Which Kia Sportage trim should I buy?

What Kia Sportage do most buyers choose?

The Kia Sportage years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a broad mix of availability, pricing, and equipment. They also sit close enough to the current generation to deliver the modern features many shoppers want.

What is the Kia Sportage's resale value?

Most Sportage model years are down year over year, which is good news if you are shopping used because it creates more room for value. The newer model years still carry higher prices, but the table shows broad softening across the line-up rather than strength concentrated in just one or two years. The smallest changes are at the older end of the range, while the larger drops are concentrated in several more recent years.

The 2014, 2016, and 2025 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
