The SX+ sits high in the Sportage range and starts with a list price of $41,500 for the 2.0-litre petrol variant with an automatic transmission. This steps up to $43,500 for the 1.6-litre version with the dual-clutch automatic and then $46,900 for the diesel variant with an auto.
Coming standard on the SX+ are 19-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an eight speaker Harman Kardon stereo, a digital instrument cluster, a six-speaker stereo, reverse camera and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, dual-zone climate control, sat-nav, LED headlights and those LED running lights, heated front seats with a powered driver’s seat, privacy glass and a proximity key.
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.
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.
