Derivatives
DVLA also registers other body types under the Kia Sportage nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.
By year
All 428,397 surviving Kia Sportage cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 23,961 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 73.8% of the 2014 figure. That is the earliest real count of the same cars: DVLA publishes no production figures, so nothing here is a count of how many were built.
Cars joining a UK register each year, and how many of that year's arrivals are still registered now (the darker part of each bar). For an import this is the year it arrived, not the year it was built.
