Part Description
This Grade A engine assembly was removed from a 2011 Kia Sportage and features the 2.4L engine configuration (VIN 2, 8th digit) with California emissions compliance. With 139,000 miles on the odometer, this motor has been thoroughly inspected by our certified technicians and is currently on the shelf ready for immediate shipment. The engine comes complete as an assembly unit from our donor vehicle.
Engine assemblies are typically replaced due to catastrophic internal failure, severe overheating damage, or collision damage that affects the motor mounts or block integrity. The 2.4L engine in the 2011 Kia Sportage is known for reliable performance, but high mileage wear, timing chain issues, or lack of proper maintenance can lead to the need for replacement. A quality used OEM engine assembly like this one provides an economical alternative to expensive rebuilds or new engine purchases.
