The Kia Sportage 1.6 GDi ISG 2 ? A Sensible and Rather Good SUV.
Now, if you?re after a car that doesn?t shout, doesn?t try too hard, and just gets on with the job in a thoroughly competent manner, then allow me to introduce you to the Kia Sportage Estate 1.6 GDi ISG 2 5dr.
Under the bonnet, you get a 1.6-litre GDi petrol engine. It?s not trying to be a race car, but it delivers a perfectly adequate 130 horsepower?enough to move you and your family along without any unnecessary fuss. And thanks to Kia?s ISG (Intelligent Stop & Go) system, it?s quite efficient, too.
Step inside, and you?ll find a well-built, practical interior with all the things you actually need?Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a reversing camera, and cruise control. The seats are comfortable, the boot is spacious, and the driving position is just right. It?s all very, well? sensible.
And because this is a Kia, it comes with a 7-year warranty, which is about the most James May thing ever?a sign that it?s built properly and will keep going for years without any faff.
So, if you want an SUV that?s practical, reliable, and does exactly what it says on the tin, this is the one. No gimmicks, no nonsense?just a thoroughly decent car.
