Kia Sportage |
The 2023 Kia Sportage stands out from the crowd of compact crossovers with its outgoing style. The Kia's unconventional face features an alien-looking set of headlights and a distinct grille design. Its bolder body is also dimensionally larger than before, resulting in more cargo space and a roomier interior. Inside, the new Sportage is both eye-catching and packed with technology including a massive dash-mounted display. Motivation comes from either a 187-hp four-cylinder or a 226-hp hybrid powertrain that both pair with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. With stiff competition from segment stalwarts such as the Mazda CX-5, as well as updated adversaries such as the new Honda CR-V, the 2023 Sportage will have to prove it has more to offer than just a wild exterior.
- LX $26,000 (estimate).
- X-Line, $29,000 (estimate).
- EX, $30,000 (estimate).
- SX, $34,000 (estimate).
- X-Pro, $35,000 (estimate).
- SX-Prestige $37,000 (estimate).
- X-Pro Prestige, $38,000 (estimate).
The Sportage's default powertrain is a 187-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder that mates to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid variant mixes a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with a single electric motor that generates a total of 226 horsepower.

Either powertrain can be paired with front or all-wheel drive. The Sportage rides on a new platform with a longer wheelbase which is supposed to help provide better driving dynamics as well as reduce noise and vibration. The introduction of tough-looking trim like the X-Line gives the compact ute an off-road vibe, but the X-Pro actually has gear to help tackle the tough stuff. It rolls on 17-inch black rims and all-terrain tires, and offers a selection of drive modes.
Real-world fuel economy and MPG Kia hasn't said how fuel-efficient the 2023 Sportage will be, but obviously the hybrid should be the most efficient.

Inside, the Sportage looks to make a good impression with a sleek design highlighted by a huge digital display on the dash and other eye-catching details. The images we've seen show an attractive two-tone color scheme, and the shape of the air vents on the dashboard are particularly distinct. The center console has a rotating gear knob, start button and myriad other controls that blend into the piano black bezel.
Thanks to larger overall dimensions as well as a longer wheelbase, the Sportage has more rear legroom and 40 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat. There's also a two-level load floor for even more versatility.
