More recently the manufacturer has introduced a raft of electrified powertrains to further boost its appeal with customers looking to reduce day-to-day running costs, and the fifth-generation Sportage SUV is the latest model to benefit from mild, full and plug-in hybrid technology across its range. Kia has a successful history of producing capable family cars, built with practicality, efficiency and reliability firmly in mind.
The Sportage doesn’t provide that much entertainment out on the road, but then that’s missing the point comfort and refinement are excellent, while Kia has added extra practical touches to make its best-selling SUV even easier to live with. Elsewhere, the Sportage has been improved in all the right areas – there’s more passenger room, a bigger boot, a stunning new infotainment system and a choice of efficient hybrid engines, including plug-in technology for the first time. The sharp, ultra-modern look of the Kia Sportage is a bold move from the Korean manufacturer, but one that should at least help its family SUV stand out from a slew of all-too familiar rivals.
