2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid

The Sportage Hybrid presents 5 distinctive trims—LX, S, EX, X-Line, and SX-Prestige—each carefully designed to appeal to a range of lifestyles. The LX sets the tone with its clean, modern lines, LED headlights, and 17-inch alloy wheels, offering a refined entry point into the lineup. The S enhances the exterior with gloss-black accents and a sportier front fascia, providing a bolder stance along with available 18-inch wheels. Stepping into the EX, sophistication grows with premium finishes, satin chrome touches, roof rails, and refined detailing that elevate its curb presence. The X-Line stands apart with adventurous character: matte black wheel arch cladding, exclusive roof rails, exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels, and rugged styling cues designed for drivers who embrace both the city and the outdoors. At the top, the SX-Prestige embodies modern luxury with LED cube projector headlights, LED fog lights, a gloss-black grille, black side sill molding, and 19-inch alloy wheels—projecting confidence whether pulling into Fifth Avenue South or venturing north along I-75.

Powering the Sportage Hybrid is a 1.6L Turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor and advanced hybrid battery system. Together, this hybrid powertrain produces 232 hp and 271 lbs.-ft. of torque, channeled through a 6-speed automatic transmission. The result is a dynamic yet seamless delivery of power, with smooth transitions between gas and electric drive. Naples drivers will also appreciate the efficiency: the Sportage Hybrid achieves up to an EPA-estimated 42 MPG (FWD)/35 MPG (AWD) combined, proving that spirited performance and sustainability can coexist gracefully.

From the bustling avenues of downtown Naples to the wide-open stretches of Florida’s Gulf Coast, the Sportage Hybrid adapts with poise. FWD comes standard, while available AWD enhances traction and stability—particularly useful during Florida’s sudden summer rains. Drive Mode Select tailors throttle response and steering feel, allowing drivers to shift between relaxed cruising and sharper engagement at will. The hybrid system’s immediate torque ensures agile acceleration in city traffic, while the refined suspension delivers comfort over uneven pavement. With a maximum towing capacity of up to 2,000 lbs., the Sportage Hybrid easily supports an active Naples lifestyle, whether hauling paddleboards to the beach or towing a small trailer for weekend adventures.

Inside, the Sportage Hybrid presents a cabin that feels both expansive and indulgent. Soft-touch materials and modern design lines establish a premium atmosphere, while generous dimensions provide comfort for up to 5 passengers. The highlight of the cabin is its dual 12.3-inch display setup, uniting the digital instrument cluster with the infotainment system in a sweeping, high-tech presentation. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard, while higher trims add a Harman Kardon® premium audio system, LED interior lighting, and a panoramic sunroof that floods the interior with natural light. Clever cargo versatility, fold-flat rear seating, and ample storage solutions -including 73.7 cu. ft. of total cargo space- ensure the Sportage Hybrid remains practical without sacrificing elegance.

Kia’s Drive Wise safety suite equips the Sportage Hybrid with advanced driver assistance features. Standard technologies include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Driver Attention Warning. Higher trims introduce added confidence with Highway Driving Assist—combining adaptive cruise control with lane centering—and a Surround View Monitor for seamless maneuvering in tight spaces around Naples’ popular districts. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist further enhances driver confidence on multi-lane highways, while reinforced structural engineering and a full array of airbags secure peace of mind for every journey.
