After recently debuting the all-new fifth generation Sportage, Kia has unveiled an electrified version of the brand’s longest running nameplate at the Los Angeles Auto Show (LAAS). The 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid (HEV) is the third model in an ongoing cadence of eco-minded offerings guided by Kia’s global EV strategy, ‘Plan S.’ This newest Kia follows in the footsteps of the recently launched EV6 and the Sorento PHEV to serve as another example of Kia’s multiple pathways to electrification.Arriving early next year, the Sportage Hybrid will deliver an ideal mix of fuel efficiency and power along with an abundance of room for gear. Significantly larger than the previous generation Sportage, the Hybrid will allow owners to enjoy class-leading rear seat legroom and rear cargo capacity. The “Opposites United” design language employed on Sportage brings a bold blend of modern styling and sporty visual elements, while its interior offers the latest in technology, including an expansive list of ADAS features and dual panoramic display screens (12.3-inch instrument panel display and 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen display) for nearly 25 inches of viewing.This Sportage’s electrified performance comes from a seamless hybrid powertrain combining a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with a 44-kilowatt motor to achieve up to 39 mpg (targeted). Together, engine and motor make 226 horsepower channeled to either the front wheels or an active all-wheel-drive system. The result is a fuel-sipping compact SUV that delivers an engaging driving experience.
Production of the new Kia Sportage has officially started at the company's plant in Žilina, Slovakia. The fifth generation of the Sportage is the latest in a long series of Sportage which, since 2006, have been manufactured in Slovakia. In that period, more than two million units have been produced, satisfying the demand for the model for European customers.Now, for the first time in the 28-year history of the Sportage, a specific version has been designed, developed and optimized for European tastes. Based on a new architecture, the Sportage combines a sleek, yet modern and powerful exterior design with an avant-garde premium interior, including an integrated curved display with the latest advances in connectivity technology.Next-generation hybrid powertrains further enhance the Sportage's capabilities by dramatically reducing emissions and fuel consumption. An advanced hybrid version (HEV) is another first for the Sportage, in addition to a mild hybrid version (MHEV) and a new plug-in hybrid option (PHEV) *. The PHEV version gives priority to driving in electric mode, suitable for most daily commutes from home to work or for everyday shopping needs. Modern and clean internal combustion engines (ICE), gasoline and diesel, are available in various versions of efficiency, transmission and power. As proof of the advanced flexibility and modularity of the Kia plant in Slovakia, the Sportage's four powertrains - PHEV, HEV, MHEV and ICE - will be assembled in Žilina.
