The 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid was unveiled by the brand at the LA Auto Show as a transportation solution for the modern consumer who is interested in shifting from a sedan to an SUV without sacrificing when it comes to fuel economy.
The SUV features a 226-horsepower turbocharged hybrid powertrain within that aims to offer an impressive 39mpg performance for more than 500-miles of driving range. The brand reports that the vehicle would also reduce CO2 emissions by almost 40% over the previous model.
