Just bought a new Kia Sportage LX last week and noticed after I drive it and it is parked in my garage, that the whole house smells like gasoline! Any suggestions? Is this normal for a new car?

Not normal.
The car may be leaking fuel. Or, it was overfilled and spilled over the gas cap.
If you see no puddle under, vent the house properly and move the car outside. If you see a puddle call your local fire dept. They'll be the best people to help you sort the imminent danger.

For your, and your family's safety I'd park it outside until you can get it checked by the dealership.

Please update your profile detail, ......at least location and vehicle (year & model).
