The outside gets all the attention, but the new Kia Sportage interior refresh is genuinely worth discussing. The redesigned dashboard and new two-spoke steering wheel give the cabin a cleaner, more driver-centric look.
Two-tone interior configurations are available on select trims, and the seat trim options cover a surprisingly wide range of materials and finishes.
| Seat Trim Name | Material | Available On |
|---|---|---|
| Saturn Black Woven Cloth | Woven cloth | LX |
| Perforated Saturn Black SynTex | Perforated SynTex | EX, SX |
| Perf. & Quilted Saturn Black SynTex | Perforated + quilted SynTex | X-Line, SX Prestige, X-Pro Prestige |
| Perforated Misty Gray SynTex | Perforated SynTex | EX |
| Perf. & Quilted Misty Gray SynTex | Perforated + quilted SynTex | SX Prestige |
| Perf. & Quilted Terracotta Brown SynTex | Perforated + quilted SynTex | X-Line |
| Perf. & Quilted Carmine Red SynTex | Perforated + quilted SynTex | SX, SX Prestige |
SynTex, for those unfamiliar, is Kia's synthetic leather material — it offers a premium feel and easier maintenance than traditional upholstery. Perforated versions improve breathability, and the quilted versions add an upscale, structured appearance to the seating surface.
The Terracotta Brown SynTex option on the X-Line pairs beautifully with Nebular Blue or Wolf Gray on the outside, adding a warm, earthy contrast to the cabin. Carmine Red SynTex on the SX and SX Prestige delivers that same bold interior energy in a sportier package
Ebony Black, Glacial White Pearl, and Panthera Metal are the strongest go-to choices for Sportage buyers because they're available across every trim level and hold strong resale appeal.
The Sportage's grays alone span four distinct personalities: glossy and deep with Panthera Metal, satin and luxurious with Panthera Metal Matte, edgy with Wolf Gray, and straightforward with Steel Gray.
Panthera Metal Matte is available on three trim levels: X-Line, SX Prestige, and X-Pro Prestige. It trades the standard gloss finish for a satin surface texture, giving the Sportage a more subdued but upscale appearance.
It's the same deep gray as the standard Panthera Metal, the distinction is entirely in how the surface interacts with light. If that look appeals to you, any of those three trims will get you there.
A color is the first thing people see, and the last thing you should settle on. Whether it's a glossy Ebony Black for a sharp everyday look, an eye-catching Nebular Blue for turning heads on I-95, or a Runway Red X-Pro Prestige with a two-tone roof that's hard to miss in any parking lot, there's a combination built for you.
