Question 1

Which used Kia Sportage generation should I buy?

Accepted Answer

The fifth generation, from 2022, brings hybrid power and most of Kia's seven-year warranty. The fourth, from 2016 to 2021, costs less, and its later cars can still have warranty left.

Question 2

Is a used Kia Sportage diesel ULEZ compliant?

Accepted Answer

Only if it meets Euro 6, which Sportage diesels generally do from September 2015, so fourth- and fifth-generation diesels comply. Earlier diesels usually pay London's daily charge; check the exact car with TfL.

Question 3

Does the Kia warranty transfer to a used Sportage buyer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty runs from first registration and passes to each new keeper, as long as the car has been serviced to Kia's schedule.

Question 4

How much road tax does a used Kia Sportage pay?

Accepted Answer

A Sportage first registered from April 2017 pays the £200 standard rate, plus £440 in years 2 to 6 if its list price was over £40,000, as on some top-trim and plug-in versions. Earlier cars pay by CO₂ band.

Question 5

Which versions does the new Kia Sportage come in?

Accepted Answer

The new Sportage offers a 1.6 T-GDi petrol with 147 bhp, a hybrid with 235 bhp and a plug-in hybrid with 283 bhp, with all-wheel drive on some versions. Trims include Pure, GT-Line, Storm and GT-Line S, each at its on-the-road price.
