Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The 2026 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid uses a braking system where front rotors typically handle a greater share of stopping force than rear rotors, which means front rotors often wear faster. The differential load stems from weight transfer to the front of the vehicle during braking and the front axle's larger brake hardware. At Courtesy Kia of Brandon in Brandon, FL, our technicians evaluate both front and rear rotors for thickness, run-out, and surface condition to recommend resurfacing or replacement based on OEM specifications. Front-rotor failure commonly presents as stronger vibration during braking, louder noise, or quicker wear on front pads. Rear issues can show as pulling, uneven pad wear, or reduced effectiveness in low-speed stops. We highlight promotional opportunities and local service specials and loyalty benefits when recommending work. For convenience, you can schedule service online — we provide a clear estimate, OEM parts, factory diagnostic checks, and service financing to get repairs done now and pay over time.
