Asked by Anne-Marie
Is the 2018 Kia Sportage chain or belt drive?
Answered by CarsGuide
5 Aug 2024It doesn’t matter whether you have the two-litre petrol, 2.4-litre petrol or the two-litre turbo-diesel engine in your Sportage, they all use timing chain technology rather than the toothed rubber timing belt. As such, the timing chain fitted should be good for the life of the engine and should not require periodic replacement as a timing belt does.
