Would you like to drive a compact SUV that effortlessly embodies your active lifestyle and vibrant personality? Then we at Kia of Des Moines would like to recommend the 2026 Kia Sportage to you. After reading about some of its top features below, visit our location for an in-person look.
Design
Whether you prefer to stay under the radar or be at the center of attention while out and about in Ames, you can achieve either in the Kia Sportage by choosing a paint color as understated as Panthera Metal or as eye-catching as Nebular Blue or Runway Red. Plus, when you’re headed to Ada Hayden Heritage Park to enjoy the nice weather out on the water, the kayak you’re carrying on this vehicle’s available roof rails1 will have onlookers glancing at you with envy. Are you a fan of the rugged aesthetic delivered by chunky off-road-ready tires? Then spring for the X-Pro Prestige edition, which comes with a set of available 17-inch alloy wheels with a matte black finish matched with available all-terrain tires. Last but not least, standard LED headlights and daytime running lamps add a modern touch to this model for your urban adventures.
Driver Assistance
Even veteran drivers will benefit from the helpful safety features offered aplenty by the 2026 Kia Sportage. Getting caught off guard by frontal obstacles, be it passersby or bikers, while behind the wheel happens to the best of us, but in this Kia, such instances will be kept to a minimum by the standard Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning Detection2 looking out for obstructions ahead of you. The available Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist3 provides similar support, watching for passing vehicles you may bump into while in reverse. To make the most out of tight parking spaces, take advantage of audible alerts from the standard front and rear parking sensors4. Last but not least, keeping in check any distracted vehicle operation on your part will be the standard Driver Attention Warning5.
Capabilities
No matter which trim level of the 2026 Sportage you choose, a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine will work diligently under the hood to put 187 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque in the palm of your hand as you make your way down Route 30. This SUV will have no trouble getting you through snowy winter months either, as it can be equipped with an available AWD6 system. Choosing this drivetrain gives you access to available Terrain Modes such as Mud, Snow, and Sand, which are sure to come in handy alongside the standard Normal, Smart, and Sport drive settings. Sticking with standard FWD has its perks as well, since the 25/33/28 MPG city/hwy/combined7 fuel economy rating with this system will help you save at the gas station. If all this information has managed to pique your interest in the Sportage, contact us to schedule your test drive straight away!

Testimonials
“ Highly reccomend!!! No pressure at all from Gus our salesperson. He explained everything thoroughly about the vehicles that we test drove. He listened to our questions, and provided a mini van (that doesnt look like a mini van) that addressed our needs. I would buy from this dealership in a heartbeat again!!!! ”
“ Excellent service. Love my new K4 ”
“ Kaitlyn was very kind, patient, and helpful. She took the time to address my issue and made the process easy and stress-free. Excellent customer service! ”
“ This was my first experience at a dealership and everyone was so sweet and patient, I highly recommend going here for your dream car! ”
“ Was very pleased Joe took very good care of us when we were shopping and was able to make the purchase smooth. ”
“ Great sales team at KIA of Des Moines ”
“ Got my second Kia this week and couldn’t be happier! Bought my Forte in 2019 new and just traded it in for a 2026 Sportage. Bill Stone and the whole team was great to work with. Can’t recommend enough! ”
“ I had a great experience buying my new 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid! It was my first car buying experience since my father passed 1.5 years ago; JR and Phil took time to answer my questions and listen to my thoughts and concerns. Aaron made the signing papers fun and easy. Jacob made sure I could drive away comfortable with the important features. Together they made a great team and I will be sure to be getting it serviced there too. Best and easiest car buying experience ever! ”
“ Very efficient very respectful. Had the car and paperwork ready for us. ”
“ We just purchased a new 2027 Telluride hybrid SX procedure we ordered it from Jeff. It came in two weeks before he said it would which was nice. We went through the process of paying for it and then They showed us everything we needed to know on to have very thoroughly. It’s a good place to do business. I’m saying this with some experience I bought over 40 new cars in my lifetime and this is one of the better processes. ”
“ We bought a 2027 Kia Telluride from Antonio and enjoyed the experience all the way through. He was very friendly and easy to deal with. They also did a nice job of walking us through the features of the vehicle. Everything was done and ready in a timely manner which was much appreciated! Thank you Kia of Des Moines. ”
