The Sportage is Kia's top selling medium SUV, a sharply styled five seat family car with one of the roomiest cabins and boots in its class. The freshened 2026 model gets a bolder face and bigger curved screens. This petrol and diesel range spans a value petrol, a punchier turbo petrol and a torquey turbo diesel that tows well. It's locally tuned for Australian roads, backed by Kia's seven year warranty, and climbs from the well equipped S through SX and SX+ to the luxury GT-Line. A hybrid is listed separately.

The AutoFocus Verdict
The S is the honest entry, and it keeps the big touchscreen, wireless phone mirroring and the standard safety suite, so the essentials are covered. The 2.0 petrol in FWD is the budget pick; the diesel in AWD is worth the extra only if you tow or cover big distances. Step up to the SX if you want the everyday comfort it adds.
