The Sportage is Kia's hugely popular mid-size SUV. So popular, in fact, that the Korean manufacturer's leading model has topped UK sales charts in recent times. Why? Well, the Sportage is now long enough in the tooth (the first model came out in 1995) that the fourth- (2016-2021) and fifth-gen (2021 onwards) models are incredibly refined packages, while still offering the exceptional value Kia has long been known for. It's well equipped, and plenty spacious and practical for family use. Plus, the styling has got notably more adventurous as time has gone on. Opt for a fifth-gen model and you'll get a boldly designed, muscular SUV that fits right in with the premium names in the segment.
