Why does my Kia use so much oil?
A: Oil gets burned during the normal combustion process, but some engines use more oil that others. Kia has very specific oil consumption tests and considers one quart of oil used in 1,000 miles or more normal. Based on Kia’s criteria for oil consumption, the engine is operating as designed.
Who is the designer of the Kia Sportage?
The Sportage was designed by Kia’s German design chief Peter Schreyer, who was partially responsible for the shape of the original Audi TT.
Is the Kia Sportage a good value car?
Kia’s days as a budget brand are long gone, but the Sportage still represents good value. Your £27,250 buys a long list of toys, lots of safety kit, and a five-star rating from the safety experts at Euro NCAP. The Kia Sportage has some tough competition, but as a tow car it certainly holds its own.
Which is better Kia Kadjar or Kia Sportage?
The Kia Sportage’s weakest point in solo driving is its ride comfort. KX-3 cars have 19-inch alloys which look good, but contribute to a stiff low-speed ride. Perhaps it’s a price worth paying for the Sportage’s stability when towing, but a Renault Kadjar is noticeably better at smoothing lumps and bumps in the road surface.
How big is the screen on a Kia Sportage?
Apart from the entry-level Sportage, all models get at least a seven-inch infotainment touchscreen (it’s actually eight inches on most versions), and the tidy 4.2-inch LCD supervision panel in the instrument cluster is just a few rungs up the specification ladder.

How old is the Kia Sportage at 13 months?
Hondas, I’ve owned two BMWs and a Mercedes 300E and over time they show and feel their age. At 13 months there’s not even a hint of that in the Sportage. As I’ve said twice before, every time I get into the car I look forward to the driving experience.
How big is the cargo area in a Kia Sportage?
The 2017 Kia Sportage has 30.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats, which expands to 60.1 cubic feet with the 60/40-split bench folded down (both figures are with the cargo floor lowered). The rear license plate has been moved to the liftgate instead of the bumper, which Kia says drops the lift-over height for easier loading of cargo.
