What is the 2024 Kia Sportage Towing Capacity?

So, how much can the new Sportage tow? When equipped with trailer brakes, every Sportage model in the 2024 lineup can tow up to 2,500 pounds. Without trailer brakes, the Kia Sportage towing capacity drops a bit to a maximum of 1,653 pounds.

Can a 2024 Kia Sportage Tow a Boat?

A 2,500-pound towing capacity is beyond impressive for a subcompact SUV like the Sportage. But can a Kia Sportage tow a boat? Yes, it can tow smaller boats like canoes, kayaks, or bass boats. For anything heavier, we suggest a larger Kia SUV. 

While you should always confirm the weight of any trailers or vehicles before towing them, these are a few other items you can typically haul with the max Kia Sportage towing capacity:

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

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