The Korean manufacturer Kia is experiencing a sweet moment: its sales volume does not stop growing, driven above all by an updated and technological range of products, especially if we talk about some of his latest releasessuch as the electric Kia EV6, the versatile Kia Niro, available in hybrid, PHEV and electric versions, and the new generation of the Kia Sportage, one of its most important models and, in fact, the one that has obtained the highest number of sales in our country during 2022. Now you can get a Sportage with an ECO label for less than €32,000, but… can we consider it a bargain?
Renewed less than a year ago, the new generation of the Kia Sportage shows solid arguments to become a bestseller, the brand’s objective and which it is undoubtedly achieving based on the results obtained in 2022, the year in which Kia registered more than 15,000 units of his C-SUV. The current Sportage has little to do with its predecessor: more visually attractive, with a much greater technological load and a wider range of electrified engines than ever.
Average market prices have increased significantly in recent months, and although Kia models have not been immune to them, the truth is that the increases have been less pronounced than in other brands. Proof of this are the prices of the Sportage, whose range starts at just under €29,000, although in this case from Diariomotor we are committed to highlighting what is undoubtedly one of the most interesting versions in our opinion.: microhybrid, with the most extensive equipment and for less than €32,000. Is it worth “stretching” and getting this very interesting version of the Kia Sportage?
The Kia Sportage that you should buy does not cost €29,000, it costs €31,800
The Sportage range, a rival of models like its cousin-brother the Hyundai Tucson, the Peugeot 3008 or the Skoda Karoq, starts at €28,450 for the 1.6 TGDi 150CV version with a 6-speed manual transmission and Concept equipment line, but if you want to get a complete “all in one”, youWe recommend that you bet on the 1.6 TGDi MHEV 150CV variant with manual transmission and Drive finish, which starts at €31,853.
With this engine, the Sportage accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 189 km/h, which together with an approved average consumption of 6.5 liters/100 km and the presence of the valued ECO labelmake the performance/consumption cocktail more balanced.
On the other hand, the Drive equipment It is more than complete, with standard elements such as full LED headlights, dual-zone climate control, a navigation system with a 31 cm (12.3”) curved screen, front and rear parking sensors or a rear parking aid camera. To the aforementioned price, €31,853, we must add the cost of the chosen painting, which varies between €250 and €500.
