The KIA Sportage just keeps getting better and better and with cordless smartphone charging in the centre consul, they may just have found the one feature that stands out above all the rest.
However it was the whole package, and the way that it was all put together, that made the Sportage one of the vehicles that would be right near the top of my list of potential rides.
I drove the sixteen hundred T-GDi GT Line derivative, one of ten variants in the Sportage, and I was completely thrilled with the performance. Delivering 130 kilowatts and 265 Newton metres of torque, the Sportage was very nimble.
All that space motivated me to friends to "go for a ride" with me to test how the Sportage behaved with five fully grown adults on board.
I can report to you that the Sportage hardly even noticed them, even when I pulled off on a steep uphill, the sixteen hundred turbo charged engine behaved as if I was alone in the car. The seven-speed DCT gearbox had a ratio for every occasion.
I can honestly recommend that you call KIA Umhlanga right now and book a test drive in the KIA Sportage, if you haven't experienced this vehicle then now is the time you do.
Sophisticated styling, powerful performance, added cutting edge technological advancements backed up with advanced features in comfort and safety, and you have a car that will wow you.
Call them on 031 - 570 4700 or visit them at 1 - 3 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge.
