  • Stylish and Smart

    The Kia Sportage caught my attention mainly for its looks. It feels much more premium than its price suggests. Once inside, the design is sleek, the seats are comfy, and the tech is easy to use. The engine is smooth enough for city and highway, though it’s not meant for heavy off-roading. The boot space is good for a small family’s needs, and the safety features like lane assist and parking sensors really add confidence. It’s economical to run too. If you’re after something stylish that doesn’t compromise on features, Sportage balances it all nicely.

  • Good City and highway SUV

    The Kia Sportage has a good performance with a powerful engine of 136 and 197 horsepower and torque from 192 to 320 Nm. Kia is offering the Sportage with automatic transmission, it is available in both front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. Going from 0-100 km/h takes 8 to 11 seconds, it is a high speed SUV with top speed of 220 km/h. The best part is the mileage, with company claims of up ro 13 km, means lower running cost. I consider the Sportage as a reasonable size, price and a practical car for anyone in UAE looking for fun at economical running cost.

  • Best for family

    The Sportage with its key advantages in power, performance and space is a best, most suitable SUV for families looking for a capable car. Right from the 2L engine, great power and torque of 152hp and 192 Nm, respectively, it combines practicality and performance. The cabin is spacious, comfy and packed with features that are above segment, and you feel a lot relaxed so good for long drives along with the boot space for huge storage. Kia is offering a number of safety features on the Sportage, which is kind of standard in the competition as everyone expects them to be. I would remind the Sportage of anyone looking for a best price family SUV.

  • Dropped at the last moment

    We almost finalized the Sportage but at the last moment dropped the idea and went with Creta. The Sportage is a good SUV with a lot going on, but when we saw the new Creta, test drove it and compared with it, it came as too cheaper and more practical than the Sportage. So, yes, even though we have nothing going against the Sportage, we selected Creta. But anyone has a higher budget should consider the Sportage as it has a bigger engine, space and better options to choose.

  • Extremely quiet and handles nicely

    The Kia Sportage has surpassed my expectations. Despite many owners criticizing its limited cargo space, I was easily able to fit a large bookshelf. The SUV is very quiet, with enjoyable driving dynamics and smooth handling. Gas mileage is exceptional in its segment, reaching on highways up to 28 mpg. The top-notch safety features offer immense peace of mind while driving, though the cross-traffic alert when reversing can be inconsistent. The seats are very comfortable, and visibility is excellent. The Kia Sportage nails comfort and practicality effortlessly.

  • Compact crossover SUV from the stable of Kia

    I always cherish driving crossovers. This time I wanted to get further experimental and decided to bag this very popular compact crossover SUV from the ever-esteemed brand, Kia. This model will brighten your life for being so spacious and versatile alongside. The sleek style of this car is so very attention grabbing as well. You get such a competent model at such an affordable price tag. Overall, this appeared to be a very lovely proposition to me and I decided to opt for this car. If I have to compare the same with its rivals this model may appear to be way fashion forward too.

  • Nice MUV with a good engine

    The Sportage from KIA is a pretty cool car and considering it is a KIA model, there are plenty of features and added benefits of owning this car. The performance is certainly good with a powerful and reliable engine under the hood. The car is a nice combination of good features and reliable performance for families. It has great safety features that make the ride safe regardless whether you are driving or any other member of your family. The ground clearance of this car is not that good, but I don’t live in a downtrodden area, so it doesn’t affect me much.

  • Very unsafe and unreliable

    I would give the Kia Sportage zero stars as my experience with it has been a nightmare since the first day of my ownership journey. Just six weeks into this car’s ownership, it exhibited a malfunction while my son took it for a drive on the freeway. The car suddenly started decelerating to a low speed of 30 mph, placing his life in grave danger. I visited the dealership multiple times and exhaustive diagnostic tests were conducted on my car but they failed to identify any issues. However, the issue still persisted, leading to another serious incident on the highway with a long wait for roadside assistance.

It offers optimum cargo space giving you the flexibility to pack all the essential cargo while going out for weekend adventures or road trips.

  • A feature-rich small crossover

    The market is flooded with small crossovers, but I purchased the Kia Sportage because I wanted to try something new and exciting that stood out from the rest. Have put 15000 miles on this car, and I love everything about it. Its bolder bodywork is bigger than before and offers tons of cargo space. The interior layout is intuitive, and the seats are well-padded. The only thing that disappoints me is that the ride is tougher than expected in the SX Turbo model.
