Kia Sportage 2026 Roars into Guangzhou: Is Bigger Better or Just Bolder?

The model has already received approval from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China and is gearing up for a market debut in the first quarter of 2026. Equipped with two turbocharged engines – a 1.5-liter and a 2.0-liter – this crossover aims to pique interest among diverse automotive enthusiasts.

The dimensions of the model are 4695 × 1865 × 1678/1680 mm, with a wheelbase of 2755 mm. Approach and departure angles clock in at 19 and 26 degrees, respectively. Notably, the Sportage 2026 tailored for the Chinese market is based on the extended wheelbase akin to the U.S. version, making it roomier than its European counterpart.
