The plug-in hybrid Sportage is a practical car that needs a bit more fine-tuning.
2024 Kia Sportage PHEV review: a practical and stylish plug-in hybrid MSRP $45,485.00 Score Details “The Sportage works well as a plug-in hybrid, but its interior and chassis tuning need improvement.
2024 Kia Sportage PHEV: design With the current-generation Sportage, Kia took more styling risks than most rivals. Designers gave the Sportage an alien-looking face defined by diamond-shaped headlights, boomerang-like daytime running lights, and a dual-level grille that nicely camouflages how broad the front end actually is.
2024 Kia Sportage PHEV: specs 2024 Kia Sportage PHEV: tech All Sportage PHEV models have a 12.3-inch touchscreen, while the higher-level X-Line Prestige adds a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that blends with the touchscreen to form one long, curved display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, but wireless versions aren’t available.
2024 Kia Sportage PHEV: driving experience Like the Sportage Hybrid, the Sportage PHEV has a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine under its hood that’s connected to a six-speed automatic transmission with an integrated electric motor. But that motor makes 89.7 horsepower, compared to 59.3 hp in the standard hybrid. The battery pack is also bigger, at 13.8 kilowatt-hours, up from the standard hybrid’s 1.4 kWh.
2024 Kia Sportage PHEV: EV range, charging, and gas mileage The Sportage PHEV manages up to 34 miles of all-electric range, which is a bit short of the 42 miles offered by the Toyota RAV4 Prime, but in line with other competitors. It’s also easy to make use of that range. The gasoline engine will turn on under a heavy foot, but it’s not on a hair trigger. The electric motor also provides enough power to keep the Sportage moving at moderate speeds without sluggish acceleration.
2024 Kia Sportage PHEV: How DT would configure this car Kia only offers the Sportage PHEV in X-Line and X-Line Prestige specs, but you’ll need to upgrade to the latter to get the full array of driver aids and the curved dashboard display. An upgraded Harman Kardon audio system is standard on the X-Line Prestige as well.
