The Kia Sportage GT-Line Hybrid midsize SUV has been in the Chasing Cars garage for three months and every member of the team has given it a spin, helping us clock up around 8000 kilometres on the odometer.
Here is our final verdict on Kia’s top-shelf, circa-$60K challenger to the petrol-electric hybrid likes of Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson and Nissan X-Trail.
Custodian of the Kia, Chasing Cars’ Zak Adkins, takes us through his final hits and misses of the long-termer he nicknamed ‘Filipe’ here in Part 2 of our wrap-up with the vehicle.
Did it last the distance? Did it make the grade? And is the Kia Sportage Hybrid worth your consideration for your midsize SUV short list? Watch on to find out.
