The 2019 Kia Sportage typically uses 26-inch driver-side and 16-inch passenger-side front wiper blades, with an 11-inch rear blade. This pairing covers the majority of trims for that model year.
The sizes matter because incorrect blade lengths can cause poor windshield coverage, streaking, or rubbing against the hood or fender. While most 2019 Sportages share these standard sizes, it’s wise to verify against your manual or a reputable parts retailer to account for any unusual configurations or aftermarket replacements.
Front wiper blades: size and compatibility

- Driver-side front blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side front blade: 16 inches
Conclusion: The typical front-blade configuration for a 2019 Kia Sportage is 26" on the driver's side and 16" on the passenger side. If you encounter a different setup, verify with the owner's manual or a trusted retailer.
Rear wiper blade
The rear window on the 2019 Sportage uses a shorter blade. The standard size is:
- Rear blade: 11 inches
Conclusion: The rear wiper is usually an 11" blade, though some aftermarket options may vary slightly in compatibility. Always confirm the exact size before purchase.
How to confirm the exact sizes for your Sportage
To ensure you buy the right blades for your specific vehicle, use one or more of these verification methods.
On-vehicle verification
Check the blades currently installed and compare with standard sizes (26" driver, 16" passenger front; 11" rear). If you are removing the blades for replacement, measure the blade lengths or consult the packaging for the exact model year compatibility.
