Kia Sportage
As a compact SUV, the Sportage slots between the Seltos and Sorento. Redesigned from the ground up for 2023, it comes standard with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 187 horsepower. Customers also have a choice of hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants. With the latter, they can travel up to 55 km without burning any fuel. The Sportage’s interior is roomier now and highlighted by an available all-digital instrument and infotainment display.
