GO
Your vehicle has one job: to keep you moving forward. With most hybrids, improved fuel economy is expected. However, the Kia Sportage Hybrid goes further by reaching new levels of efficiency without dialing back the thrill. Behind the wheel, you’ll experience spirited performance that moves you in more ways than one, while making less of an impact on the environment.
Purpose Meets the Pavement
The Sportage Hybrid delivers a class-leading 232 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque from its full parallel hybrid system. Every model features a 1.6L Turbocharged 4-cylinder gas engine paired with two electric motors and a 6-speed automatic transmission for confident acceleration and seamless shifting.
It comes standard with front-wheel drive and three selectable drive modes—Eco, Sport, and MyDrive—that adjust throttle response and shift patterns based on your driving style. Active all-wheel drive is available above the base LX trim and adds specialized Terrain Modes for Snow, Mud, and Sand, so you’re ready for whatever lies ahead.
More Miles, Less Compromise
Of course, one of the biggest perks of driving a hybrid is fuel efficiency and having the freedom to go longer between pit stops. Whether you opt for front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the Kia Sportage Hybrid is designed to keep you moving.

All-Wheel Drive | 35 city/36 hwy MPG* |
Thanks to regenerative braking, the energy used to slow down is recycled. It’s captured, converted into electricity, and stored to help power the battery, boosting range and reducing reliance on the gas engine.The Sportage Hybrid’s gas-electric blend provides confidence for the long haul.
FLOW
Even the design of the Kia Sportage Hybrid signals forward motion. No matter which of its five trims you choose, it features a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette that looks like it’s in motion, even at a standstill. Inside, the cabin offers a spacious, highly versatile layout that redefines contemporary sophistication. The result is harmony on wheels, all within a footprint that’s easy to handle and made to move with you.
Styled to Stand Out
The Sportage Hybrid’s exterior makes an immediate impression with vertical LED projector headlights and taillights, complemented by signature amber daytime running lights. Standard 17-inch wheels (with 18- and 19-inch options) and a sleek shark fin antenna give it a confident, modern stance. Available roof rails boost both versatility and visual appeal, adding to this Kia’s adventure-ready aesthetic.
For those who want a bolder look with elevated capability, the athletic X-Line trim showcases exactly that. Along with exclusive interior colors, it stands out with:
- A distinctive grille and Gloss Black fascia
- Black badging and exterior accents
- 19-inch Gloss Black wheels
- High-utility roof rails
Together, these elements create an SUV that looks as capable as it feels, ready to turn heads wherever you go.
Built for Real Life
When you command an SUV like the Kia Sportage Hybrid, it needs to be family- and adventure-ready. The Sportage Hybrid is spacious enough to handle car seats, hiking gear, and grocery runs, and durable enough to withstand muddy shoes (or paws), drippy juice boxes, and cracker crumbs ground into the floor mats.
With cloth or resilient available SynTex upholstery, those messes wipe away with ease. Add in available features like a 10-way power driver’s seat, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats, and everyone on board will stay comfortable, no matter the season.
Beyond comfort features, the Sportage Hybrid boasts class-leading rear legroom and cargo room.

39.6/39.1 in. | 41.4/41.3 in. | 73.7/39.5 cu. ft. |
Adding to its versatility is a standard dual-level cargo floor with hidden storage space, perfect for stashing valuables, keeping gear out of sight, and making the most of every square inch.
KNOW
Like most Americans, you rely on technology every day to juggle calendars, stay in touch with family and friends, and enjoy your favorite playlists, podcasts, or audiobooks. But when you’re behind the wheel, you want smart tech that works with you, not against you. The Kia Sportage Hybrid includes intuitive infotainment and intelligent safety systems designed to enhance your awareness while helping you stay effortlessly connected and confidently protected.
Command and Connect
Every mile is more enjoyable when you can tune in to the sights, sounds, and stories that keep you informed, engaged, and entertained. The Sportage Hybrid’s available Dual Panoramic Display, spanning over 24 inches of digital real estate, acts as your command center for navigation, driving information, media, and more. Enhancing your experience are these standard and available features:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
- Hands-free voice control
- Wireless charging
- Harman Kardon® Premium Audio system
And for added convenience, the available Digital Key 2.0 lets you use your smartphone to lock, unlock, and start your vehicle. You can even share access with up to three others when you’re splitting driving duties or lending the car to family.
Confidence Comes Standard
Of all the in-vehicle technology features, none matter more than the ones that help protect you and your passengers. Kia takes your safety as seriously as you do, which is why the Sportage Hybrid comes equipped with a standard suite of advanced driver-assistance systems that serve as a vigilant, virtual copilot, including:
- Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go
- Auto Emergency Braking with Pedestrian, Cyclist, Car, and Junction Turning Detection
- Lane Departure Warning/Lane Keeping & Following Assist
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Driver Attention Warning with Leading Vehicle Departure Alert
Once you’ve reached your destination, the standard Rear Occupant Alert reminds you to check the back seat, so nothing and no one gets left behind. Available upgrades take safety even further, like the Surround View Monitor with a 360-degree aerial view for easier parking, and Highway Driving Assist 2, which helps maintain a set speed and distance on the open road.
And with Kia’s industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, including coverage for the Sportage Hybrid’s battery, you gain the one thing every driver deserves behind the wheel: peace of mind.
Kia Sportage Hybrid vs. The Competition
The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid aims to compete with the Kia Sportage Hybrid in terms of capability, tech, and space, but the Sportage Hybrid takes the lead across the board. With four more cubic feet of cargo room, you can pack extra carry-ons, a week’s worth of groceries, or that last-minute cooler and folding chairs, because real life doesn’t pack light.**
Sportage Hybrid | vs | RAV4 Hybrid |

232 HP | STANDARD NET HORSEPOWER | 219 HP |
12.3 in. | STANDARD TOUCHSCREEN SIZE | 8 in. |
73.7 cu. ft. | MAX CARGO VOLUME | 69.8 cu. ft. |
While fuel economy often tops the list for hybrid shoppers, comfort matters too. With better efficiency and more stylish exterior features than the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, the Kia Sportage Hybrid delivers on both fronts. Add in Kia’s class-leading warranty, and it's clear that, when it comes to standing behind their hybrid, Kia simply goes further. **

With more cargo space, greater towing capability, and no need to change your fueling routine, the Kia Sportage Hybrid fits your lifestyle, not the other way around. From everyday errands to last-minute weekend getaways, confidence comes standard with the Kia Sportage Hybrid—and no plugs required.**
