What is the maximum towing capacity of the Kia Sportage?

I am considering purchasing a Kia Sportage and want to know its maximum towing capacity. Can you provide this information?

The maximum towing capacity of the Kia Sportage is 2,000 pounds for models equipped with the 2.4-liter engine and 1,653 pounds for models equipped with the 1.6-liter turbo engine.

It is always best to check your owner's manual for specific towing capacity information as it may vary depending on the trim level and engine size of your Kia Sportage. Additionally, make sure to properly distribute weight and use the appropriate hitch and towing equipment.

I have personally towed a small trailer with my Kia Sportage and have had no issues. Just make sure to stay within the recommended towing capacity and use caution while driving.
