    Does the Kia Sportage 2019 have surging issues?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 5 September 2019

    Kia confirmed that there is a software issue with the 2.0-litre diesel engine, which results in surging when the engine is cold. The told us that their supplier has been working on a solution which they hope will be available fairly soon. It is complicated by the fact the software is not supplied only to Kia and any changes have to be cleared by all users. From that I think you could assume the Tucson is probably also affected.

    What is the best car to tow a camper trailer?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 25 July 2019

    Camper trailers typically weigh in the range of 850 kg to 1200 kg without the extra weight of things like food, bedding, clothes, etc. so it’s probably best to look at a compact SUV. A Mazda CX5 will tow up to 1800 kg, which would seem to fit your needs. Then there’s a Kia Sportage (1600 kg), Mitsubishi Outlander (1600 kg), or Suzuki Grand Vitara (1600 kg).

    What SUV's are the most fuel efficient?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 28 June 2019

    Try a Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Kia Sportage, or Subaru Forester. Any of them would be good choices.

    Answered by Graham Smith · 30 May 2019

    Check the build date on the vehicle’s ID plate. That should tell you which model you have.

     

    What car do you recommend for towing a small camper trailer?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 15 March 2019

    The camper trailer isn’t a heavy one, so most compact SUVs would handle it comfortably, and would have the space for your fridge and extra battery. A Toyota RAV4 would do the job, so would a Suzuki Vitara, or a Kia Sportage.

    Kia Sportage: Accessories not available
    Answered by Graham Smith · 20 December 2018

    You can call Kia’s customer assistance service on 1800 600 010, but I suspect you won’t get the satisfaction you’re looking for. I believe you’ll find that the accessories you are waiting for are aftermarket items fitted by the dealer, and not from Kia.
