If your recent Blue Springs adventures have been lacking style and comfort, the 2026 Kia Sportage will be an ideal companion! This model is distinguished by its dependable operation, elegant appearance, and convenient features. Schedule a test drive at Cable Dahmer Kia of Lee’s Summit to take a closer look at this outstanding compact SUV.
Performance
Thanks to the standard 2.5L 4-cylinder powertrain beneath its hood, the Sportage is capable of supplying an energetic output of 187 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque. Your I-70 commute won’t be delayed by too many pit stops, since the standard FWD setup offers a fuel economy rating of 25/33/28 MPG city/hwy/combined1. Shifting between gears will be a smooth and effortless task with the Sportage’s standard 8-speed automatic transmission. If you plan to venture off the beaten path, select the available AWD2 system, which provides Mud, Snow, and Sand settings in addition to the standard Normal, Smart, and Sport modes. Challenging terrain will be within your comfort zone when you take advantage of the optional 8.3-inch ground clearance.
Exterior
Whether you choose Nebular Blue, Runway Red, Panthera Metal, or another available paint color, the 2026 Kia Sportage is sure to hold your attention. Your preferred hue can be complemented by optional Gloss Black accents for the front grille, window surrounds, and wheel arch moldings. To illuminate the road ahead, use the standard LED projector headlights or achieve enhanced clarity with the available LED fog lamps. When your excursions to Burrus Old Mill Park require extra equipment, stow it away atop the standard high-utility roof rails3. For a finishing touch, underline the Sportage with standard 17-inch machine-finished alloy wheels or optional 19-inch versions.
Interior
The stunning design of the Sportage continues within the cabin, beginning with the available SynTex upholstery, stainless steel pedals, and LED interior lighting. Long road trips will feel all too brief when you are relaxing in the optional 10-way power-adjustable driver’s chair with lumbar support. Winter weather won’t prevent you from staying comfortable once you furnish this vehicle with available heated front seats4 and a heated steering wheel5. When warm temperatures return, you can open the optional panoramic sunroof to let in a cool breeze. Fold down the rear row and lower the standard dual-level cargo floor to access this model’s generous 74.1 cubic ft. of storage space. If you are ready to upgrade to the Sportage, take the first step by discovering your current vehicle’s trade value on the Cable Dahmer Kia of Lee’s Summit website!
