2026 Kia Sportage gets worthy upgrades

With the debut of its fifth generation four years ago, the Kia Sportage surpassed six-figure sales for the first time in its now 33-year history. It’s remained among the top compact crossover sport utility vehicles in a crowded segment of top choices.

Honda, Toyota and Mazda all have top-sellers, and all present strong reasons why the 2026 Kia Sportage is offered with a “midcycle refresh,” according to the manufacturer.

The lineup includes the LX, EX, SX, SX and new X-Line and X-Pro Prestige trims.
