How long (many miles) does the engine & transmission last in a Kia Sportage.

Very hard to say. It will depend on how well it was maintained and how it was driven. All I can is is if you are looking at buying a used one, buy a low mile car.

I have a 2007 Kia Sportage EX it currently has 188640 miles and runs like a top.. All maintenance done, always.

we had a 2009 kia sportage with 114,000 miles on it and it was still running like brand new keep it well maintained and its a reliable car

I just hit 100,000 miles, glad to hear all the good reviews.

My 2005 Sportage only has 114,000 km on it. Engine runs great.

My 2008 Kia Sportage has 215k and still running strong

My kia has 240000 miles and still going strong never had a problem with it other than my front strut other than that no problem best car I've ever had mine is a 2006 Kia Sportage LS V6 like I said best car ever looking into getting the new Kia Sportage 2017

I have 2017 kia sportage....id buy one in every color i love it so much!!!

I can potentially purchase a 2005 Kia Sportage that was owned by a grandmother and only has 70k miles- is that a good car to invest 3k in?

I would think so! Especially for 3000

I have a 2007 Kia Sportage my husband is a uber and lyft driver and its our only car for now.. runs great only minor fixings 176999 miles.. advice to keep the oil changes up :-)

Had a 2004 Kia Sorento LX 4×4 from 2005 to 2012. I put 283,000+ miles on it. Absolutely no issues but minor stuff.. like ball joints, wheel bearing, 1 tune up. I totalled it out in a rollover. I miss my truck. Have had 2013 Kia Optima EX since the end of 2012.....i have only put a starter and struts, and tires.. no issues.

I have a 2015 Kia sportage with 77,000 miles on it...I travel 100 miles + a day back and forth to work and was beginning to get worried that I should think about selling it, but would like to say it has never had any issues...I can see from these posts I'm in good shape, I've been maintaining my Kia at the Kia dealership at all the recommended mileage services times...I think I'll keep my Kia or trade it in for a new Kia instead of getting a different make. thanks.

I have a 2007 4x4 kia sportage AUTO V6 HOW MUCH CAN I GET FOR IT.

I have a 2008 Sportage LX (V6) with 138,000. Have had numerous issues with the a/c which is exacerbated by the fact that we live in Fl and need the a/c! I'd like to get 200,000 miles out of it because I believe a well-made vehicle should provide that. We've been meticulous with the maintenance but have truly not had good luck. We'll see about the 200,000.

I have a2011 Kia Forte with 423,389 miles and still going strong. The only thing in the engine that has been replaced is the alternator at 385,000 miles

My 2011 Kia Sorento is currently at 208,000 with no major problems

My 05 Kia Sorrento has 168,000 miles and still running strong

We have a 2009 Kia Rondo with 255000 miles on it. Only minor issues

I have a 2007 Kia Sportage and no problems! I am getting an oil change next week, but it has 215,232 miles on it and running great!

I JUST BOUGHT A KIA SENSORRENT 2015 GOT 29000 MILES ON IT I PRAY I GET ALOT OF MILES ON MINE I DROVE IT I LOVE THE FEEL THE LOOK IT'S BEAUTIFUL I JUST HOPE I GET GOOD GAS MILES AND 30000 THOUSAND MILES ON IT LOVE IT

2013 Optima 181k miles. Had to replace the fuel pump a while back, but that's it.

Mine has 300,000 miles, running strong

Wow I just brought a Kia Sportage 2015 with 32k miles, I really love it. I drive for Lyft and was really concerned about putting hi miles on it but seeing all these posts with Kia owners praises makes me feel great! Thank you all and good luck w ur Kia's !!

I have a 2012 Kia Sportage , just threw a rod at 130,000 miles . It was well maintained but I learned the 2011-2013 Kia's had problems with engine machining , that caused problems with irregular engine ware. Though it has been a good car my next one will be a Subaru Forester .

I have a 2002 Kia Sportage with over 270,000 original miles. Replaced timing chain and only a couple of tune ups ,replaced radiator and a valve cover replacement.

