Kia Sportage
The previous version of the Sportage was very respectable, but it will be quickly forgotten thanks to the latest version. Not only does it have one of the nicest silhouettes in the category, but its passenger compartment sets the bar in terms of design and ergonomics. This time, there’s just one engine choice, but calm your fears, as this 2.4-litre has enough performance and power to face any challenge.
