Performance and Powertrain
The Sportage Hybrid pairs a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with an electric motor for 232 combined horsepower and 271 lb-ft of combined torque, sent through a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. That is a full parallel hybrid rather than a mild system, so the car can move on electricity alone at low speed and bring the engine in as the road demands. All-wheel drive with Terrain Mode is on this car, and Drive Mode Select lets the driver choose between Eco, Sport and MyDrive settings. The combination returns 35 mpg city, 36 highway and 35 combined.
Warranties include 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain and 5-year/60,000-mile basic. All warranties and roadside assistance are limited. See retailer for warranty details.
