Kia has revealed pricing for its new Sportage SUV, which goes on sale next year as the follow up to the firm’s best-selling model in the UK.
The model features the widest range of powertrains offered by the South Korean company, with mild hybrid, hybrid, petrol and diesel versions all available at launch, with a plug-in hybrid coming later.

On the outside, the new Sportage gets a completely overhauled appearance for its fifth generation and has been designed solely for the European market, with boot space, headroom and legroom all said to be substantially increased from before.

Standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, parking sensors with a reversing camera, and cruise control. Inside there’s an eight-inch infotainment display with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, too.
Around the middle of the range is the ‘3’ trim, which brings 18-inch alloy wheels, a 12.3-inch digital dials display and 12.3-inch infotainment screen, cloth and leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, smart cruise control and LED fog lamps.
