Kia SUV launch

KIA’S new Sportage SUV will be priced from £14,495 on-the-road when it arrives in the UK in January.

The new sport utility vehicle shares only a name with its predecessor and hopes to attract new customers to the 4x4 sector. All models come with air conditioning, electric windows, 16-inch alloy wheels and a CD player, as well as permanent four-wheel drive. Engines include a 2.0-litre petrol engine and a 2.7 V6 auto, while a 2.0-litre diesel will join the range later in the year.
