2023 Kia Sportage towing capacity at Gene Messer Kia.
The Kia Sportage has a max towing capacity of up to 2,500lbs. Breaking down the large number of models to pick from, the different drive types, and the amenities they offer, the towing capacity is the same for every model. If your Kia Sportage equips the optional trailer brakes it can tow 2,500 pounds but if it isn’t using trailer brakes, the towing capability is just 1,653 pounds. Whatever choice you make with your Kia Sportage will deliver a great amount of towing capacity, adding to its vast repertoire of abilities.
Kia Sportage Engine Horsepower
The Sportage standard horsepower is 187 HP. Each Kia Sportage model creates 187 horsepower from a standard 4-Cylinder 2.5L engine that teams with an 8-speed auto transmission. A majority of the Kia Sportage trim levels are standard using the FWD drivetrain and list AWD as an available drivetrain option. Just the X-Line AWD, Sportage X-Pro Prestige, and Sportage X-Pro use AWD as the standard option.
Vehicle Weight of the 2023 Kia Sportage
The Kia Sportage curb weight is between 3,373-3,834lbs. Being a smaller SUV, the Sportage produces a super light curb weight on the road. Its frame still has a strong center of gravity to give you stability anytime you drive, but the AWD models create a larger range in weight. The AWD-using trims make a weight going from 3,543 to 3,834 pounds and the FWD-equipped models weigh around 3,373-3,664 pounds.
Ground Clearance of the 2023 Kia Sportage
The Kia Sportage has between 7.1-8.3in of ground clearance. Despite having slightly different ground clearances in each trim the Kia Sportage has, the height will be impacted by the drive type. AWD models have the highest clearance measuring 8.3 inches and the FWD models ground clearance measures 7.1 inches. So the process of configuring a special Kia Sportage is very exciting and will do a great job of making you comfortable.

Everyone was courteous, helpful, and friendly. I'm new here in Texas and I'm glad I found a dealership that's as friendly as Pro Kia in California. Although they washed my car at Pro Kia, I got a better wash with the coupon I received for the car wash. Thank you 😊
