Used Kia Sportage fuel economy and performance

• Kia Sportage 1.6T GDI: With a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine and no hybrid element you get 150PS and a six-speed manual gearbox. The combination returns 0-62mph in 9.9 seconds, and 42.2mpg combined.
• Kia Sportage 1.6T GDI 48v DCT: Automatic models get mild-hybrid technology but no more power. Even so, 0-62mph drops to 9.3 seconds, and economy is 44.1mpg - while all-wheel drive is optional.
• Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDI: As per the petrol there’s a turbocharged, non-hybrid 1.6-litre doing diesel duty. It makes 115PS and with a six-speed manual gearbox gets from 0-62mph in 11.7 seconds. Economy is 54.3mpg combined.
• Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 48v DCT: Once again the automatic model also gets mild-hybrid tech, but does get a little more power at 136PS. 0-62mph takes 11 seconds flat and economy is 54.3mpg combined.
• Kia Sportage 1.6T GDI HEV: The full-hybrid Sportage uses a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol, with a seven-speed auto, electric assistance, and 229PS combined. 0-62mph takes only 7.7 seconds, and economy is either 49.6mpg for the front-wheel drive car, or 44.1mpg for the all-wheel drive.
• Kia Sportage 1.6T GDI PHEV: Add a plug and you also add power, with more powerful electric motors assisting the PHEV to 265PS. Performance is actually a touch behind the HEV at 7.9 seconds to 62mph, but 43 miles of EV range contributes to 252mpg combined.

What used Kia Sportage trim levels are available?

Kia’s familiar numbered trim levels make an appearance here, as do its GT-Line trims and their mildly sporty theme. Given the performance of the hybrid and plug-in models a sporty trim line is less inappropriate here than it might have been on older Sportage models, but the emphasis is still very much on comfort and equipment rather than emulating a proper performance SUV.

• The Kia Sportage 2 is where the range starts. It gets a decent level of equipment and comes only with the basic petrol and diesel engines, and a manual gearbox.
• The Kia Sportage GT-Line has a mildly sporty appearance and is the first model in the range to be offered with all engines.
• The Kia Sportage 3 sits in the middle of the range and gets more equipment than the cars below it, but is also available across all engines.
• The Kia Sportage 4 adds further luxury touches but its engine range is slimmer, offered only with the mild and full hybrid options.
• The Kia Sportage GT-Line S packs a lot more equipment and gets a few sporty styling touches. Powertrain options include everything but the non-hybrid petrol engine, or either of the diesels.

Used Kia Sportage road tax

For non-hybrid vehicles, annual VED is set at £190 per year for the 2024/2025 tax year, while the hybrids are £10 cheaper. If the original owner somehow spent more than £40,000 on their Sportage though, beware, as this is the threshold at which a surcharge is applied from the second to sixth years of registration - lifting the bill up to £600 a year, or £590 for hybrids.

How much is it to insure a Kia Sportage?

Sportage insurance starts relatively low, at insurance group 15 for a car in ‘2’ trim with the non-hybrid diesel engine. Go further up the range and insurance tops out at group 26 for some of the higher-spec plug-in hybrids.
