Is the Kia Sportage equipped with a CVT transmission?

I'm considering purchasing a Kia Sportage, and I've heard conflicting information about whether it has a CVT transmission or a conventional automatic transmission. Can you clarify this for me?

Yes, the 2021 Kia Sportage is equipped with a CVT transmission.

That's a great question. The Kia Sportage actually has both options available - the LX and EX models have a conventional automatic transmission, while the S and SX Turbo models have a more advanced 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). Let me know if you have any other questions!

As an owner of a 2020 Kia Sportage, I can say that the CVT transmission has been very reliable for me. It offers smooth and efficient shifting, and I haven't experienced any issues with it so far.
