2024 Kia Sportage Consumer Reviews

I have a 2026 KIA Sportage X Line where the transmission has a hesitation and hard shift. I have had this car at the dealers 4 times now and the car has a little over 11,000 miles. I have been told this transmission has a dual clutch and once was told it has the CVT. So far no answers or suggestions. The dealer says the next step will be to keep the car a few days to see if they can experience the hesitation and or hard shifting. The car does this in regular mode and sport mode.

First off I'm a 72 year old male and have owned and driven just about everything. I wanted to review this Kia Hybrid for several reasons My friends can't believe I went for a hybrid but just look at the difference. The horsepower and torque are much more over a standard engine plus I can get 40 MPG here in the mountains of WV. Never have I saw this much savings with so much power. Don't believe me just try one and you will see. It's a spaceship on wheels. I have the EX version there are more models available in the more expensive range if you want them, like 🌙 roofs ground thumper sound systems,off road packages, heated and cooled seats, yada yada yada I don't need all that. This car is sporty, comfortable,eye pleasing, technology infused and safe easy driving vehicle I have ever had outside of my 1970 AMX. KIA will surpass Toyota soon I know this

My 2019 Kia Optima EX, which came with the same 1.6 liter turbo used in the hybrid, was totalled last November when I was stopped for construction traffic. So I had to get a new car. My wife has a 2023 Kia Sportage hybrid SX Prestige which is close to 3 years old. We have had no problems with it and it rides better than some luxury cars we have ridden in so I ended up replacing the 2019 Optima with a 2026 Kia Sportage hybrid SX Prestige with the only option being the homelink self-dimming mirror. The ride is similar to the 2023 Sportage, including how quiet the vehicle is. My 2026 has less than 1,500 miles on it and is averaging 34.7 mpg; the EPA rating is 35! The 2026 come standard with even more standard features than the 2023: automatic folding side-view mirrors, heated rear seats and heads-up display. I am tired of black and/or gray interiors. My Sportage is wolf gray with, what I call, a terracotta interior. My Optima was virtually trouble free in the seven years I owned it and the 2023 Sportage has been trouble free in over two and a half years of ownership.

Out of all cars I have owned. The 2026 Sportage is by far a more. Complete car. Great gas mileage, great handling, great acceleration & braking. The "looks" are of a .ore expensive car. Definitely a catch

Rough driving experience? Without a doubt the worst, constant failure of the Kia Connect... Say it ain't so. Totally my own fault tbh, I brought my previous car in to the Kia dealership for new brakes & spotted a 2026 Wolf Grey XLine calling my name. Let's just say its now been back in the service dept 6 times in 4 months for various issues (Mostly the entire car shaking) still no luck and might as well talk about the last trip to the dealer when I picked it up and there is a huge dent (Yeah not a ding) on the passenger side door. They told me they weould get it repaired when its in for the first oil change. If ever I wanted a lease to go in fast this one without a doubt tops the list. Lesson learned.. My teenage Sons dont even want to drive it, imagine a 2026 model car that drives so bad your teenagers would rather share a 2013 Rav4..The day the lease ends and I turn it back in will be a great day.

Great small SUV. Hybrid engine gives the car much better get-up than the non-hybrid engines. Great MPGs, drives smooth, quiet cabin, comfortable seats. Great features for the SX trim — can practically drive itself. No problems of any kind since owning this car. Would definitely recommend this vehicle.

I've had my 2026 Sportage EX Hybrid for about 5 weeks, Actually, got it because of the high ratings . This SUV is spacious and has comfortable seating, has a modern enfotainment center (although it takes time to adjust to it) and has a surprisingly QUIET cabin. It also has a large cargo area. It rides smoothly and takes bumps pretty well. If you need more "bells and whistles" than the EX trim, you may want to go to the next trim level. I'm disappointed in the MPG, Kia claims it gets "combined driving" 34 mpg....not....even...close. With conservative driving, I,m getting about 28, maybe 29. Kia reps tell me to wait until the "break in" period is over, I don't believe that but maybe, who knows

One year in and it’s perfect for my needs. Lots of great features, really enjoy the cooled/heated seats, heated steering wheel, sunroof, and plenty of space. Has enough horsepower for normal daily driving with a smooth transmission. Also appreciate the safety features like Birds Eye view and when the car in front goes it lets you know. I haven’t had any maintenance issues. Has a big screen for navigation. Out of the ten cars I’ve own this is easily in the top 3 most enjoyable.
