Trial runs have begun

On the engines, everything is about the same, gasoline from 2 to 2.5 liters. Three liter cars did not consider:

  • Chevrolet captiva – just had a restyling, the car has a huge trunk, I really liked it. I thought to take it, but under the order for three months, I did not want to wait.
  • Opel Antara – I didn’t like the interior of the car, the captiva is fresher, everything else is the same.
  • Suzuki Grand Vitara – constant full, increased consumption, was not going to knead the dirt.
  • Nissan X-trail is a CVT, although there are no particular complaints about the 2-liter unit, but it’s somehow strange that you can’t slip on a crossover. Exorbitant maintenance costs, and the car loses a lot in value.
  • Mitsubishi Outlander – again, a variator, moreover, it literally just appeared in these cars in the Russian Federation. The rest liked it.
  • Volkswagen Tiguan – they say the leader of the niche, and you should look up to him. The salon is the best among the competitors considered. The dynamics are great. Still, I don’t really like it outwardly, plus the turbine, which is a little embarrassing.
  • Hyundai ix35 is a direct competitor, there is no direct J, the interior is a little worse, otherwise the same. By the way, the Kia Sportage machine has a direct move, which I liked more.

Engine and transmission

kia sportage 2013 on the Russian market is offered only with two types of engines – diesel and gasoline.

Automatic parking

Automatic parking KIA 2013 pleasantly surprised. You choose the place you like, press the corresponding button on the panel, turn on the rear gearshift mode, the car parks itself. But there are drawbacks. Parking system KIA Sportage 2013 does not work in heavy rain or snow. Of course, a hindrance and dirt, which often smears the rear-view camera and parking sensors. Otherwise, the Sportage 2013 fully met our expectations, the review was a success. Of course, there are negative nuances, but they are less than pluses.

Final run

The final test drive of the diesel Sportage was carried out in order to achieve the manufacturer’s specified average fuel consumption, the car drove 230 kilometers, on the outskirts of the city. The average speed of the KIA Sportage was 70 km / h, and the computer showed the long-awaited figure of 7.5 liters, quite close to the consumption indicated by the manufacturer. The next day, the consumption test drive was darkened by morning traffic jams, the indicator changed, it was equal to almost 11 liters. In any case, this is far from 20 liters. After a full test drive, our team was not disappointed with the 2013 KIA Sportage.

Car pluses

The crossover has its advantages. They are no less than cons. Therefore, car owners boldly acquire Sportage, not paying attention to shortcomings.

  1. Clear ergonomics. The German hand of the master can be traced in the interior decoration and arrangement. Therefore, inside it will be cozy and comfortable not only for the driver, but also for passengers. Aesthete users note the causticity of the orange highlight and the quality of the skin. But this is the only thing that can be removed from the list of salon advantages with a stretch.
  2. Heated rear sofa and many optional innovations. Even the first versions of Sportage cannot be called poor. After restyling, the equipment became richer. All configurations have two sockets, which makes it possible to connect many gadgets. Competitors began to have such an amount of necessary electronics only closer to 2015.
  3. Ability to control music from the steering wheel.
  4. The presence of Bluetooth.
  5. The backs of the front seats are equipped with plastic pads, which are necessary for the safe transportation of small passengers.
  6. Capacious and smooth trunk. Thanks to the geometrically verified space, everything you need will fit in the rear compartment.

The initial versions of Kia and the restyled model competed with the European “brothers”.
