2023 Model Redesign Year

The Sportage plug-in hybrid takes the regular hybrid version a step further. It uses a 1.6-liter turbo engine, an electric drive, and a larger battery than the regular hybrid. It is EPA rated at 34 miles of electric range before transitioning to regular hybrid operation, in which it gets 31 mpg overall in our tests. It is quite easy to remain in electric power during urban and suburban drives. For high power demands, the gas engine kicks in. It takes about two and a half hours to charge the battery on 240-volt, and can also be done on regular 120-volt overnight.

Other aspects mirror the Sportage line with a firm, steady, and comfortable ride, responsive and secure handling, and a relatively quiet cabin. The rear seat is roomy, and the cargo area is generous for the class. Most controls are easy to use, though the touch-capacitive panel for climate and media systems is annoying and the rotary gear selector takes some getting used to.

2023 Model Redesign Year

The Sportage plug-in hybrid takes the regular hybrid version a step further. It uses a 1.6-liter turbo engine, an electric drive, and a larger battery than the regular hybrid. It is rated at 34 miles of electric propulsion before transitioning to regular hybrid operation, in which it gets 31 mpg overall in our tests. It is quite easy to remain in electric power during urban and suburban drives. For high power demands, the gas engine kicks in. It takes about two and a half hours to charge the battery on 240-volt, and can also be done on regular 120-volt overnight.

Other aspects mirror the Sportage line with a firm, steady, and comfortable ride, responsive and secure handling, and a relatively quiet cabin. The rear seat is roomy, and the cargo area is generous for the class. Controls are mostly easy to use. AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, LKA, LDW, LCA, BSW, and RCTW are standard.
