The 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid compact SUV brilliantly blends style, technology, and high fuel efficiency.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Audio/HVAC control learning curve</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

If higher fuel efficiency isn’t reason enough to choose the Kia Sportage Hybrid over the standard gas model, perhaps more power will move the needle. And for 2026, the Sportage Hybrid improves there, too. The gas-electric hybrid powertrain with its 1.6-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine sees a power bump to 232 horsepower, five more ponies than the prior year. Compare that to the 187 hp in the gas-only model, and you can see how hybrids make so much sense.
In our testing of this powertrain over the years, we’ve found its smoothness just a step behind its Toyota and Honda rivals, but pleasant and eager enough all the same. And one aspect we like about this Kia hybrid SUV not found on those rivals is its use of a transmission with traditional gears — six, in this case — instead of a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that can tend to drone, especially in hybrid applications.
<h3>Fuel economy</h3>
If gas stations are your kryptonite, the base Sportage Hybrid LX is actually the one that will keep you away from them the most. It’s the star of the efficiency show here with an EPA-estimated 42 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The other trims get 35 mpg. The difference is because the LX is front-wheel drive, while the others have all-wheel drive standard.

Upmarket Design

Exterior

The Kia Sportage Hybrid was already arguably the most sophisticated-looking mainstream compact SUV, and even that aspect has been upgraded for 2026. Kia’s “opposites united” design language has tweaked the LED “star map” lighting and the Sportage’s can’t-miss amber daytime running lights. We think the whole thing is one striking and cohesive design. And what’s more, it doesn’t crimp on interior space.
We also appreciate that Kia gives the all-wheel-drive models – that is, all trims except the base LX – more ground clearance: 8.3 inches, vs the 7.1 of the front-drive LX.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Tech and more tech: Where some rivals max out at 9-inch screens as standard, the Kia Sportage Hybrid has a 12.3-inch unit. Combined with the 12.3-inch instrument display, it makes a slick setup.
HUD: New to the 2026 model range, the top-line Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige gains a 10-inch head-up display that displays vital information on the windshield so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road.
Wireless connectivity: All 2026 Sportage Hybrid models have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the EX, X-Line, and SX Prestige trims get a wireless charging pad.
Over-the-air updates: You know how your phone and computer can get better over time? Thanks to OTA updates, the Sportage Hybrid can, too. No visit to the dealer is needed.
Highway Driving Assist 2: While all Sportage Hybrid models have adaptive cruise control, this system in the SX Prestige takes semi-autonomous driving to another level thanks to features like automatic lane changes and advanced lane centering.
Ventilated front seats: Another perk of the SX Prestige, your posterior will thank you on a hot summer’s day. This model also has a heated steering wheel and heated rear outboard seats.

Innovative Interior

Interior

Our editors have long been impressed with the Kia Sportage Hybrid’s interior, and for 2026, it only improves. All models now come standard with Kia’s innovative 12.3-inch dual panoramic displays, and a 10-inch head-up display is now fitted in the top-line SX Prestige trim. This kind of tech used to be the domain of expensive luxury cars.
Even the base model has a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and upholstery ranges from woven cloth to standard or premium SynTex, a synthetic leather.
One aspect we’ve found takes some getting used to is the dual audio/climate controls, which can be toggled to adjust each. Kia promises that switching between the functions is now more natural. We give the Sportage Hybrid kudos for making dual-zone climate control and rear AC vents standard, something human and canine passengers can both appreciate.
One aspect no one can quibble with is space. The Kia Sportage excels here, and that includes the hybrid. Behind the rear seats are 39.5 cubic feet of cargo room, which expands to 73.7 with the seats folded. That first figure is a touch bigger than the CR-V Hybrid’s, and the latter just a few behind. Rear-seat legroom is also impressive at 41.3 inches, a hair more than the Honda’s.

KBB Editors' Overview

A do-it-all compact SUV makes a lot of sense for a lot of buyers. And almost everyone can appreciate excellent fuel economy. Combine these two things, and you get a result better than PB&amp;J. This is our way of saying the 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid is an incredibly sensible, practical, and innovative vehicle. It marries the best traits of the standard gas-powered <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sportage/">Kia Sportage</a> and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sportage-plug-in-hybrid/">Sportage Plug-in Hybrid</a> (both reviewed separately) into a model that’s high on value, ease of use, and features. The Kia Sportage lineup as a whole is quite vast, but we think the Sportage Hybrid, in particular, is the Goldilocks of them all.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hybrid/best-hybrid-suvs/">hybrid SUVs</a>, including the Kia Sportage Hybrid.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

