What's New for the 2027 Kia Sportage?
Following its recent refresh, the Sportage carries over into the 2027 model year without any major modifications.
What Are the 2027 Kia Sportage Trims & Features?
Kia provides six distinct trim options for the new Sportage: LX, EX, SX, X-Line AWD, SX Prestige, and X-Pro Prestige AWD.
For value-minded shoppers, the base LX trim offers plenty of everyday practicality. Standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, a Smart Key with push-button start, and a six-speaker audio setup.
Moving up to the EX trim introduces popular comfort upgrades, such as heated front seats and a wireless smartphone charger.
The SX trim steps things up with premium touches. Tech enthusiasts will enjoy the dual 12.3-inch panoramic display screens with built-in navigation, while music lovers can take advantage of the upgraded Harman Kardon sound system. Long highway trips are also made easier with Highway Driving Assist, which blends adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance.
For those wanting a tougher stance, the Sportage X-Line AWD comes equipped with standard all-wheel drive, Terrain Mode, and rugged roof rails primed for outdoor trips.
The SX Prestige focuses on upscale luxury, adding ventilated front seating, a 360-degree camera system, and extra driver-assist features. Rounding out the lineup is the adventure-ready Sportage X-Pro Prestige AWD, equipped with high-clearance suspension and BFGoodrich all-terrain tires.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 Sportage Have?
Under the hood sits an adaptable 2.5-liter GDI four-cylinder engine producing 187 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque-well suited for routine errands and highway road trips alike. While front-wheel drive is standard on most models, an available active all-wheel drive system offers added traction and confidence in challenging weather.
What Safety Features Does the 2027 Sportage Include?
Every Sportage comes standard with Kia Drive Wise, a comprehensive suite of active safety technologies. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist watches for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists ahead, while Lane Follow Assist keeps the SUV centered in its travel lane. Other standard safety features include Smart Cruise Control, Driver Attention Warning, Safe Exit Warning, and parking sensors. Upper trim levels also add a live-feed Blind-Spot View Monitor displayed right in the digital instrument cluster.
