The Sportage is getting a mid-cycle update for 2026 including a refreshed exterior, a redesigned interior and additional equipment. This versatile compact SUV also offers multiple powertrain options. The standard 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine is somewhat less appealing and burns more fuel. The hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems are the better choices. The former achieves a combined 6.7 L/100 km, while the latter can travel up to 53 km in pure electric mode.
