The all-new 2023 Sportage Hybrid will be the Sportage model to get thanks to its more powerful and yet more efficient engine!
Class-Leading Power Numbers
Although the 187-hp standard 2023 Kia Sportage is still a powerful vehicle, the hybrid's 40 extra horsepower are a welcome upgrade. It's not just about the numbers but the way the power is delivered. We don't expect the Sportage Hybrid to feel noticeably quicker than the standard Sportage. If you scoff at the value of 0-60 times on a sensible compact SUV, consider its value the next time you want a quick burst of speed to pass a big truck on the highway.
With gas prices skyrocketing, The 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid AWD comes in at 6.1L/100km, about even with the 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and 2022 Honda CR-V hybrid but, the Kia's combination of a 1.6-liter turbo I-4 and electric motor results in a class-leading 227 hp!
Better Highway Driving
A significant advantage of the hybrid power delivery system is the way the powertrain quiets the engine. While not as noisy as a RAV4, the standard Sportage does make some noise as its engine gets you up to speed. That's not as much of an issue on the hybrid, which is more hushed on the highway.
