Kia Sportage

"The 2019 Kia Sportage 1.6 T-GDi DCT AWD in ISG 4 trim is one of those rare family SUVs that manages to tick almost every box, performance, practicality, and premium kit, all wrapped in a sharply styled, well-built package. This particular one-owner example, boasting a full service history, adds yet another layer of appeal, offering peace of mind to match its long list of features. Under the bonnet sits Kia's punchy 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine, producing a healthy 174bhp and mated to a slick 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The addition of all-wheel drive transforms this Sportage from a suburban runabout into something altogether more versatile, capable in all weathers and genuinely confident on a variety of road surfaces. It's smooth, refined and surprisingly engaging for a compact SUV. But it's the ISG 4 specification that really elevates this Sportage above the herd. We're talking panoramic sunroof, full leather upholstery, ventilated and heated front seats, heated rears, an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation, JBL premium audio, wireless phone charging, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and even a 360-degree camera system. It's a spec sheet that reads like something from a car twice the price. With only one careful owner and a full service record backing it up, this high-spec Sportage represents one of the smartest buys in the used SUV market, especially for buyers who want luxury-level equipment without the badge-led markup. Confident, capable, and kitted to the hilt, it's the kind of car you'll look forward to driving every day."
