Kia Sportage 1.6 T-GDi 2
List price £26,745
Target Price £26,108
The latest Sportage has previously shone in pricier guises, but can it compete at the cheaper end of the class?
NEW
Skoda Karoq 1.0 TSI 110 SE Drive
List price £26,255
Target Price £25,488
Recently facelifted, the Karoq is the car the others have to beat, having set the benchmark at this price point since 2017
Ding, ding, ding: round three. Earlier this year the fifth-generation Kia Sportage, in hybrid guise, stepped into the family SUV ring and gave both the closely related Hyundai Tucson and the Ford Kuga a bloody nose. It was a convincing victory for the young upstart, followed up just a couple of months later with a win against the recently facelifted Mazda CX-5-the Sportage proving that it was just as formidable in regular petrol form.
Now, though, we want to see if the Sportage can succeed at the budget end of the family SUV class, so we're putting a petrol model in entry-level 2 trim up against two recently refreshed stalwarts: the Skoda Karoq and Vauxhall Grandland.
