Overview

Written by automotive expert Clint Simone

12/19/2023

As you can discern from its name, the 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid is the hybrid-powered version of the brand's compact SUV. But there's a lot more to it than just that. Sure, the hybrid version of the Sportage gets better fuel economy. But it also makes more power, is quicker to accelerate, and doesn't make any compromises to storage or drivability. Put simply, this smooth-and-stylish SUV is one of the best small SUVs you can buy in 2024.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Great

8.4

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8/10

How does the Sportage Hybrid drive? The Sportage Hybrid is one of the quickest hybrid crossovers in its class. While we wouldn't call it blistering, it doesn't feel like there's a performance penalty when you opt for the hybrid. The turbocharged engine provides smooth power, and you don't feel when the SUV transitions from electric to gas power. Passing on the highway is easy thanks to the power and a quick-shifting transmission.

It's not sporty, but the Sportage Hybrid handles well enough for a crossover. The steering is quick and accurate, which is helpful for both parking and highway stability, though it doesn't give you much feel for the road. As with the powertrain, the brakes are impressive for a hybrid. The pedal is firm rather than soft and spongy like on some other hybrid vehicles, and that helps out with consistent and smooth stopping.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Sportage Hybrid? Comfort is one of the Sportage Hybrid's strong suits. The front seats are soft and offer good lateral support without feeling overly tight. The rear seat is well padded but a bit flat. What's really impressive is the ride quality. It's smooth and compliant. The suspension evens out bumps, but it doesn't feel overly soft or disconnected from the road. It's one of the best-riding crossovers around today.

Kia made it quiet too. At low speeds when the engine is off, only a little outside noise makes it way into the cabin. Even at higher speeds, wind and road noise is mild. We also like that you don't feel vibrations or hear the gas engine fire up every time since it's not a particularly pleasant exhaust note. The automatic climate control system can be a bit odd to use at first (you switch a panel between climate and media/navigation controls) but it works evenly. Vent placement is good, too, especially in the rear.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The Sportage Hybrid's driving position offers a decent range of adjustment for the seat and steering wheel, and there's excellent passenger space in both rows, even for taller adults. It's also fairly easy to get in and out of, aided further by the available Smart Park feature, even if it's a bit of a novelty.

The controls are easy to reach and fairly straightforward to use, at least once you find the switch that swaps the climate controls for the media and navigation controls. The infotainment screen and other controls are angled toward the driver, so nothing is a stretch to push or operate. The mirrors and windows afford decent visibility, helped out by the available blind-spot camera system. The available heated windshield should help in colder climates too.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? Kia offers loads of in-car tech and driver aids with the Sportage Hybrid. Standard features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (though neither connects to your phone wirelessly) and a modern-looking housing that integrates a digital instrument panel and center touchscreen. Our test vehicle was equipped with the upsized 12.3-inch center touchscreen. The bigger screen comes with an onboard navigation system that is straightforward to operate, and you can use voice commands to input directions or change radio stations.

The Sportage Hybrid is available with loads of driver aids, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning, a surround-view monitor and parking assist. We like how it all works in practice. The adaptive cruise holds consistent gaps from the vehicle ahead without constantly tapping the brakes, and we didn't have any false alerts with any of the collision systems. Smart Park will pull the SUV out of or into a parking spot from the key fob. It's a neat party trick.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? Here's where the Sportage Hybrid really excels. With 39.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and 73.7 cubes with that row folded down, the Sportage Hybrid is one of the most spacious crossovers in this class. Unlike some of its rivals, the Sportage Hybrid loses no space relative to its non-hybrid counterpart. The load floor is wide and flat, and the rear seats can be folded down from the hatch area. The rear seats have LATCH car seat anchors and are spacious enough for larger child safety seats.

Storage in the rest of the cabin is excellent too. The center console has a small lidded bin in front of the shifter that houses USB ports and an available wireless charging pad, though it's large enough for more than just a phone. The cupholders are nifty and can be tucked away to make another bin and set back with the push of a button. This is great if you always use a cupholder for your phone or sunglasses.

