What is the average lifespan of a Kia Sportage's engine?

I am considering buying a used Kia Sportage and I am wondering how long the engine typically lasts before needing major repairs or replacement.

It really depends on how well the previous owner maintained the vehicle. But as a general rule, with regular maintenance, a Kia Sportage's engine can last up to 200,000 miles.

I have a friend who has a Kia Sportage with over 250,000 miles on the original engine. Just make sure to follow the recommended maintenance schedule and you should have no problems with the engine longevity.

My advice would be to have a trusted mechanic inspect the engine before purchasing a used Kia Sportage. They can give you a better idea of the engine's condition and potential lifespan.
