What is the fuel consumption of the Kia Sportage?
2 Answers
1.4t models have a fuel consumption of approximately 10 liters per 100 kilometers, while 2.0L models consume about 8.9 liters per 100 kilometers. The Sportage is a compact SUV under the Kia brand, equipped with two engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. Below are some details about the Sportage: 1. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, codenamed G4LD, has a maximum power output of 103kw, a maximum torque of 242 Nm, reaches its maximum power at 6000 rpm, and achieves peak torque at 3200 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 118kw, a maximum torque of 193 Nm, reaches its maximum power at 6500 rpm, and achieves peak torque at 4800 rpm. This engine employs multi-point fuel injection technology and also uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is matched with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The front suspension of this vehicle uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension utilizes a multi-link independent suspension.
I often drive the Kia Sportage, and fuel consumption really depends on the specific situation. The 2.0L gasoline version of the Sportage has a combined fuel consumption of about 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic with congestion, it can spike to 11 liters, while highway cruising drops it to around 6.5 liters. I've driven the hybrid version, which is even more economical, averaging 5-6 liters combined. Many factors affect fuel consumption, such as engine efficiency, vehicle weight, drivetrain (4WD consumes more fuel than FWD), and my driving habits—sudden acceleration and hard braking are the most fuel-intensive. Overall, the Sportage's fuel consumption is moderate, not too high, but the numbers can climb if carrying more passengers or with poor maintenance. I recommend combining official data with real-world road tests; long-distance driving is more economical.
