The 2020–2022 Sportage uses the same key setup, so everything on this page applies to those years too. The full picture is on the Kia Sportage key guide.

2022 Kia Sportage: key facts

Key type: Mechanical (no chip)
Push-to-start: No
Transponder chip: 47 (Hitag 3 / NCF2951) — smart-key trims only
Programming: OBD
All keys lost: We can originate new keys on site

Facelift QL. Base trims: turn-key with NO immobilizer through 2022 (theft class list) — a cut key starts the car. Smart-key trims use the Hitag 3 / ID47 fob (95440-D9500 family; transpondery.com also lists a Texas AES ID75 variant), OBD-programmed — we confirm by fob part number.

Same key system as the 2020–2022 Sportage

Kia kept the Sportage's key system unchanged across 2020–2022, so everything about replacing a 2022 key — blanks, programming, and what happens if every key is lost — matches the rest of that run. The full year-by-year breakdown lives in our Kia Sportage key guide.

What drives the price is the key type, whether you still have a working key, and where the car is parked. There's more on Kia programming in general on our Kia key page.
