What is the most reliable engine for the Kia Sportage?

As I'm looking to purchase a Kia Sportage, I want to make sure I get the most reliable engine. I've heard different opinions, but I wanted to hear from someone who has experience with the vehicle. Any recommendations?

In my experience, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine has been the most reliable for the Kia Sportage. It's fuel efficient and has enough power for daily driving.

I would actually recommend the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. It's slightly more powerful and still has good fuel efficiency. Plus, it's been on the market longer so it has a proven track record.

I've had great luck with the 1.6-liter turbocharged engine. It's a newer addition to the lineup, but it offers a good balance of power and efficiency. Plus, it's fun to drive!
