The 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid excels in every category, from its comfortable ride to its impressive standard tech and advanced safety features. And it’s ultra-efficient in more ways than one, with innovative technology and design improving fuel economy and reducing waste and emissions.
1. Powerful and Fuel-Efficient Hybrid System
The Sportage Hybrid harnesses the latest hybrid technology in its 1.6-liter turbocharged hybrid motor system, blending outstanding fuel economy with best-in-class 227 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. This system relies on its electric motor when quick acceleration isn’t needed and utilizes the turbo gasoline engine when it is. And regenerative braking captures energy from the vehicle’s deceleration to recharge the battery for greater efficiency.
Standard front-wheel drive models achieve an EPA-estimated 43 MPG combined, while all-wheel drive models offer a fuel-sipping 38 MPG. The Sportage Hybrid’s 6-speed auto transmission and up to 4 selectable drive modes work together to optimize efficiency and acceleration.
2. Spacious Cabin
Its cabin size makes the Sportage Hybrid a standout in its class, featuring class-leading rear legroom and cargo space. With comfortable seating for five, plus 39.5 cu. ft. of cargo room behind the rear seats, you can bring more people and luggage in just one vehicle, reducing fuel costs and emissions. And when you need to carry even more gear, the Sportage Hybrid offers several options.
To carry up to 73.7 cu. ft. of cargo inside the cabin, you can simply fold the 60/40 split rear seats flat. Additional storage under the cargo floor means you can keep valuables out of sight. Available roof rails create more storage on top of your Sportage Hybrid, and a towing capacity of up to 2,000 lbs. expands your carrying capabilities even further.
3. Class-Leading Warranty Protection
Your Sportage Hybrid is built with efficient and durable parts that are made to last, protected by a best-in-class 10-year/100,000-mile (whichever comes first) powertrain warranty. Your hybrid battery is also covered for the same period, but its expected lifespan is even longer: between 10 and 20 years. And when lithium-ion hybrid batteries do reach the end of their lifespan, they can be recycled.
4. LED Headlights and Taillights
While the Sportage Hybrid’s standard LED projector headlights and taillights have some obvious benefits, like making it easier to see and be seen on the road, you might not realize that they also add to the Sportage Hybrid’s efficiency. Compared with halogen lights, LEDs use significantly less power. They also last much longer before needing to be replaced, creating less waste.
