2025 Kia Sportage 1.6 T-GDi 48V 2 Estate Petrol Manual

Description

Got this 2025 Kia Sportage estate — it's a proper family-friendly SUV with a clean, modern look and loads of practical features. The 1.6 T-GDi engine with 48V system gives it a bit of punch without being too loud, and it’s got a manual transmission, which I actually enjoy driving with.

The 12.3-inch touchscreen is easy to use, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — no lag, no fuss. I’ve got a full 6-speaker audio system and Bluetooth, so I can keep streaming music on the go. The seats are black cloth, comfortable, and the steering wheel is leather — nice to hold.

It’s got all the safety bits you’d expect: airbags, electronic stability control, brake assist, lane keep assist, and forward collision warning. There’s also a reversing camera, parking sensors, and a smart key with motion sensor — so I don’t have to fumble for the key every time.

I love the practical bits too — 40:20:40 split rear seats that fold flat, a good storage layout with underfloor space, luggage net hooks, and even a cup holder in the rear centre armrest. The 17-inch alloy wheels look sharp, and the silver accents on the bumpers and window surrounds give it a polished finish.

The cabin is well insulated — automatic climate control, defog, and even a rear air conditioning unit. The seats have height adjusters, and the front seats can be manually adjusted. I use the cruise control a lot on long drives, and the drive mode select helps me switch between different driving styles depending on the road.

I’ve kept it well maintained, and it's been through regular servicing. The 7-year Kia Connect service is still active, so all the connectivity features are up to date.

I’m based in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey, and it’s been a while since I’ve driven it much — it’s been stored nicely, but it’s ready to go whenever you’re ready to get behind the wheel.

If you're looking for a reliable, tech-savvy estate with room for kids and gear, this one’s got you covered. I’m happy to chat about it or answer any questions — just give me a shout.

(Price is £21,149.10 — not a big deal for what it offers, honestly.)
