For extra power go the diesel...
petrol is 135kws 237nm
Diesel is 136kw but 400nm ... you be surprised how much better for overtaking and fuel economy.

The 2.0 litre diesel used by Kia/Hyundai is the better option. Way more power and better fuel economy too. Great review though. Keep up the good work

[hilltan]

This is a great review, quite frankly some of the better ones in a long time from CarAdvice.

Spot on with your review. I have the GT Line but 2020 model and fits in with your views. One of the best reviews honest fair and to the point. May I ask what is with the left foot?? To end well done great review.

For power put it in sport mode or pull the shift lever over to sportmatic
Where you can get the revs up these cars have GDI engines and they like to be wound up it keeps them from getting carbond up.

IMO these are best with the diesel engine. The petrol does feel a bit gutless at times with it's lack of low down torque.

Moon boot, sneakers, back in moon boot... But still 👌🏻

Make sure CA don't let you go to 7 News or 9 News.

Hi ! I am pretty sure the 2022 Kia Sportage will address this problem of being under powered.

Do aussies get the 2.0 turbo engine option?I'm pretty happy with the power and torque that my 2017 sportage puts out.

The new Ford Escape is cheaper $41k and has 182kw 387nm. More fuel, but damn it’s fast! Drives pretty nice for a soccer mum car but enjoyable for the dad boy racer. And has all the electronics you can think of
