Diesel or petrol Sportage?

Diesel or petrol Sportage?

Hi I am thinking of buying a 131 or 141 Kia Sportage suv I do around 15,000 miles a year I am wondering should I be looking a petrol or Diesel engine ?

Our answer:

Hi Anthony,

If you do 15,000 miles, go for a diesel if most of that is on motorway or at higher speeds. If you do 15,000km (9,500km), definitely buy a petrol.

Saying all that, you'll be lucky to find anything other than diesel Sportages of that age, I'm afraid.
