What Owners are Saying About the 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid

"2025 Sportage X-Line Limited"

"Like the styling although that is subjective. Appreciate all the tech and safety features. Interior appears upscale. Gas milage is as advertised. But the options...(wow) Auto sensing wipers, auto dimming headlights, fog lights - everything LED. Heated and cooled from seats (heated only in rear). Adaptive cruise (can be set to standard mode), Lane Keep Assist, fwd collision alert, heated windshield, Harmon Karmon sound, Panoramic roof...and the list goes. Surround view monitor, front and rear parking sensorsPlenty of storage space those for long road trips. (Very comfortable seats.). AWD with a variety of drive modes...and the list goes on. Ride is extremely comfortable. My question is do we need to make a decion based upon the 2 sec delay beween 7.1 to 60, and 9.1 to 60? (I did give it 4 stars based on performance) This is not a sports car. Never have problems either in town or on highway. Easy to keep up with trafic. Above all - Comfort, conveniences, and space. And all under $40,000. Many will not purchase it - but it is well worthy of consideration - a worthy competitor in a growing and crowded field. Kia as come a long way in recent years.."

"Great features and amazing warranty"

"This was my first new vehicle purchase, and well worth the wait and research. Loaded with practical safety features, amazing ride, and Kia warranty speaks for itself!"

"Great SUV in its class!"

"I went from owning Toyotas for years to getting the 2025 KIA Sportage Ex and it’s amazing. It’s spacious, comfortable, sleek design, amazing technology, and drives great! The only this is the acceleration is a little slow, but I am not trying to go 0-60 in 5 seconds either. But it’s expected with a 4 Cylinder, the gas mileage is great too. You also can’t beat KIA’s warranties they offer. I will say KIA has stepped up there game and definitely improved over the years, and they have definitely outdid themselves with this model."
