New 2026 Kia Sportage

23/26 City/Highway MPG. The Hybrid part is good; The Kia part is terrible. Great advanced technology creates a safe reliable ride. This SX model has more safety features than my 2020 E class Benz at half the price. The handling on city roads is tight and comfortable. On the Highway it performs very well, with responding to pass other vehicles and maintains a steady cruise speed without searching gears constantly like other SUV’s I have owned. First time buying a Kia, and I’m impressed! I bought the 2022 Kia Sportage SX Turbo package, and I’m really liking it right now. I’ve bought more cars than you can shake a stick at, and at least half the time I’ll be feeling that buyer’s remorse or totally disinterested after the new wears off. I can honestly say, it’s not like that with this vehicle. I wasn’t a fan of Kia, and I went on a whim. I checked out a car first that was nice but i like to feel like I’m sitting down inside of a vehicle and the car just felt too high seated. Seen the Sportage and I was feeling it. It was around $10,000 more, but I decided I wanted to test drive it. With all the bells and whistles that come with this particular package, I was sold fairly easily. My 11 year old daughter likes it also. I came from a Jeep Wrangler with a 15 gln tank, so the gas mileage was great compared to what I’m accustomed. It’ll get up and go when you need it to. I looked down and had to pump the breaks because I was coming up on 100mph. It comes with 3 drive settings. Eco is what I keep it in, and I’m currently getting around 26/28 miles a gallon. Other two are Smart and Sport.
