Kia Sportage
The standard gas-powered Kia Sportage features a 2.5-liter inline-four engine that delivers 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this setup offers a smooth ride and confident acceleration. Drivers can choose between front-wheel drive and available Dynamax™ AWD for extra grip when it counts.
Kia Sportage Hybrid
Looking to save at the pump without sacrificing fun? The hybrid Kia Sportage brings together a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine and an electric motor, creating a combined 231 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This hybrid setup is all about efficiency—with the pep to back it up. Plus, select trims come equipped with Kia Drive Wise™ features to boost safety and confidence behind the wheel.
Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid
Want a mix of all-electric range for errands and gas power for road trips? The 2026 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) is your sweet spot. It uses the same turbocharged engine as the hybrid but ups the ante with a more powerful electric motor, producing 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
