2026 Kia Sportage Reviews SummaryNo model demonstrates Kia’s growth like the Sportage compact crossover SUV. The nameplate has been around since Kia’s early days in North America, and it 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, and it gets revised styling for 2026. Verdict: The refreshed Sportage arrives with the competent execution we’ve come to expect from Kia. | |
