Three Things That Stand out About the New 2023 Kia Sportage

The 2023 Kia Sportage has been entirely reworked for the 2023 model year and it benefits from a number of characteristics that make it stand out from its competition.

The hybrid version

The 2023 Kia Sportage is one of the rare compact crossovers to offer a hybrid version. This model uses a 1.6L turbocharged engine combined with a six-speed automatic transmission and an electric motor in order to offer an impressive level of efficiency. Since it is entirely self-contained, the hybrid system of the Sportage doesn’t need to be plugged in to offer its maximum level of efficiency, which saves the driver from having to find a public charging station on long trips away from home to benefit from a lower fuel consumption than with the regular, gasoline-powered model.

The Design

The 2023 Kia Sportage adopts an entirely new design language that has never been seen before on a Kia vehicle. This new look makes the Sportage look fresh and dynamic as well as making it instantly recognizable from all angles. The distinctive boomerang-shaped LED strips on the front also make it easy to identify the new Sportage even at night. The X-Line and X-Line Limited models are also easy to spot due to their various black accents all around the outside and their unique grille that gives a more rugged and adventurous look.

The high level of customisability

The 2023 Kia Sportage offers a vast choice of trim levels, options, and colours in order to let everyone find the perfect combination. With six levels of equipment to choose from, buyers are guaranteed to find the perfect Sportage for their needs and their tastes. In addition, six paint colours are offered on every version, one is available only on the X-Line and X-Line limited models and an eight one is reserved for this last trim level. Choosing the EX Premium or X-Line Limited models also gives the possibility to choose a red or green leather interior to add another touch of distinction to the 2023 Sportage.
