The S is the entry grade in the Sportage range starting with a list price of $32,445 for the 2.0-litre petrol variant with a manual gear box. This steps up to $34,445 for the auto, and then $39,845 for the diesel with an automatic transmission.

Coming standard on the entry grade S are 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital instrument cluster, a six-speaker stereo, reverse camera and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, fabric seats air conditioning, LED headlights and those LED running lights.

The engines available in the S grade include a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol making 115kW/192Nm which was also in the previous model and a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine producing 137kW/416Nm and again this was in the old Sportage.

The Sportage is yet to be given a ANCAP crash rating, and we will report on this when it’s announced.

All grades have AEB which can detect cyclists and pedestrians even at traffic junctions, there’s lane departure warning and lane keeping assistance, rear cross traffic alert with braking, and blind spot warning as well.

Senior Journalist
Laura Berry is a best-selling Australian author and journalist who has been reviewing cars for almost 20 years.  Much more of a Hot Wheels girl than a Matchbox one, she grew up in a family that would spend every Friday night sitting on a hill at the Speedway watching Sprintcars slide in the mud. The best part of this was being given money to buy stickers. She loved stickers… which then turned into a love of tattoos. Out of boredom, she learnt to drive at 14 on her parents’ bush property in what can only be described as a heavily modified Toyota LandCruiser.   At the age of 17 she was told she couldn’t have a V8 Holden ute by her mother, which led to Laura and her father laying in the driveway for three months building a six-cylinder ute with more horsepower than a V8.   Since then she’s only ever owned V8s, with a Ford Falcon XW and a Holden Monaro CV8 part of her collection over the years.  Laura has authored two books and worked as a journalist writing about science, cars, music, TV, cars, art, food, cars, finance, architecture, theatre, cars, film and cars. But, mainly cars.   A wife and parent, her current daily driver is a chopped 1951 Ford Tudor with a V8.
