I can't say too much, but I'm from a main dealer workshop. If one of these has a 1.6 GDI engine, it has to have been looked after (no services missed), biggest problem being disappearing oil and compression loss in the end. The oil change interval is quite long, and many don't have a service reminder - so not every owner cared enough! Missing a service can mean game over. Scenarios like that aren't uncommon and not at moon mileages. A new 'short block' is the common route - but remember, that 7 year cover is gone for most of these. So be prepared for a big bill unless you buy wisely. The 1.6, 1.7 and 2.0 diesels are quite good and can last a long while. The 2.0 is a downsized Sorento engine and although agricultural, is very tough. Oil changes are very important for the 1.6/1.7s too as they can suffer sludge problems if not maintained properly. Check for bowed radiator bases on the diesels. Warranty covers this, it's likely been replaced already but worth checking the history. Early in the model run there was actually a 2.0 petrol, twin cam, which was port injected. That's a great engine. If you're looking at these SLs for yourself, by all means buy one of those, it's the pick of the bunch if you don't want a diesel. Overall a good buy if reasonably priced/cared for - comfortable, good driving position and very practical. I could write a book about this model but not for public viewing!

And I just now replaced my sway bar links front and rear last weekend by myself. Other than those things, this car has been rock solid reliable,and has never broken down, and has started 100% of the time.

That’s crazy! Goes to show they can run for years as long as you maintain them properly and I don’t think I’ll be saying goodbye to this one for a very long time. Although how is the 2.4 in terms of power and the only other question I have is if you know any of the more common misdemeanours I should be looking out for the long term?

@@crazitor1030 One thing I've avoided is taking my car to the dealer for any work. Especially I don't trust them with the recall update on the computer. I figured if you get past 150k with no issues,then your car is fine. Dealers tend to ruin things. Either use a trusty mechanic,or do it yourself. I find this car is super easy to work on,and the parts are fairly cheap and abundant. Yes my 2.4 is a little slow, but it's AWD, and fully loaded with all the bells and whistles that came out back then. But I'm more happy about the reliability than anything else. This is the first car we've had which has over exceeded the long payments of 5 1/2 years. Even our Camry only lasted 209k before the motor blew out. Also as in your case, mine mostly is highway only driven daily. But 13 years and 316k later, the lack of power is nothing to cry about I also wanted to add that there is no rust, and no oil leaks at all. I'm in Florida,so that could be the reason for no rust. Right now I'm fixing to "plastidip" the front and top of it for a little change of looks. Have a good one. Stay safe!

Back in 2015 I hired a Focus, but they 'upgraded' me to a Sportage in the same spec as this one. I thought it was a downgrade at first as I always thought of Kia as a budget brand, but quickly changed my mind. Did just over 1000 miles over a few days, me and three others, all our luggage and it was brilliantly comfortable, refined and surprisingly economical. Tried to talk my mum into one when she was changing her car. She went for a Qashqai instead which was horrifically unreliable!

This is a very popular car here in Australia. They are very reliable and competitively priced. The seven-year warranty was a smart move by Kia. With fixed-price servicing and seven-year warranty they represent safe, reliable motoring with no nasty surprises. I bought a Kia Optima in 2010, over the next 11 years I did 220,000 kilometres and the only issue I had was an air-conditioning compressor. It still had the same brake pads and discs when I sold it. The new Kia Sportage is a beautiful car.

I was a long time Ceed owner, same year as this Sportage. Did 90,000 miles in it. Overall very reliable and Kia were good with the warranty, Ironically had all the issues you mentioned other than the sunroof.

I drove a Sportage 2017 2.0D KX3 for a while as a business car. Leather front and rear seats, Lane assist, amazing JBL audio, and loads of spec. Great car, just underpowered.

