Automakers long ago discovered that the consumers flocking to the sport utility segment wanted more than boxes on wheels with AWD traction. They wanted style, too, and Kia was among the first to deliver it with the second-generation version of its Sportage compact utility. Then they upped that ante with a 2017 redesign into a third generation that lent this vehicle a distinctly upscale look: if you can't see a hint of Porsche Macan or Cayenne in this Kia, it might be time to get your eyes checked.

Updates for 2019 are limited to the elimination of one paint option and the addition of a Homelink garage door opener to the EX Premium trim.

That package sits roughly in the middle of a range that once again includes LX, EX and SX variants. LX and EX share a 2.4L four-cylinder engine that generates 181 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque, while the SX Turbo gets a gutsy 2.0L turbo four that makes 237 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Both engines come matched to a six-speed automatic transmission; LX starts as a front-driver and can be optioned to AWD, which is standard in all other trims.

The compact utility class is split roughly into two camps: models that come with a single, mainstream-minded engine choice, like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4; and cars like the Sportage, which, along with the Ford Escape and Chevrolet Equinox, offer big turbo power from an uplevel engine choice.

That sounds like fun, but this is a heavy vehicle that needs that boosted engine to feel quick. Another downside of such a combination is that it makes the Sportage thirsty, especially compared to the Honda CR-V, whose little (and much less potent) 1.5L turbo is an economy champ. But power is power, and the Sportage SX Turbo has what it takes to satisfy heavy right feet.

Kia used to be a value leader that crammed features into its vehicles at bargain prices, but the Sportage can now be optioned into a $39,600 vehicle in SX Turbo form. At least it looks like it’s worth that kind of money and comes with niceties like navigation, eight-inch infotainment screen, upgraded stereo, wireless smartphone charging, hands-free power tailgate, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a full suite of active safety features.

Fuel consumption estimates are 10.3/7.8 L/100 km (city/highway) for a 2.4L FWD model and 11.3/9.5 when AWD is added. SX Turbo models are rated at 11.9/10.2 L/100 km.

Recall Information

Recall #

Date

System Affected

Model Years

Manufacturer Recall #: INC003

Units Affected: 647384

Type: Inconsequential

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the compliance label may be missing information in French. The words listed on the label for "Tires", "Rims", "Front" and "Rear" appear in English only, when they should be listed as "Tires/Pneus", "Rims/Jantes", "Front/Avant" and "Rear/Arriere". Canadian regulations require this information to be listed on the label in both English and French. 

Safety Risk: 
These small errors do not affect vehicle safety. 

Corrective Actions: 
This is not a recall. Kia has corrected the compliance label for all new vehicles.

Manufacturer Recall #: RC152

Units Affected: 9612

Type: Safety TC

Details:

Issue: 
Certain vehicles may be equipped with an accessory trailer wiring harness that could fail. Over time, water could leak into the control module and cause a short circuit. If this happens, there could be loss of the trailer lights. 
Note: This recall affects trailer wiring harness kits that may have been ordered at the time of a vehicle purchase, or purchased separately from a dealer as an aftermarket accessory. 

Safety Risk: 
A loss of trailer lights could make the trailer less visible. In addition, other drivers may not recognize that the vehicle ahead is braking or intends to turn. This could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Kia will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the trailer wiring harness. If the harness is from the lot (batch) affected by this problem, the dealer will replace it. Kia recommends that you should always check to ensure that trailer lights work properly before towing.

Manufacturer Recall #: RC142

Units Affected: 59106

Type: Safety Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a problem in the control module for the antilock brake system (ABS) could cause it to short circuit. 
Note: This recall does not affect vehicles equipped with Smart Cruise Control (SCC). 
 
Safety Risk: 
A short circuit could create a fire risk. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install new ABS fuse(s) and, on certain models, update the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) software. Kia recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.

Manufacturer Recall #: SC029

Units Affected: 26082

Type: Safety TC

Details:

Issue: 
Kia Canada is conducting a Product Improvement Campaign that provides an update to the engine control module to detect potential problems before an engine fails. An engine failure may cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the engine control module.
