# Kia Sportage

Model years 2018–2027

The Kia Sportage is an SUV or crossover nameplate from Kia, designed for passenger comfort, cargo utility and everyday driving. Across its model years, powertrain, drivetrain, passenger space, cargo capacity, towing capability and equipment can vary substantially. Shoppers should compare the exact year and trim because specifications, features, recalls, known problems and ownership costs can change over time.
