2020 Kia Sportage 2.4L Inline 4-Cylinder Engine

The primary engine available on the 2020 Kia Sportage is a 2.4L inline 4-cylinder engine. This 181-horsepower engine comes paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and is able to generate up to 175 pound-feet of torque. Additionally, this engine comes standard with front-wheel drive. The 2.4L engine can achieve an EPA-estimated city fuel economy rating of 23 mpg and an EPA-estimated highway fuel economy rating of 30 mpg.

The 2.4L inline 4-cylinder engine can be upgraded with the optional Dynamax™ All-Wheel Drive system.

The 2020 Kia Sportage secondary engine is a 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder engine. This engine offers more power, 240 horsepower, and more torque, 260 pound-feet, than the 2.4L engine option.

The 2.0L turbo engine can achieve a city fuel economy rating of 20 mpg and a highway fuel economy rating of 28 mpg.

Like its counterpart, the 2.0L turbo inline 4-cylinder engine can be paired with the Dynamax™ All-Wheel Drive system.
