It also gets a suite of standard active-safety features, including auto emergency braking (AEB) with forward-collision warning, lane-keep assist (LKAS), driver-attention alert (DAA) and high-beam assist. The Sportage range carries a five-star ANCAP safety rating as of 2016.
The Sportage has a 466-litre boot and features a full-size spare under the floor. All variants have the same great leg and headroom in all seats and feature practical storage fittings throughout. The rear seats can recline across the Sportage range.
The Sportage is covered by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty promise, and by up to eight years of roadside assist, if serviced at an approved Kia dealer.
There’s also a comprehensive capped-price servicing program for the life of the warranty, averaging out to $391.71 per year for the 2.0L petrol or $511.43 for the 2.0L turbo diesel.
