it home reported on september 4 that the automotive media carbuzz published a blog post yesterday (september 3), reporting that kia is testing the 2026 sportage on the nürburgring circuit and shared relevant photos.

according to the exposed pictures, the basic appearance and most design elements of the 2026 kia subaru have not changed, but the front face has been greatly changed, and its style is more in line with the kia ev9 three-row suv and the small ev3 crossover.

the current sportage features boomerang-shaped daytime running lights and diamond-shaped headlights, but the facelifted model will have longer light clusters installed on the edges of the large, nearly square tiger-nose grille.

the lower air intake appears to be largely the same, and kia may have updated the surrounding theme and trim elements. the hood hasn't changed much, and the front and rear fenders also appear to be the same as before, with kia tweaking the side profile.

behind the c-pillar, the glass cover molding used to be flush with the window, but now appears to have a small groove added between the cover and the glass, creating a wider, sportier look.

the rocker panels also appear to have been redesigned. at the rear, the taillights are still connected by a narrow black strip, but the taillight clusters themselves are sharper and feature a new graphic.

in terms of interior, it is reported that it will be equipped with a 12.3-inch driver display and another matching infotainment touch display.

in terms of power, it is estimated to remain unchanged. the 2026 kia lion platinum will have the following three configurations:

the fuel version is equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 187 horsepower and a maximum torque of 178 lb-ft. it will continue to use an eight-speed automatic transmission.

the hybrid version will continue to use a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 227 horsepower

the plug-in hybrid model has a maximum power of 261 horsepower.
