A popular online review site states the 'Mild-hybrid tech doesn't transform the Sportage into a class-leader; it's much the same as before, and the 48-volt system doesn't bring any night-and-day improvements to running costs. It's still pleasant enough to drive, if not a match for the Ford Kuga, but generous kit levels and Kia's brilliant warranty – backed up by excellent Driver Power scores – will make it stress-free to live with. The Kia Sportage has been given the mild-hybrid treatment for 2020. It's part of a wider electrification strategy for the Korean brand, which involves launching seven new dedicated full EVs by 2027, a hydrogen fuel cell car by 2025 and a host of plug-in hybrids in the meantime. So this Sportage is at the conservative end of the emissions-busting masterplan, then. It starts with the 1.6 CRDi diesel, which loses an alternator and gains a belt-driven starter/generator unit. This harvests energy from the engine when coasting and charges a 0.44kWh 48-volt battery. This lets the engine switch off more readily and start up instantly when power is needed, and can even deploy a little torque boost under acceleration to reduce load on the engine itself' This vehicle has been well looked after by it's 2 owners and has full Kia service history on 19/2/2021 at 7449 miles, 18/2/2022 at 14218 miles and 22/12/2022 at 21933 miles.
