Does the Kia Sportage’s height cause wind noise o r stability issues at high speeds on motorways?

SUV height can contribute to increased wind drag, which affects both noise and stability beyond 120 km/h.

Yes, due to its SUV height and boxier design, the Sportage can experience slight wind noise and aerodynamic drag at high speeds above 120 km/h. Although not unstable, users have noted noticeable wind resistance and a mild decrease in highway efficiency during fast motorway drives, especially when crosswinds are present.
