London Kia
The Kia Sportage continues to be a popular choice for drivers who want a versatile SUV with modern technology, impressive interior space, and everyday comfort. For 2026, the Sportage lineup offers several trim levels, each building on the previous one with added features and convenience.
Drivers shopping for a new Sportage in London, ON can explore these trim options at London Kia. From the well-equipped base model to the feature-rich top trim, there is a Sportage designed for different lifestyles and budgets.
Every 2026 Sportage trim is powered by a 2.5-litre Theta III 4-cylinder engine producing 187 hp at 6,100 rpm and 178 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. This engine works with an 8-speed automatic transmission designed to provide smooth acceleration and efficient performance for daily commuting and highway driving.
Drive Mode Select allows drivers to adjust the vehicle’s driving characteristics to suit different road conditions. Idle Stop and Go technology helps improve efficiency during city driving by automatically shutting off the engine when stopped and restarting it when needed.
When properly equipped, the Sportage can tow up to 2,500 lbs. Estimated fuel economy ratings of 9.3 L/100 km in the city and 7.0 L/100 km on the highway help keep long trips convenient and efficient.
The base trim of the Sportage delivers a surprising amount of value. It features 17-inch alloy wheels, projection LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, and roof rails that add both style and practicality.
Inside, drivers will find comfortable cloth seats, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a tilt and telescopic steering column. The cabin is also designed with everyday convenience in mind, offering rear air vents, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, and 60:40 split-folding rear seats for flexible cargo space.
Technology features include a 12.3-inch multimedia interface with HD Radio and SiriusXM, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and a six-speaker audio system. Safety is also a priority, with systems such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Following Assist 2, Lane Keep Assist, Parking Distance Warning, and a rear-view camera with dynamic parking guidelines.
Moving up the lineup adds more convenience and premium touches. The EX trim introduces all-wheel drive capability along with features like a heated steering wheel, synthetic leather seating, a power driver’s seat with lumbar support, and a wireless phone charger.
The X-Line trim builds on this with a more distinctive design. It includes larger 19-inch alloy wheels with Michelin tires, ladder-type roof rails, gloss black exterior accents, and unique X-Line styling elements. These additions give the Sportage a more rugged and adventure-ready appearance while maintaining everyday practicality.
Higher trims focus on enhanced comfort and advanced technology. The EX Premium adds features such as a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, interior LED lighting, rain-sensing wipers, and Highway Drive Assist for more relaxed highway travel.
At the top of the lineup, the SX trim delivers the most advanced features. Highlights include a Harman Kardon premium audio system, a 12.3-inch supervision cluster, head-up display, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a digital key system. Advanced safety technologies such as Surround View Monitor, Blind View Monitor, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2.0 provide additional confidence on busy roads.
The 2026 Kia Sportage lineup offers a range of trims that build on the same strong foundation of performance, safety, and versatility. Whether you prefer the value-focused LX or the technology-rich SX, each model delivers the space, efficiency, and modern features drivers expect from the Kia lineup.
