KIA SPORTAGE DIESEL ESTATE

The Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 48V ISG “2” is the smart, value-focused choice in the Sportage range, combining a modern mild-hybrid diesel with a strong equipment list and Kia’s class-leading 7-year/100,000-mile warranty. Its 1.6-litre turbodiesel produces 134 bhp and 320 Nm of torque, delivering relaxed real-world performance for motorway cruising, overtaking, and towing up to 1,600 kg, while the 48V integrated starter-generator smooths stop/start and adds a touch of efficiency. With WLTP combined economy around 50.4 mpg and CO2 near 116 g/km, it’s a sensible pick for higher-mileage drivers who still want an SUV’s practicality without hybrid or petrol running costs. The “2” trim sits above the basic “1”, adding an 8-inch touchscreen with sat-nav, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, dual-zone climate, cruise control with speed limiter, and often rear camera/parking sensors, yet it avoids the price premium of top “3” or GT-Line specs. Inside, you get a usable 439-litre boot, 60/40 split rear seats, and enough rear space for adults, making it ideal for families, dog owners, and weekend adventurers. Safety is strong too, with a 5-star Euro NCAP rating and modern driver aids depending on model year, all backed by Kia’s renowned warranty and widespread dealer network. For anyone doing 10,000+ miles a year, especially on A-roads and motorways, the 1.6 CRDi 48V ISG “2” offers low hassle, strong resale values, and an easy-to-live-with blend of comfort, tech, and efficiency that few rivals match at this price point.
