2023 Kia Sportage SX+ 1.6T AWD review
The Kia Sportage is offered in a dizzying array of flavours, but SX+ with the 1.6T engine isn't top of our recommendation list.

2022 Kia Sportage SX 2.0D AWD review
The mid-range Sportage Diesel offers a good balance of features and value, and is one of the more practical offerings in the mid-size SUV class.

2022 Kia Sportage GT-Line 2.0D AWD review
The flagship Sportage GT-Line Diesel combines our powertrain of choice with the full catalogue of kit, but it's really getting up there in price.

2022 Kia Sportage S 2.0D AWD review
A lusty drive in a trimmed-down package makes this middleweight Sportage a compelling proposition for certain buyer tastes.

2021 Kia Sportage S Diesel AWD review
There’s a lot to like about diesel AWD motivation in the base Sportage S. But is it worth the substantial step up from the petrol version?

2021 Kia Sportage review
The Kia Sportage is at its best with a diesel engine and all-wheel drive, but is it worth buying considering it's about to be replaced?

Other SUV to consider
Choosing between the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson comes down almost entirely to styling preference, as they share their underpinnings. That includes the three powertrains available across both model ranges. The Tucson has lower capped-price servicing rates but the Sportage has a longer warranty.
The Mazda CX-5 also offers a choice of petrol, turbo-petrol and turbo-diesel four-cylinder engines, though its turbo-petrol is considerably more powerful than the Sportage's. However, the CX-5 is one of the smaller models in its class and tighter inside than the spacious Sportage.
Kia has no rival for the Toyota RAV4 hybrid in Australia, but the Sportage has a similarly well-sorted ride/handling tune to the wider RAV4 range and a similarly spacious interior while offering more modern infotainment.
Speaking of modernity, the Sportage is much fresher than the venerable Nissan X-Trail. The Mitsubishi Outlander is as new as the Kia and offers the option of a third row of seating, though it's no longer available as a diesel.
