I’m looking to purchase a 2018/2019 Sportage in the UK and will be going for petrol, either the 1.6 GDi (130bhp) or 1.6 T-GDi (174bhp). My thoughts so far: I fear the 1.6 won’t have enough power. I don’t think there’s that much fuel economy difference between the two, correct me if I’m wrong...

I have a UK Sportage 2.0 CRDi KX-3 5d 2012/62 - The rear driver side window comes down with the drivers switch but won't go up. I reach into the back and use the switch on the door itself to put it up. The local garage said i need a new switch.. £149 +VAT.. so thinking about buying one and...

Hi, hoping someone can help. I've got 14 Plate Sportage 1.7 and the Central Locking is intermittent at the moment. Some days it will work fine, other's it just won't work. I can lock the car via the drivers keyhole but this isn't locking the back doors/boot. If I turn the car on or off a few...

Hello all, My clutch is slipping on my 2017 Sportage KX3 2.0 Diesel. It's currently sitting having done 37500 miles so I'd say that's a bit low to be happening. Does anyone have experience of this and know whether it's covered by warranty? Thanks

Recently my sportage has been unable to be used due to it atuttering and not driving. This began with whilst driving the engine wouldnt go above 2000rpm in any gear and would stutter and stall. Now this has got worse with the engine cutting out as well as the dashboard lighting up like a...

Hey all, I have a 2017 Sportage with about 35k miles, but my Sportage started to make this whining but more like rattling noise when I accelerate at 1300-2300 rpm, I recorded the noise on my phone and it sounds more like metal rattle noise, can someone please listen to it and let me know...

Hi All Posting this after our 2013 1.7 Diesel Sportage left my OH and our 8 month old stranded in Lane 2 of the A1 in rush hour this morning... By the time I got to her she had managed to get it off the carriageway to the side of the road thankfully, but she was distraught and very shaken up...

I had problems in the recent snow fall where my Sportage 1.7 2016 would not pull uphill in the snow, feeling as if it had lost power. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Hello all, I live in Cyprus & Im looking at purchasing a Sportage 2.0 CRDI AWD with 40k miles from a local non Kia car dealership. Re it’s service history, only the second (30k miles) of the first 2 scheduled inspections/service has been carried out. The first 10k mile service is missing in...

Hi - my (new to me) 65 plate Sportage suffers terrible condensation. Worse than my cars back in the 70s. Any ideas, please. What’s going on and what can I do? Thanks Gareth

Hello all, i have a Kia Sportage 1.7 diesel 2012. I recently had a service on my car. I picked the car up from the mechanic on Friday and drove it home around 30 miles, no problems, popped to Tesco’s the next day and the car struggled to start then on the way home cut out about 2-3 times, no...

Hello, Just ordered a brand new (my2021) Kia Sportage GT Line S 1.6 Diesel Hybrid AWD automatic in Blue Flame, so I thought I had better say hello. It is to replace my 5yr old Hyundai Tucson 2.0 diesel AWD auto which has been faultless since I got it new. I should get the Sportage around...

Grabbed myself a set of 1 month old mats and flaps last weekend. Came to fit this weekend. Having, stupidly, presumed all Sportage from 2016 onwards were the same. Only to find the rear flaps are different from 2019 on. So the rear flaps are up for grabs. £20 and happy to post. Thanks

Hi, I am collecting my “new” 2016 Sportage GT Line on Sunday and am looking to buy a waterproof fitted boot liner to cover the whole boot (including the sides). Can anyone recommend a place to buy? Any advice much appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I own a 2018 Sportage - GT Line and I'm looking for a towbar. The car is a lease car. I have had it OKd by the lease company to have one fit, as long as it's done correctly and by an approved garage. I've found this one in the link below, but seems a lot cheaper than what I've been quoted...

Hi all, I have a 2009 Sportage, 4 cyl., a/c, runs very well, except... if I don't drive it for 2 days, it goes dead. No lights, no click or sound when I try to start. I put in a new battery, no improvement. It only has 105,000 km! My garage says everything is OK, but obviously, it isn't...

Got a problem with a Kia Sportage KX2 2.0 CRDi AWD from 2017 where the left hand indicator has broken and is wiggling around. Feel it might have snapped. Have looked online and it looks relatively easy to disconnect the battery, remove the airbag, slip off the wheel, notch the steering wheel...

I have just taken my 2016 Kia Sportage to a Kia Garage to book it in for a service (4th year service) and was quoted £460.00 which seems incredibly excessive to me. Do I HAVE to get the service done at a Kia Garage if I have the car on PCP and is that price about the norm? Thanks in advance...

Good morning all I have a 2016 Sportage First Edition and I believe my bearings are beginning to go and have emailed 4 local dealers asking whether this would be covered under the 7 year warranty with various results. Without naming stores, 2 told me that it would not be covered, 1 told me...
