What features does the Kia Sportage have?

Your used Kia Sportage will come equipped with features that make everyday life run smoother.    

You’ll love the luxurious feel of the interior, with car tech that includes a built-in navigation system, an upgraded speaker setup and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in our top-of-the-line models.    

You can also grab a panoramic sunroof in some of our Sportage models, plus heated front seats.    

There are practical touches like the chunky rear boot (usually around 439 litres, and 1,428 litres if you drop the rear seats) and the added storage throughout the cabin.    

Despite all the tech and extra features, the Sportage still feels nimble on the roads – it’s the perfect kitted-out, practical SUV.    

Is the Kia Sportage reliable?

The used Kia Sportage has scored incredibly well in consumer surveys for reliability across the board. Incredibly, Kia offers a seven-year (or 100,000-mile) warranty on the Sportage – so even a used model is likely to be covered.   

How much does the Kia Sportage cost to run?

SUVs are typically more expensive to run than smaller hatchbacks because they’re less aerodynamic, but Kia’s efficient engines make that difference far less noticeable in the case of any Kia Sportage for sale. 

Furthermore, long-lasting components and affordable parts means maintenance should be cheap. 

Who is the Kia Sportage suitable for?

A used Kia Sportage is a great option for a practical SUV that’s also gorgeously designed. The engine options are impressive and offer just enough power to keep you excited to drive, but not so much that it feels over the top. 

The Sportage is a great pick for families who need extra space and some premium features without the premium price tag. 

Its main rivals include the Hyundai Tucson, Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.
