New 2023 Kia Sportage (GT Line) - Plug-in Hybrid SUV!

This is the all-new 2023 Kia Sportage GT LinePlug-in Hybrid (PHEV) SUV. Checkout its interior, exterior, features and drive in this video.

The 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid will soon join the compact SUV’s gasoline and hybrid variants in the United States. Kia had confirmed in an announcement on February 8, 2022, that it plans to launch the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid in the country in Q3 2022 (July-September 2022). Here’s everything we know about the America-bound plug-in hybrid electric SUV:

Design & Interior:

The 2023 Kia Sportage, including the PHEV detailed in this story, is the fifth generation of the compact SUV and has a fully redesigned exterior. Kia created the fifth-gen Sportage based on its new “Opposites United” design philosophy. The latest model may not look all that different from the sides, but its front and rear, in stark contrast to the simplistic sides, are bold and striking. Kia says rugged, sheer forms offset smooth, soft surfaces on the new model.

The Kia Sportage PHEV comes in two trim levels: X-Line PHEV AWD and X-Line Prestige PHEV AWD. X-Line styling cues include unique bumpers with a satin chrome surround; mirrors, roof rack, window surrounds in gloss black; and 19-inch, gloss-black alloy wheels.

The tiger-nose grille of the Sportage has become more technical with floating design, resting above a blacked-out grille graphic that covers the whole width of the front fascia. Vertical headlamps with dramatically-angled, boomerang-shaped DRLs flank the mammoth radiator grille. At the rear, the Sportage’s new identity is “notch-shaped” tail lights, connected by a thin black graphic in a subtle manner.

The interior of the fifth-gen Sportage, inspired by high-end outdoor products, furniture, and modern architecture, offers pleasant living space on wheels. The dashboard carries a more elegant design, and so does the center console. Plus, there’s a new dual curved display that seamlessly connects a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This panel makes the interior look upscale compared to that of the fourth-gen model.

The X-Line Prestige plug-in hybrid will be the range-topping configuration in the 2023 Kia Sportage line-up, packing all its high-end features.

Specifications:

Like the Hybrid variant, the 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid employs a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine (177 hp/195 lb.-ft.), but with a 66.9 kW motor and a 13.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. A 6-speed automatic transmission transmits the power, and an AWD system is standard.

The battery pack, located under the vehicle floor, charges with a 7.2 kW onboard charger with what Kia claims to be a leading power density of 1.53 kW/l. Fully charging the 13.8 kWh battery pack using a Level-2 charger takes about two hours.

Considering the specifications of the sister model, the 2022 Hyundai Tucson PHEV, the Sportage in EV mode should cover over 30 miles (EPA est.). The fuel consumption rating may also be around 80 MPGe (EPA est.). EPA fuel economy ratings for the Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid will be out closer to the on-sale date.

Kia will sell the 2023 Sportage Plug-in Hybrid in the U.S. in X-Line and X-Line Prestige trims. The 2023 Kia Sportage plug in hybrid will compete with the Hyundai Tucson plug in hybrid, Toyota RAV4 Prime, and Ford Escape plug in hybrid.

The first-ever Sportage Plug-in Hybrid in America could cost around USD 35,000 onwards.
