2026 Kia Sportage Comfort Features

Inside the 2026 Kia Sportage, comfort takes center stage with upgrades designed to make every drive more relaxed and enjoyable. Rear-seat passengers are treated to generous legroom (over 41 inches), which makes long road trips or daily commutes more pleasant for everyone in the cabin. There's also plenty of space for gear, groceries, or travel essentials, with up to 39.6 cubic feet of cargo room in the back. Plus, a dual-level cargo floor, standard on ICE and HEV models, gives you flexible options to organize your load just how you like it. On select hybrid and plug-in hybrid trims, heated rear seats bring extra coziness during colder Ohio mornings, and available power-folding mirrors make tight parking spots a breeze.

2026 Kia Sportage Safety Features

When it comes to safety, the 2026 Sportage doesn't hold back. It now comes standard with Auto Emergency Braking, which can detect vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. It can even apply the brakes automatically when needed. Hands-On Detection (HOD) is an innovative feature that can sense when you’re holding the steering wheel and alert you if you're not. Available driver-assist upgrades include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Direct Oncoming Detection and Highway Driving Assist 2, which can help you maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, assist with lane changes, and even provide evasive steering when necessary. If you need help squeezing into a tight spot, Parking Distance Warning systems offer alerts for the vehicle's front, sides, and rear.
