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 the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right trim, mileage, and price combination. They also usually represent the sweet spot between newer features and broader market availability.

What is the Kia Sportage's resale value?

Most Sportage model years are showing year-over-year price declines, which is good news if you're shopping used because it creates more room for value.

That mix suggests you can still find meaningful savings across much of the lineup, especially if you're flexible on model year.

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