What is the towing capacity for a 2021 Kia Sportage?

Answered by David Morley · 22 Jan 2024

The 2021 Sportage range covers a variety of towing capacities depending on what engine and transmission are fitted and whether the example in question features all-wheel-drive or front-wheel-drive.

So, in no particular order, the Sportage with front-wheel-drive can tow up to 1600kg with a braked trailer, the AWD petrol can tow 1500kg, the AWD diesel has a towing maximum of 1900kg and the facelifted 1.6-litre petrol with the dual-clutch transmission can cope with 1650kg (all with the same braked trailer).

With a trailer with no brakes, the maximum towing capacity for any 2021 Kia Sportage is 750kg.
