Rare card · No. 44516

The Kia Sportage (Korean: 기아 스포티지) is a compact SUV manufactured by the South Korean manufacturer Kia through five generations. At its launch in 1993, the nameplate was used for a vehicle produced under a joint venture with Mazda, and shared its platform with the Mazda Bongo. In 2004, the second-generation Sportage was released as a crossover SUV based on the unibody J platform, moving away from the body-on-frame chassis format. At the time of its release, it was originally developed and sold alongside the Hyundai Tucson and later with the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Kia Sorento, from model year 2022 onwards. The Sportage has been the best-selling Kia model globally since 2016 after surpassing the Rio. In 2018, the model reached the 5 million production milestone. As of 2023, the Sportage is positioned between the Seltos or Niro and the three-row Sorento in Kia's global SUV lineup with the latter sharing platform with the Sportage.
