KIA SPORTAGE 4 PLUG-IN HYBRID
£41,795
FOR Handy electric range, bold looks, much kit AGAINST Sport mode is borderline comical
‘Spacious, economical, wellequipped SUV’ must be the easiest pitch in the world right now, and it shows. What does the plug-in hybrid bring to the table? Approx 40 miles of electric-only range and BIK of eight per cent; attractive for company buyers, but for everyone else? Hmm. It drives well and rides smoothly, but is slower to 62mph than the non plug-in hybrid. Save yourself £5k and stick with the latter: the boot’s bigger and you’ll still see circa 45mpg.
