I’m thinking about buying a new or used Kia Sportage. It has a great price and features, but the only thing I’m not sure about is the engine. How many cylinders do engines in a Kia Sportage have?

Every iteration of the Kia Sportage over the years has had four cylinders in the engine.
Modern versions of the Sportage offer three different four-cylinder engines—one for the gas-powered version, one for the Sportage hybrid, and one for the Kia Sportage plug-in hybrid. Here’s a quick look at each:
2.5-liter four-cylinder with 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque
Hybrid 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that pairs with a single electric motor for 227 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque
Plug-in hybrid 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a larger electric motor for 261 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque
