How many reverse lights does the Kia Sportage have?

[Maeve]

Kia Sportage has only one reverse light, so only one is lit. According to national regulations, vehicles with a length of less than 6 meters are required to install one reverse light, with an option to install an additional one. Since the national regulations mandate the installation of one, many automakers, while complying with the regulations, have omitted the second reverse light. More details are as follows: 1. From a functional perspective, one reverse light is sufficient because the main purpose of the reverse light is to signal rather than to illuminate. Another reason is cost-saving, which is also reflected in the vehicle's price. Single reverse lights are mostly found in A-segment cars, as consumers in this segment prioritize cost savings and maintenance expenses. 2. There is also an energy-saving and emission-reduction aspect. Another reason is that reverse lights are white and very bright to illuminate the rear of the vehicle, which can easily overshadow the position lights. If two reverse lights were installed symmetrically, it might confuse drivers behind into thinking the vehicle is approaching head-on, reducing their alertness.
