The new Kia Sportage 'Storm' — available to order now at Westdrive Kia Braintree

Westdrive Kia Braintree has introduced the new Kia Sportage 'Storm' to its showroom line-up, giving Essex drivers a limited window to order Kia's newest special-edition SUV grade before the current offer period closes on 31 August 2026.

The Sportage Storm brings a higher specification to the UK's best-selling SUV, and is available now to view, test drive and order at Westdrive Kia Braintree. Contact us on 01376 344000 for current pricing, finance options and availability across both the petrol and hybrid Storm versions.

“Storm has been created to give Sportage customers more — more equipment, more presence and more confidence behind the wheel — without stepping all the way up to our range-topping trim. It's a genuinely good addition to the line-up, and with the current offer period, there has never been a better time to order one at Westdrive.”

Positioned between GT-Line and GT-Line S, the Sportage Storm gives customers a noticeably higher level of standard equipment without the step up to the most expensive versions in the range. Exterior highlights include new 18-inch alloy wheels, a gloss black radiator grille and wheel arches, full LED lighting front and rear, and privacy glass on the rear windows and tailgate.

Inside, the Storm grade gains a larger 12.3-inch driver display alongside Kia's familiar dual-screen infotainment layout, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlight control, and heated, electrically folding door mirrors with integrated LED indicators. Three premium metallic paint finishes — Wolf Grey, Phantom Black and Dark Penta Metal — are included as standard, with no additional cost for customers.

Sportage Storm ICE

Powered by a 1.6-litre T-GDi petrol engine producing 147bhp and 250Nm of torque, the Sportage Storm ICE is available with a six-speed manual gearbox from £34,395 OTR, or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic from £36,095 OTR. It's a strong fit for drivers who want the Storm look and specification with the flexibility of a traditional petrol drivetrain.

Sportage Storm Hybrid (HEV)

The Sportage Storm Hybrid pairs the same 1.6-litre T-GDi petrol engine with a 1.49kWh lithium-ion polymer battery and electric motor, delivering a combined 235bhp and 380Nm of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission. From £37,895 OTR, it's built for drivers who want stronger performance, improved efficiency and lower running costs, without moving to a plug-in model.

Order by 31 August 2026

Customers ordering a new Kia Sportage Storm between now and 31 August 2026 can take advantage of up to £3,000 towards their PCP deposit on Hybrid models, or £2,500 towards their PCP deposit on ICE models.

The offer also includes 5.9% APR representative on PCP finance, helping make the move into a new Sportage Storm more affordable across both petrol and hybrid versions.

With order books open now and this offer running for a limited time only, the team at Westdrive Kia Braintree recommends booking a test drive early to avoid missing out before the 31 August deadline.
