Sportage offers car loans customers 'top value for money'
Dec 29 2008Unsecured Car Loans customers looking to purchase a top 4x4 at an affordable price could find the ideal solution in the form of the Kia Sportage.
The model has been named Value for Money Champion in the Planet 4x4 2008 Awards, securing the title for the third successive year.
It underwent a series of rigorous on-road and off-road tests and was named as the winner on account of its all-round quality, practicality and value for money.
The Sportage has seen a number of upgrades since it won last year's gong, including improved suspension, a "beefier" braking system and more comprehensive interior equipment.
"Each year our testers are startled afresh by what a practical, well-built, well-equipped and good-to-drive package it delivers, at a price that makes most other manufacturers look greedy," said Alan Kidd, editor of Planet 4x4.
Buyers will require around £15,000 of Car Finance to buy the vehicle, which was also named Best Budget 4x4 in the latest Towcar Awards.
