What’s New on the 2026 Sportage?⌄
A refreshed front end with Kia’s star map lighting and amber daytime running lights, a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen across the lineup, new available cabin colors, and available Terrain Modes (Snow, Mud, Sand) on AWD trims. The X-Pro Prestige also gains standard active AWD and all-terrain tires.
Which 2026 Sportage Trim Is the Best Value?⌄
For most shoppers, the EX — more standard tech and comfort features than the LX for a modest step up in price. Want adventure-ready style with standard AWD? The X-Line adds that without jumping to the flagship SX Prestige.
How Much Can the 2026 Sportage Tow?⌄
Up to 2,000 pounds on base trims and up to 2,500 pounds properly equipped with a factory tow package, where available. The Sportage is built for everyday hauling more than serious towing — for bigger loads, look at the three-row Sorento or Telluride.
