Crossover SUVs continue to be a competitive segment of new vehicles to this day, and the Kia Sportage is a popular model in America. Since Kia underwent a major brand overhaul and refresh of its product lineup post-2010s, the Korean marque’s compact crossover has also proven to be its best-selling model globally. Kia intends to continue selling the Sportage into the 2026 model year, following a small mid-life update that brings new styling and an array of new tech features onboard to continue making their SUV competitive among new models.
