Sporting A KIA Sportage

Sporting A KIA Sportage

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2019-07-26

The KIA Sportage I was to test drive, radiated prowess as I walked towards it. The body styling of the KIA is a testament to its heritage and a large part of its immense success as an SUV and as a model for the KIA range.

The KIA Sportage is packed with cutting-edge technologies wherever you look, like for instance the cordless cell phone-charging station in the centre consol. The fourth generation Sportage is a little bit taller, a whole lot longer and a ruler's length wider.

I was test-driving the 2.0 CRDI derivative and found it very responsive. The level of comfort was enhanced by the high quality finishes and touches of finesse, like the perforated black leather seats. I felt like a numzaan.

An easy to use infotainment system with a large colourful display made interfacing with the Sportage a pleasure. Even the road holding had an element of luxurious comfort to it, the way the Sportage responded, it oozed confidence and capability.

Get down to KIA Umhlanga and take a Sportage for a test drive, call them on 031 570 4700 or pop into their showroom at 1 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge.
