Puertas & liftgates para Kia Sportage

Kia Sportage Tailgates and Liftgates

The early Kia Sportage, a joint effort with Ford and Mazda, featured tailgates that opened manually. Later model Kia liftgates opened mechanically via a latch by the license plate or hands-free via a keyed transponder. The 2017 Kia Sportage SX tailgate opens automatically as you approach if you activate the smart feature on your steering wheel.

How do you choose a replacement tailgate for your Kia?

Even the earliest Kia SUVs varied in length and design and in where they were manufactured. Your vehicle is a five-door or three-door model, possibly of extended length and manufactured in South Korea, Germany, or Slovakia. A partial list of original equipment manufacturer, used, or aftermarket tailgates includes:

  • The 1997 to 2001 Sportage tailgate contained a rear window with a Dorman rear window wiper. These tailgates are available for base utility vehicles, EX, or limited sports utility vehicles.
  • The 2002 grey tailgate is sold with or without rear window hinges, grip assemblies, and hinge arms with a rear wiper and is easily painted to match your body paint.
  • The 2005 to 2016 tailgate panels are sold with or without hinges, washers, glass, pads, and hinge arms.
  • Kia Sportage tailgates for 2011 to 2015 SUVs were sold with or without the rear window. Boxi also offers tailgate window struts that are heat treated, hardened, painted with epoxy, and polished to never need replacing.
  • The 2011 to 2015 tailgates are sold with or without a rear window, lift supports, or struts, and have an actuator latch.

What do you need if your "hatch open" indicator sticks?

If your "hatch open" light stays on while your tailgate opens and closes perfectly, you need to replace your tailgate latch. You can replace the whole latch or part of the latch to fix your indicator. You also need a new latch if you cannot open your tailgate.

What is needed to repair a Kia Sportage tailgate latch?

Used, refurbished, or aftermarket parts may be appropriate replacements for your tailgate, window latches, rear window lift supports or struts, and even your hinges. However, you probably need an original equipment manufacturer Kia latch for your vehicle. Sportage latches are sold in kits or as separate parts:

  • The 1997 to 2001 Sportage has a tailgate latch, which opens manually with a smooth black latch cover over its hinge on the left side of the tailgate.
  • Latches for the 2002 Sportage tailgate are manual, mechanical, or lift latches depending on the manufacturer or type of Kia.
  • The 2005 to 2010 tailgate has a textured or smooth black base utility latch handle based on its length.
  • The 2011 to 2016 Kia Sportage tailgate has a textured or smooth handle latch depending on the year, length, and type of your vehicle (EX, SX, or LX).
  • The 2011 to 2015 Sportage tailgate actuator latch is sold for naturally aspirated or turbocharged SUVs in a five piece set.
