All the 2026 Kia Sportage Colors Revealed: Here’s What’s New
The 2026 Kia Sportage is here, and so is its brand-new color lineup. With returning favorites, an exciting new shade, and one major farewell, there’s more than just performance to talk about.
Vesta Blue and Dawning Red are officially gone, but in their place, Kia is leaning into cooler, bolder, more refined tones for the modern SUV driver. Whether you’re all about standing out or prefer subtle sophistication, the 2026 Sportage paint palette brings something for everyone.
Let’s dive into each color, what it brings to the table, and which trim it’s available on.
New for 2026: Say Hello to Heritage Blue
The biggest reveal in this year’s color palette is Heritage Blue, a clean, confident shade that walks the line between modern and timeless. Think of it as the deeper, more grown-up cousin of last year’s Vesta Blue (which, by the way, is now gone).
This hue brings a premium feel without being flashy, and it looks especially striking under sunlight with the Sportage’s bold body lines. It’s available on LX, EX, and EX Premium trims.
Wolf Gray
Mood: Modern, sharp, bold
Best for: Urban explorers who want style without excess
Wolf Gray is a new addition to the 2026 lineup—a cool-toned neutral that feels high-end and fresh. Not quite silver, not quite white, it adds an edge to the Sportage’s design and pairs beautifully with gloss black trim and dark wheels.
Available on LX, EX, EX Premium, X-Line, and X-Line Limited.
Gravity Grey
Mood: Understated, clean, always in style
Best for: Drivers who want “set-it-and-forget-it” elegance
Gravity Grey returns from 2025 and remains one of the most versatile color options. It hides dirt well, gives off a premium vibe, and fits with nearly every trim and feature package. It continues to be a smart choice for long-term ownership and resale.
Available on all trims.
Jungle Green (X-Line Exclusive)
Mood: Rugged, bold, off-road ready
Best for: Adventure-seeking drivers who want a distinctive look
Jungle Green is back, but now exclusive to the X-Line and X-Line Limited trims. It’s a deep, earthy tone made to match the bold nature of the Sportage’s off-road-inspired trims. If you’re looking to make a statement while staying trail-capable, this is it.
Available only on X-Line and X-Line Limited.
Steel Grey
Mood: Practical, versatile, polished
Best for: Drivers who prefer a subtle, low-maintenance exterior
Steel Grey is the steady, reliable classic in the Sportage lineup. It’s clean, simple, and tends to look great even after a few weeks without a wash. It continues to be a go-to choice for drivers focused on practicality and timelessness.
Available on LX, EX, EX Premium, X-Line, and X-Line Limited.
Snow White Pearl
Mood: Bright, elegant, premium
Best for: Drivers who want standout style with upscale flair
Snow White Pearl adds a shimmering finish that enhances the Sportage’s sharp angles and modern curves. It’s a consistent top pick among buyers who want an elegant SUV without stepping into luxury brand territory.
Available on all trims.
Fusion Black
Mood: Sleek, bold, classic
Best for: Drivers who prefer an aggressive, monochromatic look
Fusion Black remains one of the most requested shades across Kia’s entire lineup. It’s polished, stealthy, and gives the Sportage a striking, upscale appearance—especially with black accents and sport wheels.
Available on all trims.
