I somehow think she's around Scar's age, maybe even silently younger. Definitely much older than Simba, though. If she were older than Scar, it would be hard to imagine literally the whole generation being skipped, so that Kovu and Kiara are the same age.
On the other hand, Kovu IS her youngest cub out of 3, and Nuka appears to be almost full-grown in the movie. That automatically adds to his mother's age, considering that she had to be grown when she got him, logically. And Kiara is the only cub of Simba and Nala (I don't really believe in Kopa, sorry), whom they probably 'got' very early.
So, as I said, probably a few months younger than Scar? She looks quite a lot like him in this movie, maybe slightly more "drained", but that might also be due to her living conditions, and not the age.
Very interesting topic for discussion.
