2021 Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi MHEV 2 SUV

Description

So, I’ve been keeping this car for a few years now — it’s a 2021 Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi MHEV, diesel hybrid, five-door SUV. I bought it new from a dealer, and it’s been one owner since, so it’s been really well looked after. Mileage’s low, and it’s been serviced properly. I’ve actually driven it quite a bit around Walmer, Dover — the roads are a bit rougher there, but it handles just fine.

The outside is sleek grey, with 17-inch alloy wheels — not flashy, but gives it that modern, sporty look. Inside, it’s pretty well sorted: leather trim on the gearshift and door armrests, a 10-inch touchscreen with navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I use it for commuting and weekend trips, and the hybrid bit really helps — 50.4mpg combined, CO2 at just 146g/km. No need to stress about fuel bills or the environment.

It’s got all the basics: cruise control with speed limiter, automatic lights, power steering, and the anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution. The seats are comfortable, heated, and there’s a decent amount of space. I’ve even got the reversing camera and parking sensors — useful when parking in tight spots.

I know it’s not the most common car, but it’s reliable, quiet, and actually feels good to drive. I’ve had it through a few winter seasons, and it’s held up well. The only thing I’m not selling is the original owner’s manual — I’ve kept that.

It’s been through a full service history and still has the manufacturer’s warranty. I’m not selling it for a lot — it’s £13,495.50 — but if you’re thinking about getting a practical, efficient SUV that doesn’t scream “I’m expensive,” this one might be worth a look.

If you’re in the area and want to take a test drive, I’m happy to meet up in Walmer, Dover. No pressure, just a bit of honest talk about what it’s like to actually use it.