“ Great experience. Zak was very informative and helpful. ”
“ Best car buying experience by far. Everyone was so helpful and made it super simple and fun! ”
“ Customer service was excellent. Shout out to, Gus! The gal in the service department was also excellent at explaining all the features to us as well! Overall great experience! ”
“ The salesman was very kind and courteous! He showed all options on the car. Gave us a good deal! ”
“ Had a great experience. They treated me with great professionalism and deliver of the car was in a timely matter. ”
“ We had a great experience getting into a lease with Kia of Des Moines. We were in and out quickly, had our paperwork done promptly, and everything explained to us. More importantly we got into a payment we could afford that was better than the competition. We considered Toyota and Ford. Toyota has struggled with inventory that fit our needs, and Ford has stopped producing Sedans. Regardless, we are pleased with Kia. ”
“ I recently purchased a 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid from Kia of Des Moines. I test drove the vehicle and obtained a quote for my current vehicle trade-in and within an hour we made a deal. It was a smooth process and there was no pressure from the salesman Jeff Davis. I didn't have a check or my current vehicle title with me, so they allowed me to make a wire transfer from my bank and I drove my new vehicle home that day. I returned the following day with the title for my old vehicle. It was a great experience not only with the sales staff, but also with Jim Voss in finance and with Jacob Kline in delivery who set up my new vehicle. I appreciated the fact that no one pushed an extended warranty program which a lot of dealers do these days. Kia already has an awesome warranty program. ”
“ Great place to buy a car. From start to finish, the KIA team provides excellent service! ”
“ Very professional and friendly service ”
“ We recently bought a new Telluride from them, and we enjoyed the experience. It was our first time buying a new car and they were very patient with us and weren't pushy at all. They didn't try any tricks with us and are very satisfied. We enjoyed our process working with them. ”
“ We came in and looked at a few cars, we were very happy with are sales rep and also the financial department. The gal that went over our new car and showed us stuff was great as well. This is our 3rd kia and we love it each time. Thank you again for the great service. ”
“ JR was very helpful in helping me make the right decisions!! I love my new car! ”
“ Best car purchase experience ever!!!! Joe made the process very easy and stress free. ”
“ Fantastic experience. Knowledgeable and quick. ”
“ Had a great experience at Kia of Des Moines buying my 2026 K4 GT-Line Premium. My salesman JR was good, honest, and patient through the whole process. He worked hard to get me the right car at the right price and rate, and treated me with respect. It was month-end and the dealership was really busy, so we didn’t get to take the traditional photo with the flower on top of the car. But that’s all good and totally understandable. Before we left, one of the managers came over, shook my hand, and thanked us for our business. That kind of personal touch meant a lot, especially on such a hectic day. JR and the whole team at Kia of Des Moines were professional from start to finish. If you’re in Des Moines looking for a Kia, ask for JR. Highly recommend! ”
“ I purchased a new Kia K5 GT Line from Kia of Des Moines after my daughter’s 2023 Kia K5 was rear ended by an uninsured motorist. I’ve purchased many vehicles in my lifetime and I have to say this was the easiest and unpressured car buying experience I’ve ever had. Thank You to Kia of Des Moines staff and or salesman JR. Best Always, Jeff ”
“ Excellent attention from the Kia staff and I recommend Bob Mercer's attention; he will take care of you very well ”
“ Excellent attention from the Kia staff and I recommend Bob Mercer's attention; he will take care of you very well ”
“ I had one of the best experiences at Kia. Zack was so helpful and attentive. He listened to what I was looking for and showed me every option that I had available to me. I have never had a car salesman work as hard as he did. He provided top notch customer service. But it didn’t end there. Signing the financial paperwork was quick and seamless. Also, the tutorial that I received at the end of the purchase was also a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend Kia of Des Moines if anyone is looking for a great vehicle and even better customer service. ”
“ Quick and easy. Fast quality service. Felt everything was transparent and helpful. ”
“ The salesman and other staff were attentive and worked with my wife and I to get not one, but two new vehicles at a price we could afford! The salesman went the extra mile literally as he had to pull several vehicles to look at until we found the one that had everything we were looking for. Definitely recommend Kia of Des Moines. ”
“ Great experience, in and out in 30 minutes! ”
