2026 Kia Sportage S Hybrid review
Pros
- Sharp drive-away pricing
- Lovely ride, on-road refinement
- Heaps of space
Cons
- SX adds a lot for not much more
- Some rental-spec trimmings
- Still pricier than Chinese PHEVs

The 2024 Kia Sportage stayed focused on space, design, technology and broad drivetrain choice. That year, the public sales record shows 22,210 Australian deliveries. The showroom context is simple: arguably one of the best medium-SUVs on the market, Kia's recently launched Sportage is more spacious and upmarket than before, and still offers a choice of front- or all-wheel drive and petrol or diesel power. The closest comparison set was the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson and Mitsubishi Outlander.
