Kia Sportage
Template:Short description Template:Use British English Template:Infobox automobile
The Kia Sportage (Template:Langx) is a series of automobiles manufactured by the South Korean manufacturer Kia since 1993 through five generations. Initially a compact SUV built on a body-on-frame chassis, the second-generation Sportage transitioned to a car-based platform which placed it into the compact crossover SUV class, and was originally developed alongside the Hyundai Tucson and since the fifth-generation model launched in 2021, in two sizes with different wheelbase lengths for different markets, alongside the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Kia Sorento.
The Sportage has been the best-selling Kia model globally since 2016 after surpassing the Rio. In 2018, the model reached the 5 million production milestone.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Template:As of, the Sportage is positioned between the Seltos or Niro and the three-row Sorento in Kia's SUV global lineup with the latter sharing platform with the Sportage.
Template:AnchorFirst generation (NB; 1993)
Template:Infobox automobile The first-generation Kia Sportage was developed with a Mazda Bongo engineering base platform. It shares many mechanical components such as the engine, transmissions (early versions), and differentials with the Mazda line of vehicles. This was during Kia's alliance with Ford and Mazda, which involved Ford/Mazda providing technology and Kia providing inexpensive manufacturing facilities for Ford Company.
From 1995 to 1998, the Sportage was built by Karmann in Germany; European buyers received German-built versions in that period, while the rest of the world received South Korean-built versions. It was launched in Asia in July 1993 and European sales started two years later.
The Sportage was sold in either a five-door SUV or a three-door soft-top convertible. Kia initially developed the wagon in standard length form, but in circa 1996, the company released an extended length version. This stretched model—mainly sold in Asian markets under the name "Sportage Grand", but also as the "Grand Wagon"—featured a Template:Convert longer body utilizing the same wheelbase, an increase in luggage capacity from Template:Convert, and the relocation of the spare wheel from the tailgate to underneath the floor.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Kia offered three Mazda-sourced engines in the Sportage, beginning with the 2.0-litre FE DOHC inline-four petrol unit producing Template:Convert and the 2.0-litre RF inline-four diesel rated at Template:Convert. Diesel-engined models were mostly restricted to European markets, as was the more basic single overhead camshaft (SOHC) version of the 2.0-litre FE petrol inline-four. Delivering Template:Convert, this petrol engine was available from 2000 onwards. In North America, the 2.0-litre FE DOHC engine produced Template:Convert and had optional four-wheel drive. The 1997 model year Kia Sportage was the world's first production vehicle to be equipped with a knee airbag.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
This first-generation model (1993–2002) sold in low numbers, even domestically in South Korea, and models after Hyundai's 1998 partial takeover of Kia (1997–2002) were recalled twice for rear wheels dismounting while driving. The first-generation Sportage was discontinued in South Korea in 2002, and in North America after the 2002 model year. By 2003, most international markets had discontinued the Sportage range, although it remained on sale in some developing countries until its second-generation replacement arrived in 2005.
The Kia Sportage scored the lowest possible result in the Australian ANCAP crash tests – one star out of five. As well as a failure of the seat belts, the vehicle structure collapsed.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Template:Anchor Second generation (JE/KM; 2004)
Template:Infobox automobile After a two-year hiatus, the Sportage returned in model-year 2005, sharing a Hyundai Elantra-based platform with the first-generation Hyundai Tucson. A 2.0 L straight-4 diesel engine was available in the United Kingdom. Fans of the original pre-Hyundai Sportage and critics complained that it was considerably larger than the original Sportage and had none of its off-road capability, the two keys to its success. However, buyers of the second-generation model were likely to favor the available Template:Cvt V6, with Template:Cvt. Overall fit/finish and quality was noticeably improved over the first-generation model.Template:Citation needed
A facelift model of the second generation was introduced in May 2008. From 2006, it was manufactured at the Žilina Plant in Slovakia. A second facelift was introduced in the UK in early 2009, only a few months after its first facelift.
The Sportage was named as one of the most reliable vehicles from the 2009 Consumer Reports reliability survey.<ref>Consumer Reports' 2009 Annual Car Reliability Survey Template:Webarchive 27 October 2009. Reuters</ref> and ranked second in the "20 least expensive 2009 vehicles to insure" list by Insure.com.<ref>The Most Expensive Cars to Insure Template:Webarchive 3 June 2009, U.S. News Rankings & Reviews</ref>

To pass this test, a vehicle's roof must be able to withstand the force of three times the vehicle's weight (acceptable rating).

Template:AnchorFourth generation (QL; 2015)
Template:Infobox automobile Kia unveiled its newly redesigned Sportage at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2015, and brought it to market in 2016 (as a 2017 model in North America). The company said the contrasting sharp edges and smooth surfaces were inspired by modern fighter jets.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
There are three petrol engines, as well as one diesel engine in the line-up. The petrol options are a 1.6-litre, 2.0-litre or 2.4-litre, offering Template:Cvt and Template:Cvt, Template:Cvt and Template:Cvt, and Template:Cvt and Template:Cvt respectively, while the diesel is a 2.0-litre, R-series turbo producing Template:Cvt and Template:Cvt. A Template:Cvt and Template:Cvt 1.6 T-GDi turbo-petrol with an optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also available. Front- (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations are available.
In North America, the fourth generation Sportage was offered with three trim levels (LX, EX, and SX). Much like the previous model, it is available with two inline-four engine choices, a naturally aspirated 2.4-litre and a turbocharged 2.0-litre. The 2.4-litre produces Template:Cvt and Template:Cvt, while the turbocharged engine makes Template:Cvt and Template:Cvt, with small variations in performance dependent on whether FWD or AWD is configured. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