I bought a 2006 Sportage new and now have. 238 thousand miles on it. When it had a hundred thousand I was so impressed I went and sold Kias for a while. I then learned of all of the great stories of super high miles and people that have passed their car down through the family. Best to use synthetic oil and change it regular maybe five to seven thousand miles at the most. Looking to replace this Kia with another one perhaps a Sorento.

I have a 2010 Kia forte 196.000 miles runs like new no problems no minor repairs just keep oil changed put four new tires on runs great I love it

Bought my Sportage new in 2009 and is still in excellent shape, running great with over 217,000 miles on the original motor :)

I have 2010 kia forte with 231,000 miles, mostly highway miles. Bought the car when it had 70,000 miles on it. In four years I added the current mileage and only changed the oil probably four times. I was hard on it and never really did any maintenance on it. Still, never had a problem with it and it still runs like a champ.

I had purchased a new 2014 Kia Sorento and did all the recommended scheduled maintenance only to still have the engine blow up at 178,000 miles. I was informed by the Kia dealer that the piston arm broke and I would need a new engine. Because Kia doesn't sell engines that are pre-assembled the labor needed to assemble the motor, pull the old and install the new motor, would be about $7,000 which was more than the vehicle value. I now understand now why it's next to impossible to find a Sorento's for sale that is ten years old for sale. In addition they don't hold there value so for me I will not buy another Kia product again. Hopefully my new Toyota will last longer and maintain a better resale value than Kia.

I have a 2009 kia Spectra EX and have over 280,000 miles on it. I have replaced the blower motor and front struts and rear struts but other than that it has been a decent little car. Even in the snow :)

we have a 2018 Kia Sportage purchased in Sept 2017 so it will be 2 years this coming month and it's at 96,000k. we did not ge t the extended warranty and are wondering if we should???? it's expensive... Seeing all the comments about high mileage makes me happy!! I am thinking we should save the $2-$3k price of the insurance and if the car has an issue then we just pay for it... what do you think?

I have a 2009 Kia Sportage lx 265,000 miles on it .Still going strong besides doing just maintenance. Clutch, bearing brakes , regular stuff but motor still runs quite.

2017 Kia Sorento, 104,000 Kms and the engine literally melted down. The dealer refused to pay towing, give a loaner car, and charged me $700 for a new starter. The sales spent most of my time trying to sell me another one. Covered by warranty due to recall for defective engines related to improperly heated treated crankshaft. New engine installed. Kia mass produces junk that appears to be good at point of sale. They don’t stand behind their product. Join the class action lawsuit and avoid Kia products PERIOD

I'm at 190000 now still runs great

I have 158,000 miles on my 2007 Kia Sportage runs fantastic still!! I'm amazed with this car.

I have a 2007 kia sportage with 229,433 miles on it and runs like brand new! No problems. I bought it used in 2012 with 83,000....I absolutely love Kia's! Great vehicle!

My sister's Sportage (2008?) has over 350,000 on it! She has just recently had a problem with one of the catalytic converters, but it has been a very dependable car for her. She would like to get a new Kia, but can't afford one right now so she still makes sure to maintain hers. She can't say enough good things about Kia. So much so, we bought our son a used Soul, which we all love to drive as it is a manual.

So good to see all these positive posts! I have a 2007 KIA Sportage, it has over 200,000 miles on it and it is still a great vehicle with no issues. I love KIA!!

How many miles did you get before the tire blew out,or got a nail?Asking everboody.

My 2005 Kia Sportage LX has 202,679! So impressed by this car. Kias are built to last.

2011 Kia Sportage 184,000 miles. Running great.

I have a 2016 Kia Sportage Diesel GT Line, roughly do around 60,000 Klm p/annum, almost at 230,000 klms now and its been an awesome car, never missed a beat, have it serviced every 15,000 klms. Very happy with the car.

I have a 2015 diesel sportage, only done 45000 miles, serviced at main dealers, just had to have clutch and fly wheel replaced, front pads and discs replaced at 25000 miles and need pads again on front, rear still only 50% worn. Car had 15000 on clock when I brought it, could say disappointed especially seeing 2 months out of warranty.

I have a 2012 Kia Forte. Just went past 200,000 miles. Needs struts now. All original except for AC compressor which I replaced at 175,000 miles.
