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

Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada fuel economy ratings for the non-hybrid Sportage are 8.3 litres per 100 kilometres combined (9.3 city, 7.0 highway) with FWD and 8.9 L/100 km combined (9.9 city, 7.8 highway) with AWD. The other powertrain options are more efficient: the Sportage Hybrid is rated at 6.7 L/100 km combined, and the plug-in hybrid gets up to 53 kilometres of all-electric driving — but these numbers are comparable to the non-hybrid competition.
• Infotainment: A 12.3-inch touchscreen is standard, while it’s joined by a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster on the X-Line Limited trim. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard along with SiriusXM satellite radio.

Which Kia Sportage trim should I buy?

The 2026 Kia Sportage offers these trims:

• LX: The entry point uses the 2.5-litre engine with front-wheel drive and the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, making it the value-focused choice if you want the Sportage’s core design and equipment at the lowest price.
• LX AWD: Adds all-wheel drive to the LX formula for extra traction and broader all-weather confidence.
• X-Line: Adds the X-Line appearance package with different front and rear bumpers, a tread-like stitching pattern for SynTex artificial leather upholstery, and all-season tires on 19-inch wheels.
• EX: Adds more equipment and is one of the trims available with 17-inch or 18-inch wheels.
• EX Premium: Adds 19-inch wheels and sits in the sweet spot for shoppers who want a more upscale feel without moving to the top trim.
• X-Line Limited: Adds the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, Harman Kardon premium audio, a head-up display, and digital key functionality.

What Kia Sportage do most buyers choose?

The Kia Sportage years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, colour, and price. They also sit close enough to the current generation to deliver newer features while still offering used-car savings.

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 and want to benefit from softer pricing. The newer model years are still declining, but at a slower pace than many older ones, while one older year is moving in the opposite direction.

The 2014, 2016, and 2026 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Kia Sportage safe?

• 2026: 10/10
• 2023: 7/10
• 2022: 8/10

The 2026 Sportage includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and lane following assist.

For the safest used buy, the 2026 model posts the highest confirmed score of 10/10.
