Kia Sportage Overview
The Kia Sportage controls and dials are very basic. They are clear, simple, easy to understand, and practical instruments. The simplicity will be very welcome for less techno-savvy buyers.
The Sportage comes standard with a lockable glove box, remote central locking, an electronic engine immobiliser and a perimeter alarm. A visual deterrent may be desired but probably wouldn’t be necessary with such a comprehensive security package.
The car’s off-road abilities are as impressive as its on-road abilities. Furthermore, the exterior shape of the model has been significantly enhanced to appeal to those who are looking for a stylish 4x4.
