- LX Trim Upgrades: The optional LX Popular Package was upgraded to include a standard touchscreen display and a rearview backup camera.
- EX Trim Upgrades: Received standard leather seating surfaces, proximity keyless entry, and push-button start. (Note: The premium Infinity audio system and UVO telematics moved to the optional Premium Package).
- SX Trim Upgrades: Gained a standard panoramic sunroof and ventilated front seats.
- HECU Short Circuit & Fire Recall: The 2016 Sportage is included in the major Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) recall. An internal electrical short circuit in the HECU module can cause a sudden engine compartment fire, even while the vehicle is turned off and parked. Kia officially advises owners to park vehicles outside and away from structures until a dealership installs a lower-amperage fuse to eliminate the hazard.
- Severe Piston Ring Wear & High Oil Consumption: Owners frequently report excessive oil consumption. According to a JustAnswer automotive summary, this commonly stems from prematurely worn piston rings or carbon buildup in the combustion chamber. If left unmonitored, the engine can experience oil starvation and seize while driving.
- Knock Sensor Software (KSDS) & Bearings: The Theta II engines in these models fall under an extended warranty campaign due to manufacturing debris that causes catastrophic rod bearing failure. Affected vehicles must have the Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS) software installed, which forces the car into a low-speed “limp home” mode if it detects internal engine knocking.
