The KIA SPORTAGE (1995-04) 5DR SUV 2.0 SX AUTO4 is a five-door compact SUV, offering a higher-riding alternative to ordinary family hatchbacks. In the UK market it brought practical SUV versatility to a more affordable class, with a straightforward, purposeful look rather than the polish of newer crossovers. It suits buyers wanting a roomy everyday runabout, a useful second car or a budget-conscious family vehicle, especially those who value the automatic gearbox and SUV stance. Compared with similarly aged family cars, its raised shape and rugged character are the main draw; expect an older, simpler driving experience, and check condition, service history and running costs carefully before buying. mycarcheck.com records five look-ups across three distinct VINs, so these figures are indicative only. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £200, average recorded mileage of 57,000 and four previous keepers—useful context, not a guarantee for any individual Sportage.
