Three years after its last redesign, the Kia Sportage gets a toned-down look for 2026.

The 2026 Sportage presents a new face to the world, one that's less weird than before. (Marketing folks might call it "less polarizing.")

At the rear, we find revised taillights and a smoother rear bumper.

Under-the-skin changes are few, but Kia manages to wring a few additional ponies out of its hybrid powertrains, for new totals of 232 horsepower for the regular hybrid and 268 horses for the plug-in version.

Pricing for the 2026 Sportage hybrid starts at $31,735, rising to $41,835 for the top-trim SX-Prestige.
