AutoExec Summary
The 2023 Kia Sportage SX+ AWD diesel, priced at $47,250 plus on-road costs, remains a strong contender as Drive Car of the Year. Its refined 137kW/416Nm turbo diesel engine, spacious interior, and advanced technology make it a top choice for Australian families. Key features include a seven-year warranty, locally engineered suspension, and full-size spare tyre. While some tech warnings can be intrusive, the vehicle’s overall performance and practicality stand out. Despite higher servicing costs, the Sportage offers excellent value and versatility in the mid-size SUV market.
