Firstly, check if your Kia Sportage's air conditioning compressor is functioning properly. If not, it could be due to a faulty condenser or a leak in the system. If the compressor is fine, then it could be an issue with a clogged cabin air filter.

Another possible cause could be a refrigerant leak. This can happen over time and can result in reduced cooling capacity. Make sure to have a professional check your Kia Sportage's refrigerant levels and repair any leaks.

It's also important to regularly clean or replace the air conditioning system's evaporator and condenser coils. Accumulated dirt and debris can hinder the system's performance.

If all of the above steps have been checked and the issue still persists, then it's best to take your Kia Sportage to a certified technician for further diagnosis and repair.
