Can a Kia Sportage Tow a Boat?

Here at Carolina Kia of High Point, we are commonly asked, “can a Kia Sportage tow a boat?” The 2023 Kia Sportage towing capacity should be able to accommodate small, non-motorized boats just fine. However, if you have a larger boat, we recommend an SUV like the Kia Telluride or Sorento with a more heavy-duty towing setup. Here is an overview of what you can generally tow with the right Kia Sportage towing package:

• Kayaks
• Canoes
• Jet skis
• Snowmobiles
• Motorcycles
• Small fishing boat

Note: Your Kia Sportage towing capacity can be affected by the number of passengers riding along, how much cargo you’re bringing, and other factors. Exceeding the towing capacity can be hazardous to you and the Kernersville drivers around you and harmful to your drivetrain. For more information, please contact us.
