5 Safety Features to Look for in Your Next Car
Highlighted as one of the most popular and versatile SUVs of the moment, it’s no wonder you often see a Kia Sportage driving down the road. So, what is it about the Sportage that makes it such a popular choice for drivers, and should you consider buying a Kia Sportage for your next vehicle?
Here we take a closer look at some of the benefits and features you can get out of a Kia Sportage, from its powertrains and trims to tech and safety.
The Sportage is Kia’s best-selling model across the UK, with its robust SUV style and reliability. What’s more, Kia’s 7-year warranty as standard is an industry-leading offering, giving peace of mind to drivers.
Being an SUV, it’s a popular model amongst families opting for comfort and dependability, whether it’s on the school run or their next staycation. Its strong reputation for safety precedes it, so it’s no surprise that the Sportage is one of the top 10 cars in the country.
Kia Sportage dimensions are also a great selling point, with the model being spacious and comfortable:
Length: 4515mm
Width: 1865mm
Height: 1645mm
Boot space (with rear seats upright): 540 litres
In comparison, this makes the Kia Sportage similar in size to the likes of the Hyundai Tucson and Honda CR-V.
So, if that wasn’t enough to make you look twice at the Kia Sportage, here are some of the top reasons why owning a Sportage could be a great next move.
The Kia Sportage is available in a conventional petrol powertrain, as well as hybrid and plug-in hybrid. So, whichever avenue you want to go down, there’s a model suited for you.
You can find out more about the difference between hybrid, plug-in hybrid and other powertrains in our blog!
Currently, there are four different trims or grades available in the Kia Sportage: Kia Sportage 2, Kia Sportage GT-Line, Kia Sportage 3 and Kia Sportage GT-Line S.
The Kia Sportage 2 is a small step up from the basic model, providing some upgraded features and tech without a huge price increase. You can benefit from 17-inch alloys and a chrome bumper insert, as well as privacy rear window glass and front wipers on a sensor. There are also a couple of additional metallic paint colours available, Dark Penta Metal and Infra Red.
The GT-Line is another upgrade from the Sportage 2. You’ll notice a larger infotainment display at 12.3 inches, and the option for larger 19-inch alloys. The GT-Line is also fitted with a smart cruise control system. Probably the biggest difference here is that the Kia Sportage GT-Line is available as a hybrid and plug-in hybrid.
The Kia Sportage 3 comes with a panoramic sunroof, offering a more premium feel with black cloth and faux leather upholstery. You can also take advantage of advanced features like a heated steering wheel, keyless go and a blind spot collision warning system.
The top-range trim, the Kia Sportage GT-Line S, offers the best of the best. Essentially, this is a much sportier SUV, with memory seats, a power tailgate and suede and leather upholstery.
The exterior of the Kia Sportage is rugged yet smart, offering an incredibly stylish appearance that appeals to a wide array of drivers. It has a very prominent road presence, thanks to its elegant and sleek silhouette, not to mention the variety of available colours.
Choose from the likes of Phantom Black, Lunar Silver, Dark Penta Metal, Blue Flame, Experience Green, Fusion White, Yuka Steel Grey or Infra Red. Offering a stylish finish for your Kia Sportage, some do have an additional cost.
The interior of the Kia Sportage makes for an incredibly comfortable and convenient drive. Its spacious cabin provides plenty of room for those in the front or back, and depending on the trim you choose, you can benefit from a number of features. This includes the likes of electric lumbar support in the driver’s seat, electric seat adjustment, rear air conditioning and ventilated and heated front seats.
If you’re looking for an SUV that can drive in all weather or road types, the Kia Sportage offers its Terrain Mode, designed to help with traction and control across the likes of mud, snow and sand.
By selecting Terrain Mode, you can ensure your Kia Sportage fits perfectly into your lifestyle, whether you’re driving across the Scottish Highlands during a winter staycation or you often drive across rural areas and require more control on muddy tracks.
With Kia, you can benefit from a huge array of safety features designed to keep you and other road users safe. The Kia Sportage achieved a 5-star rating in the Euro NCAP safety tests, with features such as forward collision avoidance assist, turning and blind-spot collision assist and a multi-collision braking system. You can also take advantage of assistive features like remote smart parking assist, which lets you move your car in and out of spaces by using your car key.
The Kia Sportage offers a multitude of audio and communication technology to help you get the most out of your drive. Alongside wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can also take advantage of USB-C charging ports in the front and rear, depending on the trim you choose. There’s also the choice of a 6 or 8 speaker sound system, and free 7-year access to Kia Connect services.
The Motability Scheme is incredibly important in allowing you to make the necessary adaptations to your vehicle, should you require them. The Kia Sportage is an available model on this Scheme, so you can benefit from all of the car’s features while remaining independently mobile.
