What's New on the 2023 Kia Sportage

Drivers are going to notice that the 2023 Sportage is a new generation model, which means it has a new platform, and this includes hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, which provides more diversity in the engine lineup and allows drivers to pick out efficient and quality rides from this lineup.

Performance

The default, gas-powered engine provides 187 horsepower on a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. With the hybrid options, you get a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine that is paired with a single electric motor to attain 226 horsepower combined. You can also add all-wheel drive to both, and with the plug-in hybrid options, you will find that it gives you a bigger battery pack for the electric motor.

In terms of the plug-in hybrid, it is estimated by Kia that it will be able to drive 34 miles on just electricity before needing a recharge, while fuel economy numbers for base gasoline engine models stand at 25 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway. For hybrids, it is 42 miles per gallon in the city and 44 miles per gallon on the highway.

Interior and Space

With the Kia Sportage, you are getting a five-passenger SUV with plenty of standout room and amenities onboard. Not only are you going to find two-tone interior options, but also everything is within reach. You and your passengers can spread out and you also have a rear cargo area of 39.6 cubic feet with the seats up and 74.1 cubic feet when you have the rear seats folded down. You even get a dual-level cargo floor for more versatility plus an automatic liftgate as well for easy access to the rear of the 2023 Kia Sportage.

Technology and Safety

Every new Kia Sportage comes with an eight-inch touch display, a digital gauge cluster, and the option to choose a 12.3-inch touchscreen. You will also find Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® available as well as Wi-Fi options, plus a premium sound system available to give you and your passengers the right fit to stay entertained and connected on the go.

With the Sportage, there are many safety and driver assistance features available too and you'll feel confident and secure.
