The latest KiaUK Sportage is our reigning Family SUV of the Year, but does the previous version make a good budget alternative? 👀
On the equipment front, there are six levels to pick from: 1, 2, 3, 4, First edition and GT-Line. We say six, but all 2.0-litre diesel versions for reasons known only to Kia were badged with a 'KX-' prefix before each number trim level, yet they didn't come with any extra kit. Fortunately, this confusing naming structure was dropped after the facelift.
The entry-level 1/KX-1 Sportage comes equipped with 16in alloy wheels, front foglights, hill start assist and descent control as standard, while inside there is air conditioning, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, DAB radio and cruise control. Upgrade to 2/KX-2 trim and you will find 17in alloys, roof rails, rear parking sensors, automatic wipers and lights, and a wider range of safety systems, while inside there is dual-zone climate control, a reversing camera and Kia's 7.0in touchscreen infotainment system, complete with sat-nav and smartphone integration.
Sportages kitted out in 3/KX-3 trim gain luxuries such as an 8.0in touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof and an eight-speaker JBL audio system, while 4/KX-4 adds ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, electrically adjustable front seats, front parking sensors, adaptive bi-xenon headlights and keyless entry/start, along with an autonomous braking system and blindspot monitoring system.
KX-5 models gain an electric tailgate, automatic parking assistance, a wireless phone charging system and two-tone leather upholstery, while the GT-Line models add an aggressive body kit on the outside, and numerous GT-Line decals and inserts inside. The GT-Line S is basically a pre-facelift KX-5 Sportage in terms of toys, but with sportier GT-Line styling.
