Design
One of the first aspects of the 2026 Sportage that will catch your attention is its exterior flair. The front end of this model is bold and sleek, coming standard with LED headlights and amber-colored LED daytime running lights. These not only illuminate the path ahead of you, but also ensure that you don’t go unseen when you head to McCoy Park with your family. When your neighbors notice you, they are sure to take interest in the stunning paint color of your Sportage. The hue can range from Nebular Blue to Wolf Gray, so select one that you love! We can’t forget to mention that this SUV has an available Smart Power Liftgate. This can open and close autonomously and can be set to various heights to make loading and unloading gear easy.
Interior
Now that you’re aware of the exterior design features of the 2026 Kia Sportage, you may be wondering if its interior matches its outer luxury. Of course, the designers of this SUV included many relaxing amenities, such as standard woven cloth seat trim. Upgrade this plush upholstery to available SynTex, which comes in several colors like Terracotta Brown, Misty Gray, and Carmine Red. To provide you with warmth in the winter months, this car has standard heated front-row seats1. Additionally, you can stretch out without difficulty, as you’ll have 41.4 inches of front-row legroom to work with. And because there’s an optional 10-way power driver’s seat with 2-way power lumbar support in the Sportage, you will hardly want to leave the cabin.
Engineering
We cannot conclude our overview before you are informed about the power lurking at the core of the 2026 Sportage. The standard configuration consists of a roaring 2.5L 4-cylinder motor, which can muster up 187 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque at your command. There is also a standard FWD drivetrain that promotes efficiency and handling, contributing to this car’s 25/33/28 MPG city/hwy/combined2 fuel economy rating. Together with the standard 14.3-gallon fuel tank, you won’t be stopping at the gas station frequently. Spring for optional AWD if you are an off-road enthusiast who seeks the path less traveled.
