Hybrid Performance

The main differentiator between the Kia Sportage Hybrid and its competition is its exceptional hybrid performance. The hybrid model delivers 227 horsepower and up to an EPA-estimated 43 MPG on the highway, allowing you to travel long distances without worrying about finding a gas station. This hybrid powertrain makes 258 pound-feet of torque while you cruise to Temecula. However, there is also another plug-in hybrid model that delivers even more value. 

This configuration provides 261 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. You also get up to 84 MPGe in combined fuel economy. This option allows you an electric range of 34 miles, meaning you can use it for small commutes without touching the gasoline engine. It also gives you a total range of 430 miles, which is exceptional for a vehicle in this class.

Technology

Regarding technology, the Kia Sportage Hybrid delivers plenty of technologies that make your life easier. For example, you can get a 12.3-inch dual-panoramic display with all the necessary information in one place. There are LED headlights, fog lights, and taillights available for the exterior. This design gives you even more visibility at night, allowing you to travel comfortably.

Safety

Safety is another area where this Kia model stands out from the competition. You get plenty of driver-assistance features that make it even more accessible. For example, there is a surround-view monitor that gives you a comprehensive view of what is always happening around your vehicle. When you combine that with the highway driving assist, you can go long distances quite safely. You also have excellent navigation systems in select trims and a suite of sensors that always let you know what is around you.
