2018 Kia Sportage 1.6 GDi 2 SUV

Description

This 2018 Kia Sportage has been sitting in Leven, Fife, and I’m finally getting rid of it. It’s a solid, well-maintained 1.6-litre petrol manual with 130 bhp — not flashy, but gets the job done. The MOT’s valid until July 2026, which gives it a bit of peace of mind.

It’s got Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can stream music and use your phone hands-free. The reversing camera and parking sensors make parking a lot easier, especially in tight spots. I’ve also got Bluetooth with voice control — useful if you’re driving and don’t want to fumble for your phone.

It’s a low insurance group, which means it’s cheaper to insure than a lot of other SUVs. The interior is clean and practical — good storage, heated seats, a 7-inch nav with traffic updates, and even a map light with sunglasses case. The alloy wheels look decent, and the leather trim on the gearshift and armrests adds a bit of polish.

I’ve had it for a few years now, done regular servicing, and it’s been reliable. The only thing I’m not thrilled about is the manual transmission — not ideal for long drives, but fine for daily commutes.

It’s worth noting that the price is £9,805.50 — it’s not cheap, but it’s a solid, reliable car with good tech and safety features. I’m not selling it for a quick cash grab, just because I’ve found something else that suits my needs better.

If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, practical SUV with decent tech and a good safety rating, this one’s been a good fit for me. Just let me know if you’ve driven it or have any questions — I’d be happy to chat.
