Heated front seats warm passengers during cooler months, while the leather steering wheel and telescoping tilt steering column allow you to find your ideal driving position. The 6-speaker AM/FM HD audio system integrates steering wheel-mounted audio controls for safe access to your favorite stations and content. Climate control, power windows, and remote keyless entry round out the everyday conveniences that make ownership hassle-free.
Storage and flexibility are built into this compact design. The split-folding rear seat allows you to configure the cargo area to suit your needs, whether you're hauling groceries, sports equipment, or larger items. Additional practical touches include the rear window wiper, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, and illuminated entry for visibility when needed.
The 2026 Kia Sportage LX in Black exterior presents a refined appearance supported by 17-inch alloy wheels and body-color bumpers. LED turn signal indicators in the outside mirrors enhance visibility, while fully automatic headlights and delay-off functionality add both convenience and safety to your driving experience.

Second Sportage Hybrid
by Marshall in Las Vegas on 3/8/2026 4:24:00 AM
My 2019 Kia Optima EX, which came with the same 1.6 liter turbo used in the hybrid, was totalled last November when I was stopped for construction traffic. So I had to get a new car. My wife has a 2023 Kia Sportage hybrid SX Prestige which is close to 3 years old. We have had no problems with it and it rides better than some luxury cars we have ridden in so I ended up replacing the 2019 Optima with a 2026 Kia Sportage hybrid SX Prestige with the only option being the homelink self-dimming mirror. The ride is similar to the 2023 Sportage, including how quiet the vehicle is. My 2026 has less than 1,500 miles on it and is averaging 34.7 mpg; the EPA rating is 35! The 2026 come standard with even more standard features than the 2023: automatic folding side-view mirrors, heated rear seats and heads-up display. I am tired of black and/or gray interiors. My Sportage is wolf gray with, what I call, a terracotta interior. My Optima was virtually trouble free in the seven years I owned it and the 2023 Sportage has been trouble free in over two and a half years of ownership. - 5.0

Out of all cars I have owned. The 2026 Sportage is by far a more. Complete car. Great gas mileage, great handling, great acceleration & braking. The "looks" are of a .ore expensive car. Definitely a catch - 5.0
Great little SUV
by Ryan on 1/6/2026 2:54:00 PM
Great small SUV. Hybrid engine gives the car much better get-up than the non-hybrid engines. Great MPGs, drives smooth, quiet cabin, comfortable seats. Great features for the SX trim — can practically drive itself. No problems of any kind since owning this car. Would definitely recommend this vehicle.
