What Is the 2024 Kia Sportage Towing Capacity?

Every Kia Sportage model in the 2024 lineup can tow up to 2,500 pounds when equipped with trailer brakes. Without trailer brakes, the Kia Sportage towing number drops by 850 pounds to a maximum of 1,653 pounds.

Can a Kia Sportage Tow a Boat?

When the Kia Sportage towing capability tops out at 2,500 pounds, yes, it can tow some decent items to your next weekend adventure as a subcompact SUV. But, can a Kia Sportage tow a boat? Yes, it can tow smaller boats like canoes, kayaks, or bass fishing boats. For anything heavier than the Kia Sportage towing capability can handle, we suggest a larger SUV on our lot, such as the Telluride or Sorento, for Ridgeland drives.

Always confirm the weight of any trailers or vehicles before towing them behind you. However, in general, these items could be handled with the 2024 Kia Sportage towing capacity:

• ATV
• Jet ski
• Jon boat
• Motorcycle
• Some teardrop trailers
• Some A-frame trailers

Is There a Kia Sportage Towing Package?

Kia does not make a specific Kia Sportage Towing Package. However, we greatly recommend trailer brakes to take full advantage of the top towing capability. These three items can make their own Kia Sportage towing package for your SUV as features you’ll want to have: 

• Tow hitch with harness
• Towbar wiring kit, 13-pole and 7-pole socket
• Retractable and fixed tow bars
