Does a broken Timing belt on a Kia Sportage automatically mean that the engine needs major repairs?

well depends when it broke,where you trying to crank it or where you running 70 mph when it broke.if it broke trying to crank,probably ok. if it happened at 70 mph. probably major damage. That is why they state change belt every 60,000 miles.
not necessarily... if it has a 2.0 DOHC engine.. its non interference.. and it wont damage anything.. mine broke at 55 MPH.. and no problem.. just tow home and replace belt time appropriately and u should be fine..
