Kia Sportage 1,6 TGDI 7DCT Specs — Fifth Generation
The Kia Sportage 1,6 TGDI 7DCT is a fifth-generation family SUV, and one useful way to understand it is through how the gasoline engine and dual-clutch gearbox respond to a request for more speed.

Robotic
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
Turbo
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
FWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
75.6 x 89 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
1598 cm³
Engine location
Front, transverse
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
7
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
180 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
132 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Holding a steady pace asks the gasoline engine only to overcome rolling and air resistance, so the throttle stays barely open. Requesting acceleration means more fuel and air per cycle, and the robotic gearbox typically selects a lower ratio to raise engine speed.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Front tyres on a front-wheel-drive layout divide their available grip between steering and pulling. Adding throttle mid-corner spends part of that budget on traction, leaving less for cornering, so smoother pedal inputs help the dual-clutch unit deliver power tidily.
Body and Practicality
A five-door SUV body has fixed outer corners, but the driver's view of them is indirect. The rear overhang sits well behind the seat, so when parking it helps to judge clearance from a reference point rather than seat position.
