Why the KIA Sportage is a good buying option for those looking for an SUV

Why is the KIA Sportage a good buying option for those who want an SUV? The KIA Sportage has established itself in the market and has become a best-selling model. It competes with rivals such as the Dacia Duster, the Toyota CH-R, the Renault Kadjar, the Volkswagen Tiguan, the SEAT Ateca, the Nissan Qashqai and the Peugeot 3008, and it continues to be one of the leaders in its segment.

It is important to note that if you want an SUV, the KIA Sportage in its most basic versions is sufficient for everyday use, has an interesting level of equipment, and can even be chosen in a 48-volt hybrid version.

The new KIA Sportage has become a good buying option for everyone who wants an SUV, and in its entry-level version, Concept, you can choose between three different engines: 1.6 48-volt Hybrid 85kW (115 CV) 2WD 6MT, 1.6 48-volt Hybrid 100kW (136 CV) 2WD 6MT or 1.6 GDi 97kW (132 CV) 6MT. In this trim, users will find standard equipment that stands out for its 16-inch alloy wheels, its touchscreen infotainment system, its light sensor, its rear-view camera and its air conditioning.

The price of the most expensive version in this trim corresponds to the 1.6-litre 48-volt hybrid engine with 136 CV. It starts at 21,766.08 € before discounts. Although this is one of the most basic trims, it lacks no detail, and the brand has just renewed its flagship to offer customers new equipment and engines.
