KIA SPORTAGE ESTATE

The Kia Sportage 1.6T GDi HEV Pure is a practical, well-equipped family SUV that combines a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a self-charging hybrid system, producing 235 bhp and 280 Nm of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission. It accelerates from 0–62 mph in 7.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 121 mph, while its 1.49 kWh lithium-ion battery supports a claimed combined fuel economy of about 50.4 mpg and CO2 emissions of 126 g/km. The Pure trim is the entry-level hybrid specification, yet it includes a generous amount of standard equipment, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, a reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Keep Assist, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. Inside, it seats five with cloth upholstery and a leather-trimmed steering wheel, while the boot offers 587 litres of space, expanding to 1,776 litres with the rear seats folded, making it highly usable for shopping, luggage, or family trips. The exterior features 17-inch alloy wheels, silver roof rails, and a bold SUV design, and the car remains compact enough for town driving while feeling stable and comfortable on motorways. Kia’s seven-year or 100,000-mile warranty, transferable to later owners, adds further appeal and reassurance. Overall, the Sportage 1.6T GDi HEV Pure is a sensible choice for buyers who want hybrid efficiency, strong performance, modern safety technology, and everyday practicality without stepping up to a plug-in hybrid
