Kia Sportage 2019
Carsguide Contributor Dan Pugh had this to say at the time: The Sportage GT-Line is a mild mannered SUV that delivers practically and polish, but at a price. I was impressed with its ride, levels of comfort and good looks. It's easy to live with and will stand up to the rigours of driving a car load of kids whilst also providing a little luxury for mum and dad.

The 2019 Kia Sportage carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1900 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Kia Sportage 2019 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Kia Sportage 2019 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
Does the Kia Sportage 2019 have surging issues?
Kia confirmed that there is a software issue with the 2.0-litre diesel engine, which results in surging when the engine is cold. The told us that their supplier has been working on a solution which they hope will be available fairly soon. It is complicated by the fact the software is not supplied only to Kia and any changes have to be cleared by all users. From that I think you could assume the Tucson is probably also affected.

What is the best car to tow a camper trailer?
Camper trailers typically weigh in the range of 850 kg to 1200 kg without the extra weight of things like food, bedding, clothes, etc. so it’s probably best to look at a compact SUV. A Mazda CX5 will tow up to 1800 kg, which would seem to fit your needs. Then there’s a Kia Sportage (1600 kg), Mitsubishi Outlander (1600 kg), or Suzuki Grand Vitara (1600 kg).
