2024 Kia Sportage Towing Power

Every configuration in the 2024 Sportake lineup boasts the same impressive towing power. When equipped with trailer brakes, you can expect a Kia Sportage towing capacity of up to 2,500 pounds. If you don’t utilize trailer brakes, the Kia Sportage towing power diminishes slightly, to a 1,653-pound maximum. Whether you opt for trailer brakes or not, this is generous towing prowess for a crossover of this size.

Can a Kia Sportage Tow a Boat?

So, can a Kia Sportage tow a boat? It depends on the size of the vessel, of course, but in general, the 2,500-pound Kia Sportage towing power is enough to pull a small boat or any of these items:

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

2024 Kia Sportage Towing Package

While the automaker does not manufacture a specific Kia Sportage Towing Package, you can order the accessories needed to maximize your available towing power in Andover and beyond. These accessories should include:

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