5 Most Reliable Cars of 2021

4. Kia Sportage, Owned by Kia Corporation (KSE: 000270.KS)

Predicted Reliability Score: 87/100

The 2021 Kia Sportage is among the top 10 of the 20 most reliable cars of 2021 for several reasons, a roomy cabin, safety features that include a driver attention monitor and automatic emergency braking, and an optional 240-HP turbo-four 2.0-liter engine are just a few to name. However, Kia Corporation (KSE: 000270.KS) did not do a good enough job to make 2021 Sportage fuel-efficient. The base 2.0-liter turbo claims to offer a mileage of 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.

These numbers improve if you opt for the 2.4-liter, which delivers more power and with that, the better fuel efficiency of 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. J.D. Power gave the 2021 Sportage a predicted reliability score of 87 out of 100. The 2021 Sportage has one of the longest warranties in the compact SUV class. Kia Corporation (KSE: 000270.KS) covers the Sportage with a five-year or 60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
