Description
Henson Car Store presents the KIA SPORTAGE 1.6 T-GDi GT-Line SUV 5dr Petrol Manual Euro 6 (s/s) finished in Black. This 2018 Kia Sportage 1.6 T-GDi GT-Line is a stylish and sporty family SUV that combines distinctive design, strong turbocharged performance, excellent practicality and a generous level of equipment. Powered by the responsive 1.6-litre T-GDi turbocharged petrol engine producing 177bhp and paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, it offers smooth power delivery and an engaging driving experience while remaining comfortable and refined for everyday use.
The Euro 6 engine with stop/start technology also helps improve efficiency, making the Sportage well suited to both urban driving and longer motorway journeys. Finished in the desirable GT-Line specification, this Sportage has a sporty and distinctive exterior with GT-Line styling, attractive alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, front fog lights, privacy glass and roof rails. The raised SUV driving position provides excellent visibility, while the confident stance gives the Sportage plenty of road presence.
Its practical five-door layout makes accessing the cabin easy, while the generous boot provides plenty of room for shopping, luggage and family essentials. Inside, the GT-Line offers a comfortable and well-equipped cabin with supportive sports-style seating, a leather multifunction steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and premium interior finishes. The spacious five-seat layout provides good room for both front and rear passengers, while the folding rear seats allow the luggage area to be expanded when additional carrying capacity is required.
The elevated driving position and well-designed dashboard create a comfortable environment for both daily commuting and longer journeys.
About the KIA SPORTAGE
The Kia Sportage stands as one of Britain's most popular family SUVs, blending distinctive styling with an industry-leading seven-year warranty. Now in its fifth generation, it offers a refined driving experience, a cavernous interior, and a suite of high-tech safety features that make it a staple sight on UK school runs and motorways.
Why Buy a Used Kia Sportage?
- Comprehensive seven-year or 100,000-mile transferable warranty provides ultimate peace of mind for used buyers.
- Exceptional practicality with a large boot and ample rear legroom, often surpassing rivals like the Nissan Qashqai.
- A wide range of ULEZ-compliant powertrains including efficient full hybrids and tax-efficient plug-in versions.
- High levels of standard equipment even on entry-level '2' trims, featuring modern infotainment and safety assists.
Typical Price Range
All prices are approximate.
- 2010–2015: £3,500 – £8,500 — The third-generation 'SL' model; legendary for reliability but ensure the V5C confirms Euro 6 status on late diesel models for ULEZ compliance.
- 2016–2021: £9,000 – £22,000 — The fourth-generation 'QL' model; highly popular with huge market choice. Look for facelifted 2018+ models with improved MHEV tech.
- 2022–Present: £26,000 – £43,000 — The current 'NQ5' generation featuring the dramatic 'Opposites United' design and premium dual-screen interior dashboard.
Common Issues to Check
- Clutch wear on manual 1.7 CRDi diesel engines, often noticed through slipping in higher gears.
- Panoramic sunroof rails requiring regular lubrication to prevent sticking or motor burnout.
- Infotainment screen 'ghosting' or intermittent connectivity issues on 2016-2018 models.
- DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) clogging on cars used primarily for short urban trips; requires regular motorway runs.
- Reverse camera lens seals can fail, leading to moisture ingress and a cloudy or defunct display.
Running Costs
- Fuel Economy: 40–48mpg for petrol models; 50–55mpg for diesels; up to 250mpg (weighted) for PHEV variants.
- Insurance Group: Groups 12 to 26 depending on the engine and trim level.
- Servicing: Interim services typically cost £160–£220, with major services around £350. Kia offers fixed-price service plans via DVLA-registered dealers.
Which Variant Should I Choose?
- Kia Sportage '2': The budget-conscious family. It covers all the basics with alloys, smartphone mirroring, and cruise control without the premium price tag.
- Kia Sportage 'GT-Line': Style-seekers. It adds sporty exterior styling, larger wheels, and a more aggressive grille to mimic the look of high-performance SUVs.
- Kia Sportage '3' / '4': Tech enthusiasts. These mid-to-high trims introduce heated leather seats, premium sound systems, and 360-degree cameras for easier parking.
- Kia Sportage PHEV: Company car drivers. The low Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax rates and 40+ miles of electric range make it the most tax-efficient choice.
- Kia Sportage HEV: High-mileage urban commuters. The full hybrid system offers smooth automatic driving and impressive fuel economy without needing to plug in.
