The Kia Sportage Platinum Diesel sits at the top of the Sportage range, and the diesel engine adds genuine appeal for buyers who want a blend of performance and fuel efficiency in a compact SUV. Kia has placed a strong emphasis on design with the Sportage, and the Platinum trim backs up the styling with a well-appointed interior.
For 2017, the Sportage raises the bar in its category with an updated feature set and a refined driving experience. The Platinum specification includes equipment that would have been considered upmarket in segments above it just a few years earlier.
The Sportage competes in a competitive segment alongside the Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Qashqai. The Platinum Diesel makes a strong case for buyers who want the most complete version of the car without moving to a larger SUV.
