Kia, as a relatively young manufacturer, has certainly come a long way in a short space of time. Their products are constantly improving and being improved, and the new Sportage is arguably the best car in their ever-growing stable.

The Sportage range is made up of 12 different models with five engines, so even though buyers are spoilt for choice, all those options can make it difficult to choose the best one, or simply the right one for your lifestyle.

In this video, we take a detailed look at the Sportage 2.0 EX Plus Auto. The model fits into the middle of the range and while it is about R100 000 more than the entry level model, we think the comfort and tech features make the extra spend worth it.
