Where the Kia Sportage transmission is listed
We found priced Kia Sportage transmission listings at 534 salvage yards across 45 states. Texas supplies the most, with 426 listings (17% of the total) from 43 yards. Location matters: yards in Illinois ask a median $320, while California yards ask $800, 150% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Kia Sportage transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Kia Sportage transmission are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 239% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $583.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $351, while 2024 tops the table at $1,750. Parts from 2014–2016 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Kia Sportage sits 21% below the Ram 1500 ($699), 79% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), and 73% below the Ford F150 ($2,060) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used transmission: what to check
- Ask for the donor mileage. Under 80K miles leaves significantly more service life.
- Confirm the torque converter is included with automatics; most yards include it, but verify.
- Match engine and drivetrain exactly. A CVT from a base trim won't fit a manual sport trim.
- Ask if the unit was test-driven or fluid-inspected before the donor was dismantled.
- Plan a fluid and filter change at install. Old fluid in a good unit causes avoidable failures.
