Common Questions
Is every Kia Sportage built in the USA?
No, final assembly varies by specific trim configuration or manufacturing factory. Some units are assembled in the U.S. (at WEST POINT, GEORGIA), while others are imported from foreign countries. You must verify the final assembly country on your specific safety certification door label.
What are the taxpayer rules to claim the deduction?
Even if the vehicle is eligible, the taxpayer must meet rules including: brand new purchase (no leases), first-lien secured loan originated after Dec 31, 2024, and MAGI income limits of $100k-$150k (single, HoH, MFS) or $200k-$250k (married filing jointly).
Varies by Trim/Unit
Assembly for this model year is split between domestic and import facilities. Only U.S. assembled units are eligible. You must verify final assembly on your specific safety certification door label (must state "Assembled in USA") or run its full VIN check.
Disclaimer: Plant assembly can vary by individual unit configuration and manufacture year. Always confirm the final assembly location of your specific vehicle via the VIN plate or dealer documentation before submitting tax claims.
