Car Deal of the Day: Kia Sportage hasn’t been this cheap for a while… but there’s a catch

Kia’s big-selling SUV looks great value on a two-year lease, so much so that it’s our Car Deal of the Day for 19 September

  • Under £236 per month
  • Mid-range model has most of the kit you need
  • One of the UK’s most popular cars

Back in June, we were so impressed by Kia’s Sportage SUV being available for £255 per month, we made it our Car Deal of the Day. Fast forward three months and you can now get it for £236. No prizes, then, for guessing what today’s Car Deal of the Day is. 

There is a catch here, though. This lease deal from Select Car Leasing via the Auto Express Buy A Car service is for the pre-facelift model. There’s a new, updated version available to order that we’ve already reviewed, partly explaining why you can have a brand new example of the old Sportage for a knockdown price.

That price is £235.64 a month for 24 months. You need a £3,182 initial payment and the annual mileage limit is 5,000, although you can extend this to 8,000 for an extra £18 a month, which many customers will want to do. 

This is no base-spec model, either. You’ll be getting the mid-range ‘3’ specification with the 1.6 T-GDi mild-hybrid petrol engine and front-wheel drive, which features a 157bhp motor capable of 0-62mph in just under 10 seconds and offers 43.5mpg official fuel economy. 

The numbers are nothing groundbreaking, but the Sportage is one of those cars whose strong point is a lack of weak points. The driving experience is comfortable, competent and relaxed, and the performance is more than adequate for most. 

3 trim brings heated leather seats, a parking camera and Kia’s infotainment touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay among a lot of other add-ons. All in all it’s a great price for one of our favourite family SUVs, even if there’s a newer model now on the scene.
