Frequently Asked Questions
What size wiper blades does a Kia Sportage take?
Wiper blade sizes for the Kia Sportage depend on the generation. Driver side blades range from 20 inches (500mm) on the original NB series to 26 inches (650mm) on the QL and NQ5 series, while passenger side blades range from 16 inches (400mm) to 20 inches (500mm). Owners should check the table above for their specific model year.
Does the Kia Sportage have a rear wiper?
Most Kia Sportage generations are fitted with a rear wiper blade as standard. The NQ5 and SL series use a 12 inch (300mm) rear blade, the QL series uses an 11 inch (275mm) rear blade, and the NB series uses a 16 inch (400mm) rear blade. The KM series does not have a rear wiper, fitted with two front wiper blades only.
What wiper connector does the Kia Sportage use?
The Kia Sportage uses a J-Hook style wiper connector across all generations sold in Australia, from the original NB series through to the current NQ5 series. This connector type is compatible with the click-and-go adaptors supplied with Wiper Blades Direct replacement blades.
Why does the Sportage NB series use an unusual wiper size?
The original NB generation Sportage, sold between 1997 and 2003, uses matching 20 inch (500mm) blades on both the driver and passenger side, which is unusual compared to later generations where the passenger side blade is shorter. This reflects the more upright windscreen design used on the first generation model.
How often should I replace Kia Sportage wiper blades?
Most Kia Sportage owners should replace their wiper blades every 12 months, or sooner if streaking, smearing or noise becomes noticeable during use. Given the Sportage is a popular SUV used for both city and regional driving, blades exposed to dust and harsh sun may need replacing more frequently.
