53,000 in 1-2 weeks shows 2 things – 1) The Sportage HEV is a popular car and 2) The choice for Motability is so poor that it left a lot of customers feeling like Sportage was the only car on the scheme worth having
The only competitor during the time the HEV was on the scheme was the Kuga, but with Kia’s sharp looks and classy interior, it blew the Kuga out of the water. With such poor choice on the scheme there were literally no other alternatives in that class, which I think made it so popular.
It will be interesting when it does reappear on the scheme what the AP’s will be.
