2021 Kia Sportage Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2021 Kia Sportage are quite pleased with their vehicle, particularly appreciating its power, smooth ride, and array of features. Many drivers highlight the AWD capability as a strong point, making it a reliable and comfortable choice for everyday use. However, some mention aspects they'd like improved, such as the absence of a 360 camera and a quieter cabin during rides."
Good and reliable car. Underrated but for me more reliability
July 1, 2025Bought a 21 Sportage SX AWD and had a return trip home of 250 miles so I got a good idea of the car and its features. Decent HP, Decent space inside, I really like the auto hold feature and the fact that it doesnt have a start/stop feature. Wind noise is louder than in the CTS I traded in. People complain about the MPG but I was showing 24mpg for the ride home going 75-80 on the highway. It takes regular too which is nice.
December 25, 2022I wouldn’t think of buying any other suv. AWD models are a beast . After driving for about 21 years now I no longer dread it. Smooth rides and the features are awesome. Best car I’ve ever purchased.

February 17, 2022Features are great..wish it had 360 camera and preset seat positions. Its just like a tuscon but I wanted the 2.0 turbo and it has awesome power. Great value for the price.
November 9, 2020So far so good. Seems to be a very well equipped vehicle. All in all a very comfortable ride.
