Kia Sportage Towing Capacity Overview
The Kia Sportage towing capacity ranges between 1,650 lbs. and 2,000 lbs as specified in our data below, organized by trim, option package, and model year.
For instance, the 2019 Kia Sportage has a minimum towing capacity of 1,650 lbs, while the 2017 Kia Sportage has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 lbs.
Factors such as trim level, engine configuration, and drivetrain can impact the towing capacity of a specific model year of Kia Sportage.
Check out the Towing Capacity specifications for other makes and models.
All towing capacities are braked capacities. This means that the trailer being towed has a
braking system installed to assist with the vehicle's own braking. The towing capacities for trailers without
brakes will be much less.
Confirm all towing capacities with the owner's manual.
