What brand is the Sportage transmission?
2 Answers
The transmission brand of the Sportage is either Powertech or Mobis. The 2.0L naturally aspirated engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the 1.4T turbocharged engine is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Sportage is equipped with the exact same powertrain system as the Hyundai ix35, available in two versions: a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine. The Sportage refers to the Dongfeng Yueda Kia Sportage. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4440mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1635mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640mm.
I've been driving the Sportage for many years, and I remember the transmission is Hyundai's own Powertech automatic. When I bought the car, the salesperson emphasized that Kia and Hyundai are part of the same group, so the transmission is well-matched and optimized, providing smooth shifting without any jerking. For my 2018 model, the power response is quick on the highway, and it doesn't lurch or hesitate in city traffic jams. Don't skimp on maintenance—change the transmission fluid every 50,000 kilometers to keep the fluid clean and extend its lifespan. If you're curious about the specific model, you can check the vehicle manual or visit a dealership to look up the records for details, but there's no need to worry too much about the brand's reliability. If you encounter minor issues, like slower shifting when it gets hot in summer, just adjust your driving habits slightly.