Pricing - Static

We admire the overall value of the Kia Sportage Hybrid, when purchased and the potential fuel savings in the years ahead. Consider that the base Sportage Hybrid starts at $31,685. That’s just $1,600 over the base, gas-only version. According to the EPA, the hybrid version can save you roughly $600 a year in gas, which means in less than three years of ownership, the Sportage Hybrid’s small price premium will pay for itself.
If you can afford a bit more, we suggest stepping up to at least the new S trim, one trim up from the base LX. It includes standard all-wheel drive (AWD), blind-spot monitoring, 10-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, 18-inch wheels, and more, all for just $2,300 extra. The caveat is that this trim and the higher ones have decreased fuel economy since they are all-wheel drive rather than the front-wheel drive (FWD) of the base LX model.
Yet even the second-to-the-top Sportage Hybrid X-Line, at $36,885, is below the starting price of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v-hybrid/">2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid</a> at $37,025. The all-new <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/rav4/2026/">2026 Toyota RAV4</a> will be hybrid only, but pricing for that model is still to be announced. We expect the Kia’s cousin, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson-hybrid/">Hyundai Tucson Hybrid</a>, to remain a bit higher, as does the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-50-hybrid/">Mazda CX-50 Hybrid</a>.
Before buying a new Sportage Hybrid compact SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Resale values are about average for the class. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine & Transmission

Under the Hood

The Sportage Hybrid combines a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors to create an appreciable 232 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque. Power goes through a 6-speed automatic transmission to either the front wheels (LX) or an all-wheel-drive system that’s standard in the higher trims. The 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid can tow up to 2,000 pounds, twice the amount as the 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid.
5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty
Kia offers unbeatable warranties. New-car coverage is five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first (a typical warranty here is three years or 36,000 miles). The powertrain warranty lasts 10 years or 100,000 miles, much better than most competitors. The hybrid battery is also covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles.
Safety Ratings
This generation of Sportage (regardless of drivetrain) has been made a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">IIHS</a>), the institute’s second-highest accolade. It has also earned the top 5-Star crash rating by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Standard safety features include forward collision warning with pedestrian/cyclist detection and junction turning detection, lane-keeping assistance, driver attention monitor, adaptive cruise control, and more.

The 2026 Tesla Model S gains a few revisions this year, and maximum range increases to 410 miles. Despite its age, the Model S remains a serious contender.

<ul>
<li>Apple CarPlay/Android Auto not supported</li>
<li>Issues with ownership</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride and Handling

The entry-level 2026 Model S has two electric motors generating a hefty 670 hp, and all four wheels receive drive. Electric motors create instant torque, like flipping a switch (who would have thought?). So the Model S can leap off the line as if struck by lightning &#8212; which it is, in a way. The regular Model S is fast and fun, zipping from a standstill to 60 mph in only 3.1 seconds. That’s 0.3 of a second quicker than the 620-hp Lucid Air Touring.
The Plaid (with three motors) is even more extraordinary, developing a mighty 1,020 hp to hit 60 mph in a claimed 1.99 seconds. Back when the Model S was ground-breaking, a gasoline engine with more than 1,000 hp and a zero-to-60-mph time below three seconds would have been the preserve of something like a Bugatti Veyron, costing many times more than the Model S Plaid does now. Then there were the gasoline bills.
That doesn’t exactly make the Model S Plaid a bargain, but it certainly puts automotive power into the hands of more people. The rest of the car is able to keep up. The Model S is controlled and comfortable, with a standard adaptive suspension contributing to easy-going daily driving duties and lively dynamics whenever the driver demands them. We’d describe the Porsche Taycan as sportier, and the Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan as smoother, with the Tesla Model S in between. Smoothness is enhanced this year, however, thanks to suspension improvements.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The maximum range of the most affordable new Model S, the All-Wheel Drive version, is an impressive 410 miles (on 19-inch wheels), up from last year’s 402. A comparable Lucid Air Touring is capable of 406 miles. The high-powered Model S Plaid can still manage a respectable 368 miles, an increase of 20 miles.
At a <a href="http://Tesla Supercharger">Tesla Supercharger</a> or other DC fast-charging station with a 250-kilowatt supply, the Model S can replenish up to 80% of its capacity in as little as 30 minutes. Most rivals also have DC fast charging capabilities with similar times. Remember that the Model S has an above-average range, so its 80% represents more miles than most of the competition. The well-established Tesla Supercharger network also goes a long way in easing range anxiety.

Distinct Exterior

The Model S established Tesla’s design language back in 2012. Its sharp lighting signature and aerodynamic body remain distinct today. The exterior styling is revised for 2026, with minor tweaks and new wheel designs improving aero efficiency, resulting in a new maximum range of 410 miles. The nose also gains a forward-facing camera. Body changes to the high-performance Model S are said to improve stability at faster speeds. The latest paint choice is Frost Blue Metallic, costing $2,500.
We’d be remiss, however, if we didn’t also mention the notorious build quality issues plaguing Tesla models over the years. Owners have reported uneven panel gaps, paint flaws, and loose weather strips while the cars are still relatively new. At the very least, buyers should inspect any Tesla thoroughly before signing for delivery.

