A Kia Sportage SUV rental with room to roam
Drive a Sportage
The 2026 Kia Sportage is a compact, five-seat SUV that does a lot with a little. Its mid-cycle refresh brings updated styling and a reworked cabin, plus your pick of an efficient 2.5L gas engine or a hybrid. It's an easy Kia rental to live with, whether you're running errands or chasing a long weekend.
On Turo, you book your Kia Sportage SUV rental from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Check each listing for trim, powertrain, and price before you book.

Efficient power, your way
Pick the Sportage powertrain that fits your trip. The 2.5L gas engine makes 187 hp and earns 28 mpg combined, while the hybrid delivers 232 hp and 42 mpg combined (FWD). The plug-in hybrid adds a 33-mile electric range, so short errands can run on electricity alone.
Cabin and cargo space for five
The Sportage seats five and still saves real room for your gear. You get 39.6 cu ft of cargo space behind the second row — enough for suitcases, a stroller, or a big grocery haul.
Need more? Fold the second row and the space grows to 74 cu ft, which makes quick work of flat-pack furniture, dorm move-ins, and bulky sports gear. Bring the whole crew for dinner across town, then drop the seats for a weekend of hauling whatever the plan calls for.
Tech that keeps you connected
Equipped Sportage trims put dual 12.3-inch panoramic curved displays side by side — one for touchscreen navigation, one for the digital instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto bring your phone's maps, music, and messages onto the screen without a cable.
On the SX-Prestige, a 10-inch head-up display puts key info in your line of sight, so your eyes stay on the road. Tech varies by trim and package, so check the listing to see what your Sportage includes. Then pair your phone, cue up your playlist, and let the navigation handle the turns.
Stand out with a Sportage
The Sportage fits the trips that make up real life. It's sized for couples and small families, roomy enough for weekend getaways, and efficient on commutes that mix city streets with highway miles. If you're shopping for one, a few days behind the wheel lets you test it — and compare other compact SUV rental options on Turo.
Top Sportage features
Refreshed 2026 design
Beyond efficiency and space, three things set the Sportage apart.
The 2026 Sportage arrives with a mid-cycle refresh, so you're driving the newest take on this compact SUV. Updated styling freshens the exterior, and an overhauled cabin gives you a more modern place to spend your trip.
For you, that means a current look at the curb and an interior designed around the dual-display setup on equipped trims. It's also a useful preview if the 2026 model is on your shopping list, so check the model year on the listing before you book — local vehicle owners offer a range of years.
X-Line and X-Pro trims with AWD
Looking for extra confidence when the forecast turns? The X-Line and X-Pro trims come with AWD, a strong match for rainy highways, snowy mountain-town streets, and long drives in changing weather.
These trims suit road trips that stack up miles across changing conditions. Picture a ski weekend with gear in back, a fall mountain drive, or a holiday visit with winter weather in the forecast. Look for X-Line or X-Pro on the listing if all-weather traction tops your list, then pack the cargo area and go.
Available AWD traction
FWD comes standard on the Sportage, and AWD is available when you want extra grip. AWD sends power to all four wheels, which helps when roads turn wet or wintry.
The efficiency tradeoff is small: the AWD gas model earns 24 city/30 hwy/26 combined mpg, compared with 25/33/28 for FWD. If your trip includes snow country or a rainy season, AWD is worth the couple of mpg. On sunny city streets and dry highways, FWD stretches each tank a little further.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Sportage
Get to know your Sportage
A little prep goes a long way: confirm the powertrain and trim, connect your phone, and plan around cargo space and electric range.
Start with the listing. Check whether the Sportage you're booking is gas, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid, and note the trim, since displays, the head-up display, and AWD vary.
Once you're in, pair your phone with wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto (on equipped trims) before you pull out. Curious about the rest of the lineup? You can explore every Kia model on Turo.
Sportage driving tips
Let the eight-speed automatic handle the shifting so you can focus on the road. If your Sportage has AWD, lean on it in wet weather — and still leave extra following distance.
Booked the plug-in hybrid? Plan your charging so you can use its 33-mile electric range on short trips. When you pack, keep the 39.6 cu ft behind the second row in mind, and fold the seats if you need more room.
How much does it cost to rent a Sportage?
Sportage prices on Turo depend on the listing, since local vehicle owners set their own rates. Recent example listings showed $62/day in Omaha and $71/day in Spring, Texas. Your price shifts with location, dates, trim, and trip length.
Booking for a week or more? Weekly and monthly discounts may apply. If you need a vehicle for a month or longer, look into long-term car rental on Turo.
