5 Reasons the 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid Stands Out

With a history dating back to 1993, the Kia Sportage has evolved considerably over the years, and it’s been Kia’s top-selling car globally since 2016. Now in its fifth generation, this compact crossover SUV is available in hybrid form, and there are compelling reasons to take a closer look. The 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid is loaded with standout features that make it one of the leading vehicles in its class.

1. Ample Choice

The Kia Sportage Hybrid is available in FWD or AWD versions. As you might expect, the FWD model is slightly more fuel efficient, offering up to 44 mpg efficiency during highway driving. The Sportage is also available as a plug-in hybrid, which gives you an all-electric range of up to 34 miles. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid models share many outstanding benefits. The standard Sportage Hybrid is available in three trim levels: LX, EX, and SX Prestige.

2. Blend of Power and Economy

Few hybrid SUVs strike the balance between economy and power as well as the Sportage does. The Kia Sportage Hybrid is fitted at all trim levels with a 1.6L Turbo Hybrid Powertrain, delivering up to 227 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The plug-in hybrid is more potent still with a 261 hp powertrain. Three selectable drive modes alter the driving characteristics of the car to suit conditions and your driving style.

3. Great Looks

Revamped in 2023, the Kia Sportage Hybrid certainly stands out visually. The front is striking with a dark grille and cool boomerang headlights, while the sleek roof, strong haunches, and bold curves give it a futuristic air. A longer wheelbase and greater breadth than pre-2023 models give a clue as to the car’s generous capacity, which remains an asset in 2024.

4. Legroom and Space

Space is one of the Kia Sportage Hybrid’s great assets. It offers 41.3″ of 2nd-row legroom, so your friends and family won’t suffer cramps during long journeys. There’s also a roomy 39.5 cu ft of rear cargo space, which expands to 73.7 cu ft if you put the 2nd-row seats down. On top of this class-leading interior space, the car’s soft upholstery and wide armrests add to passenger comfort.

5. Excellent Safety Features

The award-winning Kia Sportage doesn’t hold back on safety features. A comprehensive passive safety system is backed up by active safety tech like Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), Electronic Stability Control, Hill Start Assist Control, Downhill Brake Control, and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Many “Kia Drive Wise” driver assist technologies are also safety-oriented, and all trims have a good selection of those.
