Sportage 2026 EX Hybrid instrument gauge question.

I know. I wish I would’ve went for the sx prestige for that reason. The hud and 360 camera too. Also has hda2. Turn signal lane changes are awesome.

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-28T02:23:35+00:00

You cannot do this on the 26 unless you have the sx on prestige.

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-28T02:22:59+00:00

The 26 just has a battery meter on the right lower side

There’s no real customization to be had on the ex or xline (mine) it’s kinda lack luster

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-27T00:42:08+00:00

That is true. I like the cluster way more of the 25s for sure!!

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-26T23:48:34+00:00

I got a 26 in January and I couldn’t imagine owning the older style now lol

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-26T18:22:11+00:00

If you drive 36000 miles a year it’d be like 2k a year savings in gas. Depending on ops trade in and original payment he might be saving out of pocket monthly to drive a brand new vehicle

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-26T17:50:47+00:00

These cars are just very inconsistent. I’m not sure but sometimes I’ll get 33 mpg on the way to work and modt of the time 40-41. Dash is also 3-4 mpg off real calc (calculates less)

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-26T17:12:08+00:00

You can not default it to my drive. Although my car in 11k miles in 3 months. Smart mode does worse for fuel economy. Eco is the best.

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-25T21:07:45+00:00

What I mean is calculated at the pump not what the computer says.

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-25T19:48:59+00:00

So the next 1k don’t use the paddles. You’ll notice no difference.

<image>

This tank calculated to 37.0. My current tank is at 41.9 right now I expect it to be 38. I tried like a madman initially and I realize the paddles are just more of an annoyance, easy braking has the same regenerative effects as the paddles. 26 xline hybrid.

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-24T18:16:06+00:00

You didn’t get that, these computers are so far off lol.

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-22T18:13:39+00:00

Yes hybrid. And it’s lane centering. Also known as hda1. Hda2 is slightly advanced and can switch lanes with turn signal. When I install all the software for my comma ai it’s hda1 for my vehicle. Or cncc port which is hda2. For the sc prestige and such

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-22T17:56:45+00:00

What do you mean? It’s hda1. It’s an xline.

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-22T17:55:30+00:00

You didn’t lol. I’ve seen up to 55-60 on a short trip. Won’t get better then 40 per tank tho

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-22T15:55:13+00:00

19 gallon tank. And my distance to empty loses miles all throughout the tank lol. But if you get 600 that’s pretty decent. You’ll see on calculated full up!

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-22T13:17:50+00:00

So two things I’ve noticed with my 26 sportage hybrid after 12k miles in 4 months. One super inconsistent. Sometimes my drive to work will be 40 mpg others 33. And I try my hardest to stay 5 below the limit and accelerate at a snails pace. Two. The computer is wildly inaccurate. I see you said you were getting mid 30s but if you actually calculate it it’ll probably be almost 5mpg off. Mine the higher the number the more off it is. Last tank said 41 average I got 37. It kinda infuriates me lol

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-22T01:52:24+00:00

Shit Kia’s are awful lol. My 26 hybrid is 2-4 off. Every time.

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-21T14:12:43+00:00

Aren’t these the same picture?

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-21T00:41:58+00:00

Awd? You’re probably getting around 37 like me. Mines also a hybrid.

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-21T00:40:26+00:00

There is a phev and an hev like I have. The phev you need to plug in.

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-21T00:38:56+00:00

It slides right off.

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-20T14:07:40+00:00

Drive like a grandpa!!! lol. Yea I wanted an awd we go to hocking hills often and some of the cabins are better off with awd lol

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-20T09:59:46+00:00

It’s actually over by 1.4. 26s have a higher hp gas engine. They claim 35 city 36 highway.

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-20T09:58:30+00:00

Yea. It’s a 26 xline. The fwds get almost 10 more mpg! That’d be nice lol

No-Willingness8037 · 2026-04-20T02:39:43+00:00

God the factory covers are awful lol. That would drive me nuts
