Hybrid power appeals to many Round Rock drivers, but many also have their own reasons for preferring traditional gas power, often for the lower cost of entry. That said, it’s worth noting that while the 2026 RAV4 lineup is hybrid-only with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, the 2026 Sportage lineup offers more variety with gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid variants, giving you the flexibility to choose what makes sense for both your driving needs and budget.
In terms of power, the ultra-efficient Sportage Hybrid delivers about the same horsepower (232 combined hp) as the RAV4 (236 combined hp). And while pursuing the affordably priced baseline Sportage with a 187-hp gas engine will come with expectedly lower fuel economy, you’ll still earn a highly respectable 25 mpg city/33 mpg highway/28 mpg combined on FWD trim levels.
When you climb inside the 2026 Kia Sportage interior, you’ll find comfortable space and modern features. Take a look below to see how it compares to the RAV4 while being available to Cedar Creek drivers for a lower price:
