Second Sportage Hybrid
By Marshall in Las Vegas on 3/8/2026 4:24:00 AM
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. - 5.0

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 - 5.0
Great little SUV
By Ryan on 1/6/2026 2:54:00 PM
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.
