Used Kia Sportage Quick Facts
- A 2023 or 2024 Kia Sportage offers the best combination of reliability, features, and value on the used market.
- The Sportage is Kia’s best-selling model in the United States.
- Several configurations are available, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variants.
The Kia Sportage has been on sale in the United States for three decades and has grown into a legitimate competitor in the compact SUV segment. Offering one of the industry’s best warranties, strong value, and attractive styling, the Sportage is an excellent option on the used market, though some model years have experienced more serious issues than others. Even so, there are plenty of solid model years to choose from, so let’s take a closer look at how each generation stacks up.
What Are the Best Years to Buy a Used Kia Sportage?
The fifth-generation Sportage offers the newest technology, extensive safety features, and modern styling. A low-mileage 2023 or 2024 model could save you thousands of dollars over a new Sportage, and some warranty coverage may remain, depending on its mileage and ownership history. Moving back a generation could save even more, and the 2020-2022 Sportage models still offer many of the same desirable features. Some earlier fourth-gen SUVs experienced engine issues, though, so it’s essential to get a pre-purchase inspection.

Kia Sportage by Generation: Which Should You Buy?
Fifth Generation: 2023-Current
GDI gasoline direct injection. MPI multi-port injection. CVVT Continuously Variable Valve Timing. DOHC double overhead camshaft. TMED Transmission Mounted Electric Drive. MDPS Motor Driven Power Steering. EPB Electronic Parking Brake. GVWR gross vehicle weight rating. TMK tire mending or tire mobility kit, as each sheet words it. FWD front-wheel drive. AWD all-wheel drive. MPGe miles per gallon of gasoline equivalent. — Kia marks the configuration as not offered on that trim. n/a that powertrain’s own specification sheet does not publish the row at all — a gas Sportage has no high-voltage battery, and the hybrid sheets print no 7th or 8th gear. Fuel economy figures are Kia’s estimates.

The Kia Sportage Early Years: First and Second Generations (1995-2010)
2005-2010: The second-generation Sportage feels much more sophisticated than the first. Kia took some time off between generations, which explains the gap between model years. The second-gen Sportage is larger and more powerful than the original, riding on a car-based platform instead of a body-on-frame setup. The change somewhat reduces the Sportage’s off-road ability. Along with the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, there’s a 2.7-liter V6 option. Quality also improved with this generation. This generation of the Sportage is too old to offer things like adaptive cruise control. Still, it comes with complete airbag protection, antilock brakes, and traction and stability control later in the run.
1995-2002: The first Sportage rides on a rugged body-on-frame platform, which makes it well-suited for off-roading. Although not loaded with features, the OG Sportage had a low sticker price, helping it take hold in the American market. The first-gen Sportage features a 94-hp 2.0-liter engine sourced from Mazda and suspension tuning courtesy of Lotus. Buyers had a choice between rear-wheel drive (RWD) or 4-wheel drive (4WD), and manual or automatic transmissions.

Is the Kia Sportage a Good SUV?
Some Sportage model years have experienced more problems than competing SUVs, such as the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, but Kia has addressed many issues as they arose. The latest Sportage model years have fewer concerns associated with some earlier models, making new examples generally preferable on the used market.
Does the Kia Sportage Have a Hybrid Option?
Yes. Starting with the 2023 model, Kia began offering hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
How Much Can the Kia Sportage Tow?
The current Kia Sportage can tow up to 2,500 pounds, 500 pounds more than the previous generation.
What Are the Most Reliable Years for the Kia Sportage?
Each generation has its good and not-so-good years. For the fifth generation, we’d stick with 2024 and newer. For the fourth generation, look to 2020-2022 models.
What Are the Worst Years for the Kia Sportage?
Because of engine concerns and other problems, the third generation is probably the least desirable. However, as we noted before, if you find a used Sportage with a replacement engine, it may be worth considering after a thorough pre-purchase inspection and review of its service history.
Does the 10-Year/100,000-Mile Warranty Carry Over When Buying Used?
No. For subsequent owners, Kia’s powertrain warranty is limited to 5 years/60,000 miles from the vehicle’s original in-service date. However, if you buy a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Sportage, Kia reinstates the 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, measured from the vehicle’s in-service date.
