Electrifying Exploration: The 2024 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid

If you’re looking for a compact crossover SUV to power your morning commutes and weekend adventures, the 2024 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid stands out.

2024 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid Performance

Kia designed the Sportage Plug-In Hybrid to go wherever the day takes you. Under the hood, a 1.6L SmartStream Turbo engine mates with an electric motor in a plug-in hybrid powertrain that produces 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The powertrain pairs with active all-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic transmission in a system designed for smooth handling on all road surfaces.

Selectable multi-terrain drive modes, including Normal, Smart, Sport, and Snow, allow you to adjust performance easily based on changing terrain conditions or your driving style. When equipped with trailer brakes, a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs adds extra convenience, allowing you to tow light cargo or camper trailers across the town or up a trail.

Range to Go the Distance

The 2024 Sportage Plug-In Hybrid combines power with exceptional efficiency. Its EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 84 MPGe combined when driving in hybrid mode and 35 MPG when using the engine only translates to massive savings at the pump.

When you want to go far, a total range of 430 miles can give you peace of mind knowing you don’t have to plan many gas station stops along the route. Moreover, an EPA-estimated electric-only range of 34 miles can power your quick trips around the town with zero tailpipe emissions.

Luxe Interior Features

SynTex seating surfaces pair with stylish door and dash trims, enhancing the cabin’s visual appeal. A 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat comes standard for customized comfort, including 2-way lumbar adjustments. A panoramic sunroof also elevates your driving experience with gorgeous views of the outdoors.

Cutting-Edge Technologies
