Kia spare parts in the UAE

Kia supply runs from 21 in Abu Dhabi through 7 in Dubai down to 3 in Umm Al Quwain — a gap of 18 listings across 7 emirates.

Column three is the salvage route: 1 of the 54 are used-parts yards — Dubai 1. A used Sportage panel is cheap; a used Kia gearbox needs a written warranty.

Some Kia parts are not Kia parts. The Sportage / Cerato / Optima / Sorento shares platform mechanicals, body panels, lamps, brake and AC parts with the Hyundai Tucson / Elantra / Sonata / Santa Fe.

Ask for the Kia number and the Hyundai number together — the same box, two prices.

A Sportage is three cars wearing one name. There is the SL from 2009, the QL and QLE from 2015 and the NQ5 from 2021, and a lamp, a panel or a wing mirror crosses none of those three boundaries no matter how similar the cars look parked together.

Inside the QL there are four engines: the G4FD 1.6, the G4FJ 1.6 turbo, the G4KH 2.0 turbo and the G4KJ 2.4. One tailgate badge, four different filter and plug sets, and the turbo cars take neither the filter nor the plugs the naturally aspirated ones do.

Optima and Picanto are the hole in this table. Both are on the shelves here and neither carries an engine layer we can source, so rather than guess at one we have left both out — for those two the code has to be read off the car itself.

The generation is the price. An SL headlamp, a QL headlamp and an NQ5 headlamp are three part numbers at three prices, and a counter working from the year alone will reach for whichever is nearest to hand.

So ask for a Kia part number before you ask for money. Read the code off the chassis plate, get the number that matches it, then price that one number new, OEM and used. Three quotes against one number is a comparison; three quotes against the word Sportage is a lottery.

We publish no Kia figure on this page. There is no dated, attributed UAE price for these parts that we can stand behind, and a plausible number nobody can trace is the one mistake this site cannot take back.
