Built for the varied needs of Illinois drivers, the Sportage Hybrid brings together power, comfort, and efficiency to make every drive — from city streets to snowy highways — smoother and more enjoyable.
Versatile Performance for Every Adventure
The 2026 Sportage Hybrid stands out with its 1.6L Turbo-Hybrid powertrain that generates a class-leading 232 horsepower and 271 lbs.-ft. of torque, giving you the strength and responsiveness you need for daily driving and weekend adventures.
Its available AWD system with Terrain Mode lets you toggle between Snow, Mud, and Sand settings, helping the SUV adapt easily to changing Midwest road conditions.
For those who prioritize efficiency, the LX trim delivers an impressive EPA-estimated 42 MPG combined, limiting fuel stops during long drives and commutes. This blend of capability and efficiency makes the Sportage Hybrid a smart, practical choice for Illinois drivers.
Advanced Features for Cold Weather Comfort
Winter-ready features make the 2026 Sportage Hybrid especially appealing in colder climates. Heated front seats are standard or available across most trims, and higher trims like SX Prestige add a heated steering wheel and heated second-row outboard seats for an extra level of comfort.
The available Remote Start with Climate Control allows you to warm the cabin before stepping outside, creating a welcoming environment before you even open the door. These thoughtful amenities help make harsh Midwest winters much more manageable.
Cutting-Edge Technology for a Connected Drive
The Sportage Hybrid brings modern connectivity to the forefront. The available Dual Panoramic Display provides more than 24 inches of combined digital screen space, giving you a sleek view of navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings in one streamlined layout.
Standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep your phone integrated and easy to access, while the available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System enhances your listening experience for long drives or daily commutes.
For added convenience, Digital Key 2.0 transforms your compatible smartphone into a secure key, allowing you to lock, unlock, and start your Sportage Hybrid with ease. You can even share access with up to three additional users — perfect for families or shared vehicles.
Safety That Inspires Confidence
The 2026 Sportage Hybrid is packed with driver-assistance technologies that help keep you confident on the road. Features such as Auto Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist provide important layers of safety during busy commutes and unpredictable weather.
