2025 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid Trims Comparison

Which 2025 Sportage Plug-In Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

It's not a trivial step up in price to get the range-topping X-Line Prestige, but the premium nets a load of additional equipment including Highway Driving Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance to reduce the driver's mental load, plus automated parking and ventilated front seats. The X-Line Prestige is our pick.

2025 Sportage Plug-In Hybrid trim level differences

The 2025 Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid is available in two trim levels: X-Line and X-Line Prestige. Both are powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that make a combined 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are the only available drivetrain. No options other than extra-cost paint colors are available on either trim.

X-Line
The base Sportage plug-in is already fairly loaded compared to the non-hybrid and regular hybrid models. Standard equipment includes:

  • 19-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights and taillights
  • Power liftgate
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Keyless entry and start
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery

Standard safety and driver assist features include:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Driver attention monitor (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Lane keeping assistance (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)

X-Line Prestige

  • 12.3-inch digital instrument panel
  • Driver's seat memory function
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Ventilated front seats

  • Harman Kardon premium audio
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Front cross-traffic warning (warns of collisions in intersections)
  • Reverse automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Highway Driving Assist (enhanced lane keeping assistance and adaptive cruise control functionality)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Blind-spot camera (displays an image of the vehicle's blind spot in the instrument panel when you activate a turn signal)
