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

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, lane following assist, front and rear parking sensors, driver fatigue warning, rear-seat reminder, and door-opening alerts.
• Infotainment: a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus SiriusXM satellite radio.
• 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.

Which Kia Sportage trim should I buy?

The 2026 Kia Sportage offers these trims:

• LX: the entry point with the 2.5-litre engine, six-speed automatic, and standard 12.3-inch touchscreen; a sensible starting point if you want the lowest-priced new-generation Sportage.
• LX AWD: adds all-wheel drive to the LX formula for buyers who want extra traction in everyday driving.
• X-Line: adds a more rugged look 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 while keeping the Sportage’s core comfort-and-tech appeal intact.
• EX Premium: adds 19-inch wheels and sits as the best-value step if you want a richer look and more equipment without moving to the top trim.
• X-Line Limited: adds the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charging, a Harman Kardon premium audio system, 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 often line up with the model’s strongest mix of modern features and used-market availability.

What is the Kia Sportage's resale value?

Most Sportage model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it creates more room for value. The newer years are also falling, though some have dropped more sharply than others, so recent-model shoppers may find better pricing than they did a year ago.

The 2016, 2025, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
