New Kia Sportage for Sale near Normal, AL
The long-running Kia nameplate gets another update for the 2026 model year.
No model demonstrates Kia’s growth like the Sportage compact crossover SUV. The nameplate has been around since Kia’s early days in the United States, and has evolved into a true rival for popular crossovers like the Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, and Toyota RAV4. The current-generation Sportage was introduced for the 2023 model year; it gets revised styling for 2026.
Verdict: The refreshed Sportage arrives with the competent execution we’ve come to expect from Kia, but the X-Pro Prestige model doesn’t live up to the brand’s reputation for value.

What people say
Great features with lots of safety features. Drives remarkably well. I can now see why it is such a popular vehicle.
Pros: Smooth and quiet ride as long as windows are up. Good price for all the features on the vehicle in the lower trims. Lots of room in back and trunk. Cons: Quality of workmanship does not match Honda and Toyota. Interior has too much hard plastic which don’t align smoothly in some areas. Factory paint job also very poor. Engine loud outside when idling.
Good vehicle and features for the price. Does not have heated steering wheel, air conditioned seats, and 360 view camera, but also a few thousand cheaper so Im happy.
I enjoy the SUVs features. Yes, I felt ot was a good value. Automatic trunk open/close would have been a nice addition. No other comparison.
It’s missing sporty features looks to add on for off roadies. Don’t see any of the heating steering wheel on X-line trim’s. Too much plastic back bumper, it needs to be shorter like Hyundai Tucson looks. Only thing it need a major interior changes is to get rid of shift shafts. It takes away of having less space. It would be better to have one Hyundai has a nice small shifter right by steering wheel and have an extra storage space underneath the old shifter shaft. So that way we can have extra space for storage
