You can connect your phone wirelessly using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto; no cords are needed. Play your music, check directions, or make a call without missing a beat.
Three Power Options Built for Arkansas Roads
For the 2026 model year, the Sportage gives you the power to choose how you drive:
- Gas Engine: The base four-cylinder engine delivers 187 horsepower, offering strong, smooth performance for everyday trips.
- Hybrid: Hybrid powertrains combine the gas engine with an electric motor to help you save fuel and go further between fill-ups.
- Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV): This hybrid powertrain uses a gas engine and an electric motor and lets you drive up to 34 miles using only electricity. This is perfect for running errands around town without using gas.
Front wheel drive comes standard, while all wheel drive is available for those who want extra traction and confidence in challenging driving conditions.
No matter which version you pick, the Sportage delivers a comfortable ride and great control, whether you’re cruising through downtown Fort Smith or taking the backroads out to Ozark.
