Are there reports of excessive engine noise in the Kia Sportage?

Some owners complain about engine noise at higher RPMs, particularly in local variants with poor cabin insulation.

Yes. Several Pakistani users, especially those driving locally assembled variants, have reported that engine noise becomes noticeable at higher RPMs above 3,000. This is partly due to limited soundproofing and cabin insulation, making it more noticeable in city traffic o r aggressive driving.
