Cruising the KIA Sportage

Cruising the KIA Sportage

The sun glinted off the chrome detail on the grill of the new KIA Sportage waiting for me on my pavement.

The KIA Sportage is a formidable SUV from KIA and it has grown in popularity with every stage in its growth and the popular payoff line "Made to Wow" is certainly being achieved.

From the wireless charging smart phone centre consul, to the array of cutting edge technologies that KIA have crammed so elegantly into the new Sportage, there is Wow everywhere.

The peppy 2.0 diesel engine of the CRDI 2.0 AT model that I drove had extra wow even before the sport mode was selected.

The comfort levels were at optimum and the element of comfort was derived from so many aspects of the new Sportage. From the easy to use infotainment system and its large colourful display, to the plush leather seats. Even the road holding had an element of comfort to it, the way the Sportage responded, it was a perfect fit.

Get down to KIA Umhlanga and take a Sportage for a test drive, call them on 03- 570 4700 or pop into their showroom at 1 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge.
