Kia Sportage

Kia has confirmed the pricing on its hybrid crossover, the 2023 Sportage HEV. An entry-level front-wheel drive version starts at $27,290. The entry-level version is the Sportage HEV LX, and at that $27,000 price tag, it’s offered only with front-wheel-drive.

For 2023, the Kia Sportage compact SUV has grown larger and promises more capability with plenty of room for cargo and passengers. One of the only unknown elements about the new Sportage was its cost, and Kia has now revealed prices for all trim levels.

Kia is at the LA Auto Show and has revealed the 2023 Sportage Hybrid crossover. The hybrid version is based on the completely redesigned Sportage that launched in October.  The compact crossover uses a 1.6-liter turbo engine paired with a 44-kilowatt motor making a combined 226 horsepower, and  Buyers can opt for the Sportage Hybrid in either front-wheel drive or with active all-wheel-drive.

Automaker Kia has officially revealed its redesigned fifth-generation Sportage compact SUV. Kia has used a new and more organic design for the SUV that it says gives it a bold and sophisticated look. Whatever fancy language Kia wants to use to describe the design of its vehicle, it is extremely attractive.

There’s a huge market out there for small SUVs and crossovers, so it only stands to reason that just about every automaker has an entry in this space these days. While I haven’t driven every SUV for the latest model year, the 2017 Kia Sportage SX Turbo is my favorite so far.

Kia recently brought us out to San Diego to drive the all-new 2017 Kia Sportage and experience all that is new and improved with their popular compact crossover. It’s hard to believe, but the Sportage is Kia Motors America’s longest-running nameplate, dating back to 1994 when the Korean automaker first entered the US market.
