Kia Sportage 2025 review: Updated family SUV tries to overtake new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid with facelift

The 2025 Kia Sportage mid-size SUV has arrived in Australian showrooms, where it's facing more competitive than ever before. Yep, an influx of new Chinese car brands has led to a proliferation of new rivals, including internal-combustion, hybrid, PHEV and fully electric options. So, the South Korean model's midlife facelift is well-timed as it needs a nip and tuck to keep up. What's new with the Sportage? Well, its front and rear exterior designs have been appropriately tweaked, with the former seeing the more dramatic change. Inside, the dashboard has been properly overhauled, while a manual gearbox is no longer a transmission option for the available petrol and diesel engines. The 1.6-litre turbocharged unit also gets a new eight-speed torque-converter automatic. Note that the Hybrid powertrain is unchanged. In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton gets behind the wheel of the new Sportage at its national media launch. #Kia #Sportage #Review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:30 Pricing and features 02:05 Design 03:12 Practicality 04:06 Under the bonnet 05:01 Efficiency 05:28 Driving 07:59 Safety 08:30 Ownership 08:55 Verdict -- Read Andrew's full review: https://bit.ly/43HYk5x Check out our Kia Sportage hub: https://bit.ly/3SP9OOd Find more SUVs: https://bit.ly/440C6KS Visit our family guide: https://bit.ly/43RSAGt -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel:    / carsguide   Like our Facebook page:   / carsguide.australia   Follow our TikTok profile:   / carsguide.com.au   Follow our Instagram profile:   / carsguideaus   Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our Threads profile: https://www.threads.net/@carsguideaus Follow our LinkedIn page:   / carsguide-com-au