Yes! I’ve been waiting for this. Recently bought a 2021 GTLine-S 1.6 petrol turbo with DCT and love it! It’s been a long time since I had a car that I go for a drive in for no particular reason but I do with this one. First thing I did was open the pan roof, clean and dress the rubber seals and lithium grease the running tracks. Thanks for the video Matt, your assessment was fair and true as always 😎

Another winner Matt. I had the ix35 counterpart until recently. Just edged it over the Kia with the interior and push button go. I'm always a bit giddy to see a new videos up and you never disappoint. Keep on truckin'

Such a brilliant car. My dad had an IX35 with the 1.7 diesel as a company car and he was extremely impressed with it’s equipment and reliability. Without wishing to sound like every armchair-toyota expert, it did 60k and genuinely didn’t need anything apart from servicing, brakes and tyres. The only issue he had was a breakdown which was the result of some dodgy fuel (my mum had exactly the same issue at exactly the same time from the exact same diesel). Very impressive cars, id say the sofa-caster wheels that some models of Sportage came on ride very well too. Cheers Matt, great video 👍🏼👍🏼

I really like these. Had a 2017 GT a few years ago. Great car and spec. Really impressed by the new electric. One of the best looking on the market.

I quite like these, will be on the shortlist for next time.

'hired one of these when visiting the in-laws a couple of years back I was very impressed. Good smooth diesel and handling when fully loaded. They (the in-laws) were in their 90s and it was a perfect height for getting them in and out. Did a sprint from York to Pickering to catch the Whitby steam train. I did test drive the petrol version here in NZ but prefer the diesel or frankly, the newer Kia models which seem quieter and more modern all round. Still, it's a good solid looking and competent car for a good price.

Matt, a fantastic review of the Kia Sportage. I have the model that you were driving. I did 160,000 miles before the clutch had to be changed with sensible driving it would have gone on a little longer; however, the majority of my driving was on the motorway. The seats on a long journey are extremely comfortable. The sunroof issue is easily resolved with a little WD-40; the rear parking camera went fairly quickly, but I decided not to incur the expense of having it repaired. I have had many cars over the years; this is one of the very best for comfort on a long journey.

I have a 2018 sport age and love it, may trade up to new one next year.

Man, you would FLIP over the 2023 edition!!!

An ex-gf bought a new one ( 1.6 petrol ) when they came out in early 2011. I liked it. She loved it. She changed it after 3 years to a similar shape Mazda something (though it was a bit bigger) with a 2.0 litre engine. Counter-intuitively (at least for me), the Mazda with a bigger engine got 25% better mileage.

I can agree that the Sportage III and the ix35 are pretty good cars, not perfect but they're nice. In 2021 we bought a 2012 ix35 2.0 2WD with low 15.000miles the touchscreen froze when I handed the car over to the second owner, unfortunite but happens. The 2.0 Theta 4 cylinder gas engines are somewhat noisy for being gas port injection engines and the later 2.0 GDI had lots of recalls in the U.S don't know about the European market but I guess they got all of the fire risk problems solved. The 1.6 GDI is a quiet and fine unite not super fast but pretty good if it's used mainly in town and outside of city. The 2.0 CRDi is acutally pulling good on the autobahn and not to loud I agree on the MPG in the midrange, the 1.7 CRDi is more conversative but also does the job well. No particular problems with DPF, EGR valves or timing chains like you'd get on a much more expensive X3 or turbo problems like in a GLK :) The steering wheel gets shabby real fast tho on every Kia of that era but not Hyundais idk why.

Great car and a golden warrenty. I had a few issues. All was dealt with by KIA. I sold it when moving abroad with 2 years remaining warranty. I didn't even get it advertised.

Honest, calm, and informative. What exactly do you need more?

Hi Matt and thanks for this latest review, I drive a 2014 1.7 KIA Sportage with the level 4 trim, I bought it 3 years ago as I had suffered a back injury and I needed something that was going to easy to get in and out of, the Sportage fitted the bill perfectly, I had initially intended to keep it for a year until I got my fitness back, but here I am three years later and still driving it. The reason is that I haven't found anything else yet that gives me the room and versatility that the KIA does. It has most of the options that I need, most importantly the heated steering wheel, first World problems eh? I agree with your summation, that it does everything well but does nothing great. Test drove a Mazda CX5 on Sunday but found that my left leg was trapped against the centre console and just a bit too tight for my needs. Anyway great review, all the best...🙂
