Performance
Dispensing up to 187 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque, the 2026 Sportage LX’s 2.5L 4-cylinder engine is lively and dependable. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, it maintains a sensible 25/33/28 MPG city/hwy/combined1 fuel economy rating while delivering responsive and engaging performance. You can use the Drive Mode Select feature to tailor the SUV’s behavior if desired. Beyond the baseline Normal setting, it offers a spirited Sport toggle and a customizable MyDrive option. If you want to make the model even more adaptable and ready to handle Oak Lawn’s snowy winters, add the optional AWD system2 to boost its handling and traction. Whether you use it or the default FWD setup, you’ll be able to hitch up a boat or trailer thanks to the 2,500-lb. maximum towing capacity3.
Technology
The 2026 Kia Sportage LX edition makes engaging infotainment accessible at any budget by slotting a 12.3-in. touchscreen display across its dashboard. It comes with wireless Android Auto™4 and Apple CarPlay®5 compatibility, making it easy to sync your phone and access your must-have apps. Enjoy your favorite songs through the 6-speaker audio system, or settle in for a more curated experience with SiriusXM® Satellite Radio6. If your co-driver wants to act as DJ while you make your way to Worthbrook Park, they can do so thanks to the Bluetooth® Wireless Multi-Device Connectivity7. Both of you can charge up your tech with the two rear console USB-C ports. The multimedia system receives over-the-air updates8, so getting the latest bug fixes is hassle-free.
Safety
A wealth of advanced safety and driver-assist features are outfitted to the Sportage LX, including the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist & Junction Turning Detection9. This tool automatically applies the brakes when it detects the SUV is at risk of impacting an obstacle. When you’re cruising across I-55, the Lane Following Assist10 function works to keep the vehicle centered on your intended path. Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go11, meanwhile, maintains a set distance from the car ahead — even in heavy traffic. The Driver Attention Warning12 system can warn you if it senses that you’re too fatigued to stay safe on the road, advising you when to take a break. Before you pay us a visit, be sure to take a look at our current incentives to see how much you can save on this model!
