Used 2023 Kia Sportage for Sale nearRegina, SK

How much does the 2023 Kia Sportage cost?

Prices have softened 10.84% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 637 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Kia Sportage a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Kia Sportage earns a 4.67/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

Owners consistently praise its great value, spacious interior, and impressive features, while also liking the modern styling. The main trade-offs are fairly pedestrian performance and some desire for more trunk space and additional power under the hood.

For you, that means the Sportage makes the most sense if you want a compact SUV that stands out, feels roomy, and leans heavily into style and technology rather than outright speed. With 31.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some attractive examples.

Is the 2023 Kia Sportage reliable?

Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle people feel good about living with over time, with repeated praise for value, spaciousness, and the sense that it delivers a lot for the money. The expert review also describes it as a compelling, feature-rich SUV that should satisfy shoppers who prioritise everyday usefulness and modern equipment.

Kia also backs the Sportage with a 5-year, 100,000-kilometre comprehensive warranty in Canada, which helps reduce early ownership risk. For used buyers, the main long-term concern is less about durability and more about whether the performance and cargo space meet your needs.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Kia Sportage?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX starts with cloth seats and front-wheel drive, while the X-Line, EX, EX Premium, and X-Line Limited add standard all-wheel drive. The base trim also misses the larger display setup found higher up the range.
• Powertrain: The gas model uses a 2.5-litre inline four-cylinder engine with 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is described as competent but not especially quick.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, lane-following assist, lane-departure warning, and a backup camera. X-Line adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and safe exit warning, while EX brings adaptive cruise control.
• Infotainment: EX-and-up models get a 12.3-inch touchscreen, while the base LX uses an 8-inch screen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are on the LX, but the top interface uses wired smartphone integration.
• Fuel efficiency: The gas Sportage is rated at 9.3 L/100 km city, 7.4 L/100 km highway, and 8.4 L/100 km combined with FWD, or 10.4 L/100 km city, 8.5 L/100 km highway, and 9.5 L/100 km combined with AWD.

Which 2023 Kia Sportage trim should I buy?

The 2023 Kia Sportage is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, X-Line, EX, EX Premium, and X-Line Limited.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the essentials, including cloth seats, wireless smartphone integration, and the core safety suite. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Sportage, but it is the least polished choice.
• X-Line: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds standard AWD and more desirable equipment while staying relatively affordable. It also brings blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and safe exit warning, making it the sweet spot for many buyers.
• EX: This trim is worth a look if you want the larger 12.3-inch touchscreen and more convenience features, including dual-zone automatic climate control and adaptive cruise control.
• EX Premium: Choose this if you want a more upscale feel and are willing to pay for additional comfort and equipment over the EX.
• X-Line Limited: This is the most feature-rich version, with the best safety and tech content, including blind-view monitor, highway driving assist, front and rear parking sensors, projection LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, a surround-view camera, and a Harman Kardon audio system.

The X-Line Limited is the only trim with the blind-view monitor and highway driving assist, so if those features matter to you, that trim is the one to target.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Kia Sportage?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 637 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.84% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $27,476 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Kia Sportage's resale value?

The current average of $27,476 CAD sits slightly below last year's $30,817 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the Sportage has become more accessible for used buyers, which can make it easier for future sellers to attract attention if the vehicle is well kept. A lower entry price today can also mean less room for depreciation pressure in the near term, especially if demand stays steady.

Because shoppers continue to respond well to the Sportage’s value, styling, and equipment, a clean example should remain appealing on the used market. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Kia Sportage safe?

The 2023 Kia Sportage offers an admirable amount of collision-avoidance tech and advanced driver assistance systems as standard equipment.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, lane-following assist, lane-departure warning, and a backup camera. Moving up to X-Line adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and safe exit warning, while EX adds adaptive cruise control. The X-Line Limited is the only trim to include blind-view monitor and highway driving assist, along with front and rear parking sensors, projection LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and a surround-view camera.

Neither NHTSA nor IIHS crash-tested this model year, so there are no published crash-test results to cite here.

Should I buy a 2023 Kia Sportage or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.84% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings a redesigned look, strong technology, and a more compelling all-around package than the previous generation.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $22,221 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $27,476 CAD average.
• It offers an available turbocharged engine and a speedier character.

The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2023 if you want the newer design, stronger tech, and a more distinctive overall package. If your priority is saving money and you want a quicker-feeling Sportage, the 2022 is the better value-focused alternative.
