What to know
The Sportage tracks almost exactly with Kia's overall brand average of 75.2%, sitting comfortably above the national average. Given the Sportage is regularly among the UK's two or three best-selling cars overall, not just within Kia's own range, this is a reassuringly large and representative sample rather than a small dataset that could be skewed.
The Sportage is available across an unusually wide range of powertrains, including a plug-in hybrid, which is worth checking specifically when comparing used examples, since running costs and green zone or ULEZ compliance differ meaningfully between them.
