangerous failure that all Sportages suffer from.Why oh why,do they insist on placing the rear indicators,as low as possible i,e, on the bloody bumper.It's madness! You need to ensure the following driver can see that you are turning so the common sense place to put the turn signals is as high as possible,is it not?

[@aaronbraich6262]

Because it was primarily for the north American market where the whole light assembly flashes in the same colour (red). This is the difference between Kia and other manufactures. Others are more well versed in variances in global legislation and have plenty of resource to throw into r&d before getting too far and then slapping them on where there is space.

[@muckspreader1able]

Maybe you shouldn't drive then.When driving you should be looking at all the road.

[@leetronix]

The 1.6 is a lot less powerful. You did not even mention about the fact it is a mild hybrid on the 2.0 diesel at 48v and talk about the info system and the live internet connection etc. The other feature it misses in memory seats or lack of and its only a 4way lumbar. You said you were going to talk about the 8 speed gear box but never did and as for the MPG its based on how you drive the car ie fast slow or in-between as it adjusts the fuel spent. The boot also has a remote opening from the key fob and also opens if you stand behind the boot with the key in your pocket after 3 beeps. You did not show the panoramic roof and did not mention it was electric slide and tilt with wind guard. Did not mention that all lights were LED not just the daylight ones. Did not show the 3D camera and that it has reverse warning collision, and skimmed over the other features in a sentence. Has auto dimming centre mirror. On the whole this was a poor video.

I drove one when my car was in for service. I think "value" and "SUV" do not go together. Often the SUV will get you, at the same price, a vehicle one or two sizes down from the car of the same price. My Skoda Octavia 1.5 SEL is the same price as the Sportage base 1.6 petrol "2" variant. The Sportage has a higher driving position and marginally more head room. The disadvantages are: Less power More fuel consumption Less space (you can put a bike in the Octavia flat down) Poor interior quality (Octavia is on another level) Worse fuel consumption No LED lights No automatic braking The experience of driving the Sportage was, in relation to noise, controls, power, touch of all interior materials, was clearly inferior. I would urge anyone purchasing an SUV to try the equivalently priced hatchback.

Watch Scotty Kilner video on Kia’s, I wish I had before I bought one of these pieces of shit, my old Ford Kuga was by far a better car than one of these.

Looks Cheap

[@TheBlaert]

Pieces of scrap. Have had more Kia's and Hyundais in my garage to fix than enough. Sick looking at them. Cheap and nasty

[@MothershipVideos]

@@TheBlaert OK sorry

[@TheBlaert]

@@MothershipVideos no worries. Newer ones might be better
