Product Overview

Kia Sportage 3 (chassis code SL) is a compact crossover in production from 2010 to 2016. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.6 to 2.4 liters.

Compared to the Mk2 Sportage, the Mk3 has a more modern exterior styling. Unfortunately, it remains ugly from some angles.

Owners may find that at speed the vehicle consumes a lot more than the numbers indicate, thanks to a disappointing 0.37 coefficient of drag to show for it.
