Kia Sportage

The Sportage has been an SUV favourite for some time but the latest model adds to the driving fun. With production moved from Korea to Europe, to reduce shipping times and delivery levels of CO2, the Sportage has been given a Euro ‘make-over’ to improve driving dynamics. With the new range expanded to 10 models, with the addition of two wheel drive versions, Kia expects to sell around 6,000 units a year in the UK. The introduction of the front wheel drive only versions is Kia’s answer to customers buying patterns and tastes. The front-wheel-drive model has better fuel economy and CO2 emissions figures than its comparable four-wheel-drive counterpart. A diesel automatic transmission is also being offered for the first time as standard on two-wheel-drive diesel versions of the Sportage.

For the 2008 model year, the Sportage gains body-colour bumpers as standard, larger door mirrors to comply with new EU regulations, a revised front grille, black-bezel headlamps and new designs of 16-inch alloy wheels (XE and XS versions). In isolation they may appear to be small changes, but they add an extra veneer of class to a car that continues to appeal because of its genuine 4x4 styling. With a choice of three engines – a 2.7 litre V6, a 2 litre petrol and a 138bhp 2 litre diesel, it’s the last of these that’s likely to be the default choice. The front-wheel-drive-only diesel Sportage is only available with a four-speed automatic transmission.

Ergonomically, the Sportage pays great attention to detail. Major and minor controls...