Impressive range 
For most of its existence, the Model S has been the benchmark for how many miles it can travel before needing to recharge, otherwise known as range. Many rivals are still falling short, while the Model S is one of the few that can break the 400-mile mark.
Partial self-driving tech 
The standard Autopilot system bundles common features like automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control. Enhanced Autopilot adds Navigate on Autopilot, automatic lane changing, automated parking, and Smart Summon. Full Self-Driving Capability (which requires an alert driver, despite the name) adds Autosteer on city streets, plus automatic stop/go at traffic lights and stop signs.
Tesla Superchargers 
The company owns a national network of fast-charging stations, so road trips are a distinct possibility. Tesla vehicles can also be replenished by other chargers, using an adaptor.
Large screen 
The centerpiece of the Model S interior is the 17-inch touchscreen. It controls almost every function of the car and can even do streaming and gaming, so the time will fly by while charging.
Over-the-air updates 
Improvements in range and power, plus things like map updates, are all possible after the Model S has been purchased.
Sentry Mode 
An active camera system can send alerts to an owner’s smartphone if their parked Model S senses someone loitering too close, for example.

Sparse Interior

The dashboard of the Model S is more of a glorified infotainment touchscreen mounting bracket than any source of design flair. But at least the driver has a dedicated instrument cluster. The touchscreen itself is large (17 inches on the diagonal), with crisp graphics and fast responses — it’s a video gamer’s delight for when there’s some time to kill while recharging. Tesla allows Netflix and Hulu streaming as well.
A yoke-style steering wheel is standard, which is frankly a bit awkward (although it got the thumbs-up in a couple of our owner reviews). We recommend ordering the conventional round alternative at no extra cost.
At this price level, we feel the cabin of the Model S should be plusher than it is, with a higher level of fit and finish. After all, it’s competing with Mercedes-Benz and Audi, masters of luxury. The good news this year is that Tesla has added extra sound insulation and improved the car’s Active Noise Cancellation.
Occupant space is mostly fine, although 35.5 inches of rear legroom is not much more than the compact Model 3. The Model S is quite wide, though, so there’s plenty of leeway for hips and shoulders.
The body’s hatchback design provides plenty of luggage space: 25 cubic feet behind the rear seats, expanding to 61.4 cubic feet when folded flat. We also appreciate the wide aperture that helps to make easy work of loading and unloading. Beneath the hood is another 3.1 cubic feet of storage space.

The fact that the Model S launched in 2012 and it’s still worth considering today is some kind of testament to how ahead of the curve this electric car has been. Most of our owner reviews have only good things to say, despite some well-known issues with build quality and servicing. These positive aspects include range, speed, hatchback practicality, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/tesla/">Tesla</a> Supercharger network.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-luxury-electric-cars/">luxury electric cars</a>, including the Tesla Model S.

The 2026 Tesla Model S has a starting sticker price of $86,630, with the range-topping Model S Plaid kicking off at $101,630.

&nbsp;

Unless the intention is to go really, really fast, we recommend the more affordable and popular entry-level version with all-wheel drive (AWD). It’s still speedy enough for most people and has the best range.
The Touring version is the first in the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lucid/air/">Lucid Air</a> sedan lineup to have all-wheel drive, almost matching its Model S counterpart in range (406 miles) while undercutting its price. The breathtakingly quick Lucid Air Sapphire competes performance-wise with the Plaid, but costs more than twice as much. We also suggest looking at offerings from more established marques, like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a6-sportback-e-tron/">Audi A6 Sportback e-tron</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/i5/">BMW i5</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-eq-eqe/">Mercedes-Benz EQE</a> sedan — all beginning slightly below the Model S. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/electrified-g80/">Genesis Electrified G80</a> is in that same bracket.
Before buying a new Model S electric car, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Also, keep a watchful eye on resale values, as they may not be as strong as they once were. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Battery and Efficiency

Tesla informs owners that the best way to preserve battery life is to keep the car plugged in when not in use. Even if the owner doesn’t plan to drive it for a while (such as when away on vacation). That’s because it will periodically perform systems checks.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Tesla’s basic new-car warranty lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is a common arrangement among luxury cars. The batteries and drive units have warranties of eight years or 120,000 miles.
Based on what we read and hear from owners, experiences with the reliability and maintenance costs of Tesla models have been mixed. Some have reported long wait times at service centers and poor parts availability. If you live in an area with many Tesla EVs on the road but only a few service centers, there could be some frustrations when your Model S needs attention.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The Tesla Model S hasn’t been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>) since 2016, but it received a maximum 5-Star overall rating back then. More recent testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) earned the top score of Good in every crashworthiness category except the new small overlap front impact scenario, where the Model S received an Acceptable rating.

Mild styling revisions make the 2026 Model S sleeker than before, while adding a new forward-facing camera in the nose. Maximum range increases by eight miles to 410, so this is the Tesla with the longest range yet. The Plaid is now rated at 368 miles. The suspension has been improved for ride quality, the cabin is quieter, and Frost Blue Metallic joins the palette of paint choices. The Plaid version’s top speed drops from 200 mph to 149 mph.
