About Sportage

The Sportage is Kia's compact SUV and one of the brand's most important vehicles worldwide. It competes in one of the largest and most fiercely contested segments in the industry, against the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and Hyundai Tucson, and it has become one of Kia's best-selling models globally. Its combination of bold styling, practicality, value and efficient hybrid options has won it a large following among families, and it has picked up family SUV awards in several markets.

The Sportage first appeared in 1993 as one of the earliest compact SUVs, a rugged body-on-frame vehicle. It became more car-like over the following generations, and the third generation, launched in 2010, marked a design breakthrough under Peter Schreyer. The fifth generation, which arrived in 2021, introduced a dramatic boomerang-shaped light signature, a curved dual-screen dashboard and hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. A facelift brought a more conventional front end, revised taillights and design cues borrowed from Kia's electric models.

The Sportage competes with the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-5, Nissan Rogue, Subaru Forester and Volkswagen Tiguan. Its strengths include style, space, technology, hybrid efficiency and Kia's long warranty. In some markets, it competes with a growing number of Chinese electric and plug-in SUVs. It is built in several countries, including Korea and Slovakia, with versions tailored to each region, and Europe gets a shorter body than North America, where buyers expect more rear legroom and cargo space.

Coverage includes reviews of the latest Sportage and its hybrids, spy shots of updated versions, pricing and trim changes, awards and sales figures from around the world, along with comparisons with rivals. Expect market-specific launches and facelifts from Malaysia to Australia, where updated versions arrive at different times, and news about how the Sportage fits into Kia's expanding range of compact SUVs and electric crossovers, several of which now sit close to it on price and size.