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Sportage Hybrid with all-wheel drive gets an EPA-estimated 38 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The base front-wheel-drive model is even better, at 43 mpg combined. That's considerably better than what a regular Sportage gets and on par with the fuel economy of other small SUV hybrids. Our test Sportage Hybrid with AWD achieved a slightly disappointing 34.5 mpg on Edmunds' real-world evaluation route, but it's worth noting that most of its rivals also underperformed in Edmunds' testing. We found that the Sportage Hybrid gets its best mpg in day-to-day driving around town where it can better take advantage of its hybrid powertrain.

Value

8.5/10

Is the Sportage Hybrid a good value? The Sportage Hybrid is one of the most affordable hybrid crossovers on the market, though it doesn't feel cheap or cut-rate from inside. Even the top SX Prestige trim undercuts most of its rivals when matched feature for feature. Build quality is excellent, with a handsome interior design and nicer upholstery than you might expect from this class. Kia offers a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty but covers both the powertrain as a whole and the battery alone for 10 years/100,000 miles. That's stellar stuff. Kia also includes five years/60,000 miles of roadside assistance.

Wildcard

8/10

The Sportage Hybrid is fairly quick for the class, but it's not the most entertaining crossover to drive. The steering, suspension and brakes are tuned for comfort, not carving up winding roads. That said, the Sportage Hybrid looks sharp. The exterior design, especially the front end, is striking. We commend Kia for offering matte paint at an affordable price, too, which really does a lot to spice things up.

2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid trim level differences

The 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid is a small SUV that's offered in three trim levels: LX, EX and SX Prestige. It's powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a hybrid system. Overall, this powertrain produces 227 horsepower. You have a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive in the base LX trim, but the EX and SX Prestige are only available with AWD. Compare the 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid trim levels in-depth.

Which Sportage Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

Unless you're aiming for the most efficient model, we recommend going with the midlevel EX trim. It comes with desirable features such as synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, a larger touchscreen and a wireless charging pad. All-wheel drive is included as well. You also have the option of adding the EX Premium package, which adds a panoramic sunroof, a hands-free liftgate and sharper-looking LED interior lighting.

Competitors to consider

The hybrid versions of the popular Honda CR-V and RAV4 are worth a look if you want a small SUV that gets high fuel economy. We also recommend the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, which is mechanically related to the Sportage. And if you want a less expensive hybrid SUV, Kia's Niro is a solid pick. Read our Expert Rating to get our test team's full report on the Sportage Hybrid's performance, comfort, utility and more.

Edmunds spotlight: Value for your money

The Kia Sportage Hybrid is even more appealing when you consider its reasonable starting price. It's only about a grand more expensive than a comparable non-hybrid Sportage when new, and on top of that you get EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 43 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That's great fuel economy for a hybrid small SUV. You also will get your money's worth with the most expensive trim level as it comes equipped with some high-end features plus a long list of extra advanced driver assist features.

2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX-Prestige 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 6A)

I'll begin by stating that I waited until this 2023 Kia Sportage SX Prestige had ample miles on the odometer in order to give a more factual review. At 9,124 of mixed driving ( 60% highway, 40% city), this vehicle has been solid in every way. My overall mileage since purchase sits at 36.1. I easily manage a consistent 38 -40 in city driving. On a long 4500 mile road trip driving at …

2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX-Prestige 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 6A)

We love our new Sportage Hybrid Prestige. The hybrid engine provides a really quiet and powerful ride for a crossover. We bought this SUV because it has more room than the competitors, great MPG, and the driving technology is amazing, especially the lane keeping assist on highways. The interior is very luxurious for the price point. So far we’ve had no issues. I wish they would not …

I have had this Sportage SX Prestige Hybrid for 3 months. My last car was a 2019 Totota Rav 4 Hybrid. The Kia rides much better, has more technology, is quieter, and quicker, especially in sport mode. The interior is more spacious and attractive that the Rav. On the down side, the raw averaged 38 mpg overall and at times was closer to 45 mpg. The Sportage get about 3 mpg less. But, for …
