No point in pretending otherwise – the Kia Sportage is not the most exciting SUV on the market and driving it is unlikely to raise adrenalin levels. It does, however, come very well-equipped from entry level up, and has the affordability factor along with Kia’s standard very generous warranty. Essentially a family vehicle with bags of cabin and stowage space; and sufficiently competitive with its main rivals – the Ford Kuga, Nissan Qashqai and VW Tiguan – for Kia to be confident of its place in the league of crossover models currently on offer.
