I like running boards but adds to the weight and you will get even less MPG. So far in 600 miles, my 2026 SX-Prestige got about 34 MPG when strictly om highway. But when mostly regular street driving, only about 20 to 22 MPG. Front Wheel Drive.Just bought the hybrid SX Prestige. Loving it so far. Don't hate the dual climate / radio controls. Set it to default to climate and just toggle when wanting radio. You are right about the piano black plastic being hard to keep clean. Someone is selling vinyl covers with the buttons and dial cut out for a perfect fit on the center console. I might buy those if I can find them again. Mileage is a little disappointing as we are averaging 31.5 but only have 200 miles on it. Even so my wife found a way to pick up a nail and didn't get the tire warrantee (or any of the warranties the dealer was pushing). I think I read that this car comes with one of two different tires. We have the Goodyears. Would like to hear from someone who has replaced their original dealer tires with something else and if the ride, which is already outstanding, got even better. Never been a Goodyear fan. She also wants running boards (I don't know why). Her old small SUV had them. Any recommendations on which ones look good would be appreciated.
They must have!My 2026 Sportage Prestige has the folding/memory side mirrors. Did they just add that now?
Driving in eco, on both highway (70-75 mph) and back roads, I’m getting the advertised 38+ mpg with 522 miles so far. Which I’m amazed at. Although, I have been playing quite a bit with trying to keep it in EV which may end eventually (similar to stopping parking far away from everyone at the supermarket).I like running boards but adds to the weight and you will get even less MPG.

Sounds like you don’t have the hybrid? MPG is opposite - ICE gets better highway mileage, hybrid gets better city mileage.I like running boards but adds to the weight and you will get even less MPG.
