Kia Sportage as a van – second generation with N1 registration: 2.0-litre CRDi diesel with and without VGT turbo, front- and four-wheel drive, 82 to 103 kW
Kia Motors is a South Korean carmaker based in Seoul, majority-linked to Hyundai since 1998. The Sportage is Kia's classic compact SUV, here represented by the second generation with the 2.0-litre CRDi diesel engine. Several versions in this register carry the suffix VAN and were registered as a commercial vehicle with only two seats instead of as a passenger car, which explains the classification under vans. CRDI stands for common-rail direct injection, VGT for the variable-geometry turbocharging that spans the power range of the front- and four-wheel-drive versions, from plain manual to automatic transmission.

The register lists 7 versions in this range with a displacement of 1,975 to 1,991 cm³ from four-cylinders, unladen weights of 1,559 to 1,760 kg, gross weights of 2,120 to 2,260 kg and widths of 1,840 to 1,860 mm; two versions record power of 82.5 to 103 kW and lengths of 4,235 to 4,350 mm.
In its second generation the Sportage ranked among Europe's best-selling compact SUVs and competed with the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V; the van versions listed here, with a reduced seat count, were mainly used by trade and delivery businesses that benefited from lower commercial-vehicle taxation.
When buying a used Sportage diesel, checks include the condition of the injection pump and injectors, the boost behaviour of the VGT turbocharger, the timing chain, on four-wheel-drive versions the clutch driving the rear axle, and rust on the sills and wheel arches; parts run through the Kia dealer network.
