Properly equipped, the 2021 Kia Sportage towing capacity reaches 2,000 pounds maximum. That’s enough to tow a non-motorized boat or pop-up camper. We know that living in Washington means adventure is always just a short drive away. From fishing to camping, the opportunities to get outdoors here are endless. If you’ve been combing through local SUV inventories in search of a smaller model that can still support your towing and cargo needs, you needn’t look further than the 2020 Kia Sportage. Find out how to reach the maximum Kia Sportage towing capacity and explore the Kia Sportage cargo space with Sunset Kia of Auburn, below!
2021 Kia Sportage Towing Capacity: With or Without Trailer Brakes
The new Kia Sportage towing capacity is dependent on whether Federal Way drivers opt for trailer brakes.
- To reach the maximum 2,000-pound towing capacity, trailer brakes are required.
- Without trailer brakes, Sportage towing maxes out at 1,653 pounds.
To tow safely through Sumner, you will also need to equip your Sportage with a Kia trailer hitch. You can work with the Sunset Kia of Auburn parts department to add the trailer hitch onto your purchase and have it installed before you take ownership!
2021 Kia Sportage Max Payload
Not every Puyallup adventure requires a trailer or camper. When you want to toss your gear in the cargo area and hit the road, it’s important to note that the Kia Sportage max payload is 1,292 pounds. Exceeding this weight could stress your powertrain, so be sure to keep it in mind when loading in your equipment.
