The Kia Sportage compact SUV receives a stylish mid-cycle refresh for the 2026 model year, and it's now available at Matthews Kia of Schenectady. Explore the updated Sportage in person and take this versatile crossover for a test drive.
Refreshed Exterior Design
The 2026 Kia Sportage boasts a bold new look thanks to several exterior enhancements. You'll notice a more conventional rectangular grille that is a bit broader than the previous model-year. The striking inverted-L-shaped amber daytime running lights add a distinct flair to the Sportage's face and align it with the brand's new design language. Whether you're cruising through Albany or navigating the streets of Troy, the refreshed Sportage will turn heads.
Enhanced Interior Features
A standard 12.3-inch touchscreen dominates the dashboard, offering seamless access to infotainment and connectivity features. The squared-off two-spoke steering wheel provides a sporty touch. Drivers near Latham will appreciate the newly standard adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, perfect for commuting along I-87.
Terrain-Conquering Capability
For 2026, the Kia Sportage gets even more adventurous with the introduction of drive modes tailored to various terrains. All-wheel-drive models now offer snow, mud, and sand settings, allowing you to tackle the diverse landscapes around Clifton Park confidently. Whether navigating snowy roads or traversing off-the-beaten-path trails, the Sportage is ready for action.
A Trim for Every Lifestyle
With six available trims, the 2026 Kia Sportage caters to a wide range of preferences and budgets:
- LX
- EX
- X-Line
- SX
- SX-Prestige
- X-Pro Prestige
The LX and EX provide a strong foundation with features like blind spot collision warning, dual-zone automatic climate control, and smart power liftgate. Leatherette seat trim and heated front seats enhance comfort. For a bolder look, consider the X-Line with its unique exterior accents and exclusive alloy wheels.
Buyers near Troy seeking premium amenities will gravitate towards the SX and SX-Prestige trims. Panoramic sunroof, LED interior lighting, and a Harman Kardon premium audio system create an upscale ambiance. Driver assists like parking collision avoidance and surround view monitor provide added peace of mind. The range-topping X-Pro Prestige takes the Sportage's capability to the next level with 17-inch all-terrain tires and advanced tech features.
