The SX sits above the entry grade S in the Kia Sportage range and it starts with a list price of $35,000 for the 2.0-litre petrol variant with the manual gearbox and $37,000 for the auto version. The SX in diesel guise and with an auto lists for $42,400.
Coming standard on the SX are 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital instrument cluster, a six-speaker stereo, reverse camera and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, fabric seats, dual-zone climate control, sat-nav, LED headlights and LED running lights.
The SX comes in a choice of three engines: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol making 115kW/192Nm which was also in the previous model; a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine producing 137kW/416Nm and again this was in the old Sportage; but a new 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine has been added (replacing the 2.4-litre petrol) with an output of 132kW/265Nm.
The Sportage is yet to be given a ANCAP crash rating, and we will report on this when it’s announced.

Laura Berry
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.
