Trims and Pricing

The 2023 Hybrid model is available in two trims. You’ll be able to purchase the HEV EX and the HEV SX. Pricing starts at $36,495.

Engine and Performance

The Sportage’s combustion engine recharges the battery so you can forget any range anxiety (as with fully electric vehicles (EVs). All you need to do to keep your SUV running smoothly is to fill it up with fuel from time to time. The 2023 HEV has a 1.6L combustion engine configured with a battery pack.

Your HEV SUV will use substantially less fuel, and you can expect an average EVA of 16 kilometres per litre. Tested under controlled conditions, this alignment can produce a maximum power of 227 horsepower, which is slightly better than the HEV Sportage’s direct competitors in this segment.

Interior and Exterior

The dashboard is very modern and tech-focused, with many toys to keep everyone sufficiently entertained. You’ll also get enough space to seat all your passengers comfortably. The exterior includes roof rails for extra cargo and 43.18cm alloy wheels.

All seats are covered in faux leather, and the front seats and steering wheel are heated. The EX trim has a six-speaker sound system and air conditioning.
