How does the Kia Sportage feel during overtaking?

The Kia Sportage should feel more confident during overtaking when the stronger-torque variants are chosen. The listed torque figures include 2025 1.6T DCT 4WD High: 265 N·m; 2025 1.6T DCT 2WD High: 265 N·m; 2025 2.0L AT 2WD High: 192 N·m; 2025 2.0L AT 2WD Standard: 192 N·m. That matters because overtaking is not just about peak power; a healthy torque output helps the car respond more naturally when you need a quick burst on highways or trunk roads.
