The Kia Sportage, now in its fifth generation, has a history dating back to 1993, but the plug-in hybrid model only debuted in 2023. Available in two trims (X-Line and X-Line Prestige), the 2024 Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid is an eco-friendly car with lots of compelling features. What will you love about it?
1. Sophisticated Exterior Design
The first thing anyone notices about the Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) is surely its futuristic, bold exterior. It’s sleek yet muscular, with an imposing front grille that gives it a presence on any road. A sloping roofline with discreet roof rails adds to the streamlined aesthetic and leads to a rear spoiler.
2. High-Performance Powertrain
The all-important hybrid powertrain doesn’t disappoint in the 2024 Kia Sportage PHEV. Whether you opt for the X-Line or X-Line Prestige, you get the same 1.6 L four-cylinder T-GDI engine, a 66.9 kW permanent magnet traction electric motor, and a 13.8 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack. The battery allows an all-electric range of 32 miles, so you can run this vehicle like a full EV for purposes like daily commutes.
A total system power of up to 261 hp with 258 lb-ft of max torque gives drivers ample power in the responsive Sportage PHEV. It’s quick to accelerate and can tow up to 2,000 lbs with trailer brakes. A six-speed automatic transmission executes smooth gear changes. In terms of fuel efficiency, the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid achieves up to 84 MPGe, or 35 mpg in hybrid mode.
3. Cutting-Edge Interior
Inside the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid, the carefully crafted cabin blends premium, luxurious materials with the latest technology and many enticing features. Among the latter are a panoramic sunroof, a 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, LED interior lighting, and dual-zone climate control.
4. Dual Panoramic Displays
Among the Sportage’s many interior features, 12.3″ dual panoramic displays provide an impressive focal point. They include a digital instrument panel and an infotainment touchscreen with navigation, Kia Connect, and SiriusXM satellite radio built in. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are supported.
5. Kia Drive Wise Driver Assistance Technologies
A wide array of driver assistance technologies is installed in the Kia Sportage to help keep passengers safe at all times. Among them are Auto Emergency Braking with Cyclist Detection, Blind Spot Detection Technology, and Lane Keeping & Following Assist Technology.
6. Remote Smart Parking Assist (X-Line Prestige)
An amazing technology in the X-Line Prestige is Remote Smart Parking Assist, which automatically controls the steering wheel, vehicle speed, and gear shifting to assist the driver with perpendicular or parallel reverse parking. This feature is usable from inside or outside the vehicle.
