Why is my Kia Sportage's acceleration slowing down?

I've noticed that my Kia Sportage's acceleration has been slowing down over time. It used to have a quick and smooth pickup, but now it feels like it's struggling to get up to speed. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

There could be a few different reasons for your Kia Sportage's slowing acceleration. One common cause is a dirty or clogged air filter. Try replacing it to see if that makes a difference.

Another possible cause could be a faulty fuel pump. If it's not delivering enough fuel to the engine, it can cause a slow or weak acceleration. Consider getting it checked and replaced if necessary.

Sometimes, a build-up of carbon deposits in the engine can also affect acceleration. You may benefit from getting a fuel system cleaning to remove any buildup and improve engine performance.
