Interior Review of the 2026 Sportage

You won’t find the 2026 Kia Sportage interior design and technology lacking. The cabin gives off an upmarket vibe. There's also plenty of space for five people. There is 50 cubic feet of passenger volume, and the cloth-upholstered, manually adjustable front seats allow all riders to be comfortable. You can also upgrade to heated, power-adjustable seats and synthetic leather upholstery.

This SUV offers a generous amount of cargo space. It has 74.1 cubic feet of cargo space when the back row is folded down. Bulky items can be loaded and unloaded easily thanks to the cargo hold's wide opening. Getting a hands-free power liftgate is also an option.

The interior of the Sportage is well-designed. Everything from the slightly curved panorama screen across the dash to the layout of buttons and controls is intuitive and cohesive. When it's not holding drinks, the cup holder area can be a storage space. There's a control that adjusts either the audio volume or cabin temperature.

Families with small kids will love traveling in this SUV, thanks to two sets of LATCH connectors and a tether anchor.
