Sportage Interior Dimensions

The Sportage seats five across two rows and provides nearly identical front- and rear-seat legroom. Its interior measurements make it easier to evaluate passenger space before you start comparing individual comfort features.

Interior dimensions include:

  • Front legroom: 41.4 inches
  • Rear legroom: 41.3 inches
  • Front shoulder room: 57.5 inches
  • Rear shoulder room: 55.6 inches
  • Front and rear hip room: 54.8 and 53.4 inches

Headroom depends on whether the Sportage has a panoramic sunroof. Without one, front headroom measures 39.6 inches and rear headroom measures 39.4 inches. With the sunroof, those measurements change to 37.8 inches in front and 38 inches in the rear.

Seating Options and Materials

Seat equipment changes considerably as you move through the Sportage lineup. The LX starts with cloth seating, while other trims introduce SynTex artificial leather or SynTex Premium artificial leather.

Seating materials include:

  • LX: Cloth seating
  • EX and SX: SynTex artificial leather
  • SX: Optional SynTex Premium artificial leather
  • SX Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro Prestige: SynTex Premium artificial leather

Every Sportage also has a 60/40 split-folding rear seat with reclining capability. That configuration allows the second row to accommodate passengers, cargo, or a combination of the two.

Front Seat Comfort

Driver and front-passenger adjustments vary by trim, making this one of the areas worth comparing closely during a dealership visit.

Front-seat equipment includes:

  • LX: Six-way manually adjustable driver’s seat and four-way manually adjustable front-passenger seat
  • EX, SX, SX Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro Prestige: 10-way power driver’s seat with two-way lumbar support
  • SX Prestige and X-Pro Prestige: Eight-way power front-passenger seat
  • EX through X-Pro Prestige: Heated front seats
  • SX Prestige and X-Pro Prestige: Ventilated front seats

The LX can add a 10-way power driver’s seat and heated front seats through an available Convenience Package. A two-position Integrated Memory System for the driver’s seat and outside mirrors is standard on SX, SX Prestige, and X-Pro Prestige. It is also available on X-Line through the Technology Package.

Sportage Cargo Space

A dual-level cargo floor gives Sportage owners two ways to prioritize storage capacity and floor position. Moving the floor changes the available cargo volume both behind the rear seats and with that row folded.

Cargo measurements include:

  • Low floor behind second row: 39.6 cubic feet
  • Low floor behind first row: 74.1 cubic feet
  • High floor behind second row: 36.6 cubic feet
  • High floor behind first row: 69.3 cubic feet

A cargo net hook is standard across the lineup, and 12-volt power outlets are positioned in the front console and cargo area. The second row has a 60/40 split design, you can fold one portion while leaving the other section available for seating. That flexibility can be useful when you need additional cargo length without giving up the entire second row.

Climate and Cabin Comfort

Cabin climate equipment ranges from straightforward air conditioning on LX to additional automatic controls on the rest of the lineup.

Comfort features include:

  • LX: Air conditioning with second-row air vents
  • EX through X-Pro Prestige: Dual-zone full automatic temperature control
  • EX through X-Pro Prestige: Automatic defog system
  • SX Prestige and X-Pro Prestige: Heated steering wheel
  • All trims: Tilt-and-telescopic steering column

The steering wheel is leather-wrapped across all six trims.

Interior Trim and Storage

The Sportage uses different cabin finishes to distinguish its trims while retaining practical storage throughout the lineup.

Interior details include:

  • LX: Metal-painted center fascia
  • EX, SX and SX Prestige: Unique-design center fascia
  • X-Line and X-Pro Prestige: Hydrographic wood center fascia
  • SX, SX Prestige, and X-Pro Prestige: Satin matte inside door handles
  • X-Pro Prestige: Alloy pedals

Every trim provides a padded front center armrest with a storage box and cupholders, a rear center armrest with cupholders, front seatback pockets, and door-pocket bottle holders.

Displays and Connectivity

Every 2026 Sportage has a 12.3-inch touchscreen, but the infotainment setup changes as you move through the lineup.

Technology configurations include:

  • LX, EX and X-Line: 12.3-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth®, satellite radio, HD Radio, and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
  • SX, SX Prestige and X-Pro Prestige: 12.3-inch touchscreen navigation with Kia Connect, voice recognition, Wi-Fi capability, and map over-the-air updates
  • LX, EX and X-Line: 12.3-inch LCD with an integrated 4.2-inch TFT cluster
  • SX, SX Prestige and X-Pro Prestige: 12.3-inch TFT supervision cluster with a panoramic curved design
  • EX through X-Pro Prestige: Wireless phone charging pad with an integrated cooling fan

The X-Line can add the navigation system and panoramic-style digital instrument cluster through its available Technology Package.

The Harman Kardon Premium Audio system is standard on SX, SX Prestige, and X-Pro Prestige. It is available on X-Line through the Technology Package. The system adds dedicated center and subwoofer speakers to the cabin.

Charging and Power Access

Charging access is spread between the front and rear portions of the cabin, although rear USB-C placement differs on the LX.

USB and power connections include:

  • Front USB-C: One charging port on every trim
  • LX rear USB-C: Two ports at the rear console
  • EX through X-Pro Prestige rear USB-C: Two ports positioned at the rear seatbacks
  • 12-volt outlets: One in the front console and one in the cargo area

These connections give front and rear occupants dedicated places to connect compatible devices without relying on a single charging point.

Lighting and Sunroof Features

Interior lighting also changes as equipment levels increase. LX, EX, and X-Line use standard room, map, and luggage lamps, while LED versions are standard on SX, SX Prestige, and X-Pro Prestige. LED cabin lighting is optional on EX and X-Line.
