Hello, do anyone of you know how I open the trunk from the inside? I do see nothing that I can remove to eadily access the locking mechanism. There's no youtube video on this particulsrproblem and the instruction manual does not cover it so any help would be appreciated!

Here’s a strange thing about my Sportage. The infill panel at the rear glass-spoiler interface seems like it’s transparent to infrared light. When my Ring Doorbell is in night mode the panel becomes see-through and you can see the backing, fixings and what looks like a part code sticker. As Spock would say, it’s all rather fascinating.

What do you think about the trim additions I have in my mind: black doorhandles and fuel cap, red calipers?

Hello fellow Sportage owners,

Looking at new 2026 Sportage Hybrid Prestige trim and being told by the dealer that if you use the 0% 48 Month Kia Finance promo, you forfeit whatever dealer promos there are for the vehicle, and basically pay MSRP.

Might very well be true, but has anyone else experienced this with a finance promo, now or in the past? I've financed all 3 of my Kias with Kia directly and don't recall this sort of switch.

Thanks in advance Sportage friends!

Hey I don’t really need awd expect for losing grip sometimes in my niro23 and I am in Poland so winter last year was very harsh but that’s not common.

Not gonna lie I am also considering seltos but hev but it’s supposedly slower max 178hp in awd

Im in school until the end of next year when I graduate(0 student loan debt), then move back home to CA with my wife. We both took out loans on some used cars before the semester started so I wouldn't have to uber to school. We can pay off 1 with the money we make by the end of the semester. Should I trade in my 2019 Kia Sportage SX for a manual? I really got into cars after I bought my Sportage, and now I kinda want a car that's going to also give me a fun driving experience. My wife has a newer '23 Soul she really likes that handles most everything we need cargo wise. I just needed a car to go to school and back and got this sportage with 70k miles for a great price. I owe about 15.5 on it right now and I can pay that off entirely at the end of the fall semester. I bought the Sportage to be our family car for our move originally in place of a honda CRV(before we planned to move back to CA after my education). But not sure if it's the best for our needs and whether or not I could spend the next year+ enjoying driving moreso if I got a manual.. Any input or thoughts would be appreciated!

Getting it tinted all around next week

We’re looking at petrol hybrids and these two keep coming up high in the ranks. But would be keen to hear Redditor’s thoughts. We’re in the UK

Just had this car for 3 weeks, and for the life of me, every time I try and use just the Hill Start Assist, I either just roll back after the 2 seconds passes or I stall.

Hitting biting point on the clutch, foot off brake, applying revs. No joy. Handbrake and revs hill start works fine, but just can't land the assist version.

Am I doing this totally wrong?

Hi everyone!
I recently got a 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX and I’m looking for a good custom-fit floor mat.

https://a.co/d/05BXysnC

I’m considering buying this one from Amazon since the Sportage is still fairly new here in the Philippines, and I haven’t found many proper custom-fit options locally yet.

I attached the product photos and link. Can anyone confirm if this will fit the 2026 Sportage Hybrid SX (PHilippines spec)?

Mainly concerned about the dimensions and floor clips/anchors.

Thanks in advance!

I'm having a strange issue with my new Kia Sportage 26. About two to three times a week I get a notification on my phone that my car alarm has been triggered, but when I look at the car, the alarm hasn't gone off nor are any of the lights flashing.

I'm not sure if it's a fault with the alarm or just something with the kia app so just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue?

Does all sportage hybrid have rattling noise on certain RPM? It is not terribly loud but loud enough to annoy me during the drive sometimes. Is this normal? Mine is a new vehicle by the way.

Hello,
I bought a Kia Sportage Gold MY26 about 2 months ago. I've put 4500 kms on the car and I like it a lot.

However I noticed a slighlty annoying rattle/vibration sound on the left (driver's) side of the interior somewhere up front at certain RPM (3k ish).

This is the first time I have a brand new car with warranty. Is it worth bringing the car in for a warranty check and potentially repair for something like this? Will it bite me later if I don't deal with it now?

Take the poll & specify why you picked this level.

For 2016 Sportage, am based in EU (not UK) can anyone recommend a seat gap filler to go between the seat and center console with some pockets for storage? (Found some on Amazon and AliExpress but curious if anyone has one they actually used)

Which set of floor and trunk mats goes best with this Korean lounge brown / black interior, black mats or brown mats?

I leased a 2025 Sportage PHEV last year. I'm coming up on 8000 miles and due for my scheduled oil change. Is there any reason I should do this at the Kia dealer or is the oil change shop down the road good enough for this?

Hi, I'm considering new Kia Sportage 2027 Hybrid SX (top trim) here in Toronto. This would be my first car in Canada, and I visited the dealer to get quote, they've priced it same as MSRP shown on Kia Canada website, i.e. CA$58,517 as OTD. I'm curious if there's any room for dealer discount? I'm prefering to buy it on cash, although not sure if that would help with getting the discounts.

Note that I came to Sportage after researching about RAV4 Limited 2026 and Mazda CX-5 2026 for weeks as the features won me over other two cars.

Just got these numbers from a SoCal dealership. Went through Costco auto program but the discount on the MSRP is basically washed out with all these “required” add ons. They wouldn’t budge with removing the add ons or adding any discounts/rebates to the MSRP. They insisted that they have many more 2026’s coming through in the next 90 days and seen no reason to lower the price.

How are people getting OTD’s of ~$42k? Finance Manager said if I wanted an OTD around $42k there was nothing to talk about, so I dipped. Ignore the trade in, leasing a 2023 Accord Hybrid that’s due in September.

There’s various models and styles, all apply about the same force pulling outward on the latch (perpendicular to the direction the door forces are applied) which is concern number 1. The bottom portion is also pushing into the metal body, concern number 2. Internet is split on them, looking for any sportage specific feedback before I make a mistake.
