The Sportage EX is built on a platform designed for real-world driving. Its fuel efficiency delivers 25 city miles per gallon and 33 highway miles per gallon, helping you plan fewer stops at the pump. The four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission provides smooth power delivery for both city commutes and highway travel.
Comfort features are thoughtfully integrated throughout the cabin. Heated front seats warm you on cold mornings, while the front dual zone climate control lets driver and passenger set their preferred temperatures independently. The power-adjustable driver seat helps you find the right driving position, and the leather-wrapped steering wheel feels substantial in your hands. Interior amenities include illuminated entry, overhead console storage, trip computer, and outside temperature display to keep you informed.
Safety technology is prioritized in this model. The comprehensive airbag system includes dual front impact bags, dual front side impact bags, and overhead bags. Electronic stability control works with traction control to maintain grip during challenging conditions. Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS provide reliable stopping power. Speed-sensing steering adapts to your driving pace, and the low tire pressure warning system alerts you to potential issues before they become problems.
Exterior design balances form and function. The power liftgate simplifies cargo loading, while the body-color bumpers and spoiler contribute to a cohesive appearance. Heated door mirrors clear frost and condensation, and turn signal indicators integrated into the mirrors improve visibility. Mud guards protect your investment, and the 18-inch machined alloy wheels contribute both style and durability.
Practical touches make daily ownership easier. The power windows, remote keyless entry, and telescoping tilt steering wheel adjust to fit your needs. Rain-sensing wipers automatically engage during precipitation, while the rear window wiper keeps your back glass clear. Cargo and floor mats protect interior surfaces, and the split-folding rear seat adapts to your cargo needs.
We invite you to experience this Sportage EX in person. We're confident you'll appreciate the attention to detail and straightforward capability this model delivers. Price includes: $750 - Kia Customer Cash. Exp. 08/03/2026

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.
