What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Sportage?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the entry point, while the LX Nightsky adds equipment over the base trim and the EX gains a standard panoramic sunroof. The EX and SX also bring more safety equipment, so base-trim shoppers should check which features are missing before deciding.
• Powertrain: Most Sportages use a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with 181 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque, while the SX gets a turbocharged setup with 237 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. The standard engine is competent, but the turbo model is the one to seek if you want stronger acceleration.
• Safety package: The EX and SX include forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assistance. Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert is also fitted to those trims and the LX Nightsky.
• Infotainment: You get an 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The SX adds UVO Intelligence connected services, satellite radio, wireless smartphone charging, and an 8-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: No fuel-consumption figure is stated in the provided data.

Which 2022 Kia Sportage trim should I buy?

The 2022 Kia Sportage is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, LX Nightsky, EX, EX Premium S, and SX.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the starting point if you want the Sportage’s core design, standard touchscreen, and basic everyday usability at the lowest entry cost.
• LX Nightsky: This is the better-value pick if you want a step up from the base trim, especially because it adds blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert.
• EX: This trim is the sweet spot for many shoppers because it adds the panoramic sunroof and the full safety suite, making it a strong balance of comfort and equipment.
• EX Premium S: Choose this if you want a more upscale-feeling version of the EX with additional equipment, while staying below the top trim.
• SX: This is the one to buy if you want the turbocharged engine, standard AWD, the best audio system, and the most complete feature set.

The safety-package trim note is simple: the EX and SX carry the most complete driver-assistance equipment, while the LX Nightsky adds blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Kia Sportage?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully and enough deal activity to find value.

• Deal availability: 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 503 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.98% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $22,105 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Kia Sportage's resale value?

The current average of $22,175 CAD sits slightly below last year's $25,484 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the Sportage has become more accessible for used buyers, but it also means future sellers may face a more competitive resale environment. If you buy well and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you may be better positioned to protect value when it is time to sell. The current market also suggests that buyers are still willing to consider the model, especially when the price is right.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Kia Sportage safe?

The 2022 Kia Sportage earns an Acceptable headlight rating from IIHS, which is enough to put it over the line for an IIHS Top Safety Pick laurel.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The EX and SX trims include forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assistance. Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert is also included on those trims and the LX Nightsky, while the SX adds adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability.

One caveat is that only the SX earns the Acceptable headlight rating mentioned above, so trim choice matters if safety equipment is a priority.

Should I buy a 2022 Kia Sportage or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.98% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the stylish, up-to-date feel of the pre-redesign Sportage.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $27,298 CAD, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $22,175 CAD average.
• It brings a more distinctive design and a stronger all-around appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2022 is the smarter buy. If you can stretch for a newer and more distinctive Sportage, the 2023 is the better long-term choice, but price-sensitive shoppers should focus on the 2022 while deals remain available.
