What is the towing capacity for a Kia Sportage?

I’m in the market for a family-friendly SUV that can do a little towing when needed. I’m interred in the Kia Sportage so I’m curious, what is its towing capacity?

The Kia Sportage has a towing capacity of 1,653 pounds. The same towing capacity applies to any of the Sportage’s versions, like the LX, EX, and Nightfall Edition, so long as they contain the standard-issued 2.4L 4-cylinder GDI engine.
If the Sportage is equipped with the Trailer Brakes system, its towing capacity increases to 2,000 pounds. Trailer Brakes can be installed as a Kia Sportage upgrade feature.
