I've had my sportage for over a year with no issues, whatsoever. I constantly get compliments on the light grey interior with black outside exterior combo and I love how smooth it drives. Highly recommend!! - 5.0

First off I'm a 72 year old male and have owned and driven just about everything. I wanted to review this Kia Hybrid for several reasons My friends can't believe I went for a hybrid but just look at the difference. The horsepower and torque are much more over a standard engine plus I can get 40 MPG here in the mountains of WV. Never have I saw this much savings with so much power. Don't believe me just try one and you will see. It's a spaceship on wheels. I have the EX version there are more models available in the more expensive range if you want them, like 🌙 roofs ground thumper sound systems,off road packages, heated and cooled seats, yada yada yada I don't need all that. This car is sporty, comfortable,eye pleasing, technology infused and safe easy driving vehicle I have ever had outside of my 1970 AMX. KIA will surpass Toyota soon I know this - 5.0
Second Sportage Hybrid

My 2019 Kia Optima EX, which came with the same 1.6 liter turbo used in the hybrid, was totalled last November when I was stopped for construction traffic. So I had to get a new car. My wife has a 2023 Kia Sportage hybrid SX Prestige which is close to 3 years old. We have had no problems with it and it rides better than some luxury cars we have ridden in so I ended up replacing the 2019 Optima with a 2026 Kia Sportage hybrid SX Prestige with the only option being the homelink self-dimming mirror. The ride is similar to the 2023 Sportage, including how quiet the vehicle is. My 2026 has less than 1,500 miles on it and is averaging 34.7 mpg; the EPA rating is 35! The 2026 come standard with even more standard features than the 2023: automatic folding side-view mirrors, heated rear seats and heads-up display. I am tired of black and/or gray interiors. My Sportage is wolf gray with, what I call, a terracotta interior. My Optima was virtually trouble free in the seven years I owned it and the 2023 Sportage has been trouble free in over two and a half years of ownership.
