The Kia Sportage is not just a great sport utility vehicle, it's CarBuyer's first ever Car of the Year in 2011, as well as our Best 4x4 in 2012. And no wonder... it's the Korean firm's best offering yet. Good enough to trouble all comers in the growing crossover market. The Sportage particularly appeals if you'd like to be noticed, as its futuristic styling is refreshingly different from the norm. Inside it looks good too, while standard equipment lists are lengthy. While the car was first introduced with a single 134bhp 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine, with four-wheel drive, it's the smaller petrol and diesel options with front-wheel drive that make most sense. All come with Kia's impressive seven-year, 100,000 mile warranty.
