The 2026 Kia Sportage has broken cover, and will be headed to Kings Kia this summer for Cincinnati drivers to enjoy. With a new exterior design, upgraded tech, and an refined interior, the newest Kia Sportage SUVs are sure to grab attention throughout Dayton and Loveland.
Bold Exterior Updates
The polarizing exterior of the previous Kia Sportage is gone, replaced by a more elegant, yet aggressive design. The black honeycomb grille dominates the fascia, while signature LED parking lights and an array of LED headlights are dotted along either end of that large grille opening. A more muscular body style gives the Sportage a more imposing road presence, while LED tail lights with smokey gray lenses give it a more athletic and modern feel.
Interior and Tech Updates in the 2026 Kia Sportage
Montgomery and Kings Mill drivers will find an elevated interior experience led by key updates to technology and the user interface. The new steering wheel slightly flattens at the top and bottom for a more sporty and confident feel. Plus, a new pair of integrated 12.3-inch displays make up the infotainment and instrument panels offers a seamless look with more customization. Finally, features like remote parking assist, the latest version of Kia Highway Driving Assist, and a head-up display are key tech upgrades that subtly improve the driving and ownership experiences of this compact SUV.
