Uncover What’s New in the 2026 Kia Sportage
Under the hood, the 2026 K5 offers two powertrain options. The standard 1.6L turbocharged inline-four engine delivers a spirited 180 horsepower, while the available 2.5L turbocharged engine boosts performance with 290 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic or eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), the K5 delivers quick shifts and confident acceleration. Front-wheel drive comes standard, but certain trims offer all-wheel drive for added control in various driving conditions.
Performance-focused upgrades like a sport-tuned suspension and larger brakes in the GT trim enhance responsiveness and handling. This makes the K5 not only efficient but also fun to drive, especially on winding roads or during spirited commutes.
Fuel efficiency remains strong despite its athletic personality. The base engine is estimated to return up to 31 mpg combined, while the more powerful 2.5L turbo maintains competitive fuel economy within its class. Combined with advanced safety and driver-assistance technologies, the 2026 Kia K5 ensures peace of mind with every journey.
Technology plays a key role in the vehicle’s performance appeal. Features like Drive Mode Select allow drivers to tailor throttle response and steering feel based on their preferences or road conditions, offering a customizable experience behind the wheel.
