SPYSHOTS: 2026 Kia Sportage Facelift

#kia #sportage #spy #spyshots

So far, prototypes of the 2026 model year Kia Sportage have been photographed exclusively in South Korea. More recently, the carparazzi spied a Euro-spec vehicle on the public roads of Nurburg in Germany, with said prototype boasting a roll cage and Recaro seats for the front occupants.
Don't look forward to a hi-po version, though, because Kia's EV6 GT is plenty exceptional in this regard. We also have to remember that Kia described the zero-emission crossover as the indirect successor to the Stinger GT, whose platform is a modified version of the Genesis architecture that underpins combustion-engined, rear-biased G sedans and GV utility vehicles.

Pictured on Michelin Primacy 4 premium summer tires for everyday performance rather than hot laps at the Green Hell, the refreshed Sportage appears to feature Star Map lighting up front. Said lighting signature is shared with the recently updated EV6, along with the family-sized EV9, the EV6, and even smaller EV3.

The vertically oriented headlights flank a slightly revised front grille. Fitted with machine-finish wheels, the camouflaged also shows a revised taillight graphic. The liftgate camo indicates either a cosmetic element with no lighting function or a slender light bar à la the EV6.
