★ Top Answer
In 2012, the Kia Sportage was equipped with a standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, but drivers could also opt for a larger 2.4L 4-cylinder engine. Both engine options in the Sportage utilize a timing chain system that is designed to endure for up to 300,000 miles, surpassing the typical lifespan of the vehicle. However, in the event of engine damage, the timing chain may need to be replaced. A complete timing chain kit for this model costs between $200 and $350 in parts alone. Should you decide to have a mechanic or dealership handle the replacement, expect to pay between $800 and $1200 for the service.
