Vehicle Overview
The 2026 Kia Sportage EX FWD delivers a compelling blend of everyday practicality, modern technology, and comfort-oriented features in a stylish, fuel-efficient compact SUV package. Building on the Sportage’s reputation for value and versatility, the EX trim adds a strong set of standard equipment and amenities that make it a great choice for drivers seeking a well-rounded vehicle without stepping up to higher price levels.
Performance & Efficiency:
Under the hood, the Sportage EX FWD is powered by a responsive 2.5-liter inline-4 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing approximately 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. This efficient powertrain provides a smooth driving experience for daily commuting, errands, and highway cruising. Front-wheel-drive Sportage EX models also achieve competitive fuel economy, with EPA estimates around 25 MPG city / 33 MPG highway.
Exterior & Presence:
The Sportage EX presents a modern, refined design that’s both confident and practical. Sleek LED lighting, crisp body lines, and available 18-inch alloy wheels give the EX a contemporary SUV profile that stands out in its segment. Its aerodynamic shape and thoughtful styling make it as appealing in the city as it is on scenic drives.
Interior Comfort & Technology:
Step inside and you’ll find an inviting cabin designed with comfort and convenience in mind. The Sportage EX comes standard with SynTex seat trim, heated front seats, and a 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support — ideal for longer journeys. Dual-zone automatic climate control and a smart power liftgate enhance everyday usability.
Tech features include a large 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and the intuitive Kia Connect system that keeps you connected on the road. Standard driver-assistance features like blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and adaptive cruise control add confidence and peace of mind behind the wheel.
Cargo & Practicality:
With room for five passengers and generous cargo space behind the rear seats, the Sportage EX accommodates everything from groceries and sports gear to travel luggage. Folding rear seats expand cargo versatility for weekend adventures or larger loads.
Capability:
While not designed as an off-road SUV, the Sportage EX FWD handles daily driving duties with ease and reliability. Towing capacity on the FWD version is typically rated around 1,653 lbs, making it suitable for small trailers or recreational gear when needed.
