    Kia Sportage 2022

    Kia Sportage 2022

    FROM
    $25,630

    The 2022 Kia Sportage range of configurations is currently priced from $25,990.

    Our most recent review of the 2022 Kia Sportage resulted in a score of 6 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Managing Editor - Head of Video Matt Campbell had this to say at the time: To me, the decision to step up to the turbo-diesel GT-Line - an extra $3000 outlay over the turbo-petrol - would be the easy decision I could make.

    You can read the full review here.

    This is what Matt Campbell liked most about this particular version of the Kia Sportage: Great space inside, Nice technology in-cabin, Plenty of design wow-factor

    The 2022 Kia Sportage carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1650 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Kia Sportage 2022 Interior

    All Sportage variants have a leather-appointed steering wheel, and the S and SX have cloth seat trim. The SX+ has artificial leather and the GT-Line has leather-appointed seats with artificial suede. 

    The base S has an 8.0-inch colour touchscreen, and this increases to a 12.3-inch multimedia setup in higher grades. 

    The interior is more spacious than the previous Sportage thanks to a stretched wheelbase. 

    The second row has comfortable seats, lower air vents, two USB-C ports, map pockets, storage nooks, and a slot for a phone or tablet in back of front head rests. 

    Inside, the cool retro-looking air vents sit on either side of the main screen. (image credit: Tim Nicholson)

    Kia Sportage 2022 FAQs

    The engine in my 2022 Kia Sportage rattles

    You’ve paid for a car with a factory warranty, so make the most of it. The first step is to have Kia look at the car, listen to the noise it’s making and come up with a plan from there. Convincing the dealership mechanic that there’s a noise that shouldn’t be there might be difficult, but you could also have the car independently inspected (try your state motoring club) the noise noted in writing, and present that to Kia as a way of proving there’s a problem.

    In our experience, Kia has been pretty good at getting this stuff right and keeping its customers happy. So start with the dealership and if that doesn’t work, you can contact Kia’s Australian customer service department. After that, it’s a job for the ACCC, but it shouldn’t come to that.

    The bottom line, however, is that this car is (or should be) still under factory warranty, so it’s Kia’s problem to sort out; a process that should not cost you anything.

    What are the differences between the 2022 and 2023 Kia Sportage GT-Line?

    Kia introduced the fifth-generation Sportage in 2021, so there won't be any wholesale changes to the car for a while yet. Kia – like most car-makers – is constantly fine-tuning specifications of its vehicles, so there may be a mild facelift of the car due in 2023 or soon thereafter, but it's unlikely to involve much in the way of engineering.

    The biggest news for the Sportage range in 2023 is likely to be the introduction of a hybrid model. Kia isn't saying when that will be, however, and it could even be 2024 before we see it. The other new Sportage variant is likely to be a plug-in hybrid version which has been slated for the North American market, but not confirmed for Australia. Yet.

    Do you know why my Kia Sportage is not suitable to carry a towball bike-rack?

    While the weight of a towball bike rack and a couple of bicycles won’t be the issue, the problem will probably be down to the potential for those bikes and rack to obscure the parking sensors or reversing camera, or even making the rear hatch impossible to open with the rack in place. In cars with reverse autonomous braking, the sensors and cameras that allow that function to exist could also be compromised. And suddenly, the car you think has reverse AEB, suddenly doesn’t.

    Car-makers spend a lot of time and money making that sort of technology work, only to have an aftermarket bike-rack company come along and render it useless. Bull-bars on four-wheel-drives are another great example: Aftermarket protection bars don’t always take into account the operation of the vehicle’s air-bag systems, potentially making the car less safe in a crash.
