2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid review
Kia Sportage Hybrid: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
8.4/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid sits near the top of its class. Well-organized infotainment; easy to see out of and park. Price climbs fast with options and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $31,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Replaced an older Kia with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.
