Yes, the 2011 Kia Sportage features an interference engine. In an interference engine, the pistons and valves occupy the same space at different times; if the timing belt or chain fails, it can cause the pistons to collide with the valves, leading to significant engine damage. Therefore, it's crucial to maintain the timing components to prevent potential failures.
