Kia Sportage SUV 1.6T GDi 157 48V ISG GT-Line S 5dr DCT Owner Review

The driver safety systems don’t work properly in real driving situations. We have this Sportage and a KIA Stonic, the driving aids are common across both cars and both suffer the same problems. On the Sportage, frustration starts with its pointless keyless entry system, then continues with having to remember to disable the lane assist system or you'll be all over the road. This is everytime you start the vehicle as it resets everytime. Its very frustrating. The dashboard consistently pings at you, you have to learn to ignore it. Overall, it feels like a 10 year old designed the systems in this car, then ran out of development time before this car then went to market. The safety systems are immature in their design, they need a lot of further work to develop their effectiveness because as it stands, this car just leads to a frustrating, stressful, unsafe drive.
