LIVING WITH: The All-New Kia Sportage. Part 2: Comfort & Space...

In the last blog we got the first impressions out of the way - It seems everyone in the family has a different agenda when it comes to cars, and the Sportage managed to tick all the boxes. So far, so good.

In this blog we'll look at comfort and space - both important if you're going to spend any time in a car! 

The Sportage's ability to deliver warmth / cooling / comfort to all parts of the anatomy...

The model we had benefitted from leather seats. Some like leather, some don't. Personally for me leather is a plus- easy to keep clean, hard wearing and looks, well, top-of-the-range! People often make comments though about leather seats being too hot or too cold, depending on the weather. 

This is where the Sportage KX3 came up trumps. See the video below- the seats can actually cool you as well as warm you up! 

My back is also a good way of measuring how comfortable a car is- I have to confess I'm always fiddling with the seats in search of the ultimate comfortable position. This model of the Sportage benefitted from electric settings for the seats. Two buttons located on the right of the seat next to your bum ran the show... You can move the seat up, down, in, out and adjust the lumber support. I actually managed to find the ULTIMATE position which I tested over a 150 mile round trip. The back? not a murmur...

Space, space and more space...

Plenty of room in the Sportage for all. Long legs? Sorted. Short legs? Sorted. Two kids kept far enough apart in the back? Sorted! The huge sunroof (see below pic) also gave the impression of even more space. All in all nice, relaxing driving for everyone.

I've eluded to there being plenty of space for everyone - and that includes the family dog, a very large, ex-professional racing greyhound, called 'Pal', who was happy to show his feelings towards the car on camera. Well, he's been on Sky Sports a few times so he's not camera shy. Check out Pal's review, below...

Thanks for reading the blog, coming up soon is Part 3- safety and handling.
