The 2023 KIA Sportage Hybrid has a new roomy design, big curbed interior display and is an exceptionally quiet drive.
EXTERIOR
The Sportage is modern and sleek with an increase in size from previous models. From bumper to bumper, the Sportage delivers 183.5 inches and a wheelbase of 108.5 inches. The Sportage is now one of the largest compact SUV’s on the market.
The horizontal black grill and boomerang accent lights a nice design features and the lights make it easy to see from the review mirrors at night.

INSIDE
The hybrid combo of a small turbo engine and electric motor 6-speed automatic transmission delivers a smooth quiet ride. The inside design and execution are sleek and upscale with a 300-degree view monitor, blind spot cameras with displays and highway driving assist with adaptive cruise control and lane centering ability.
The backseat legroom is ample with 41.3. inches and the cargo area offers a bit 39.6 cubic feet.
We weren’t fond of the lack of wireless Apple Carplay or having to toggle between the climate and infotainment systems on the control center. We did love the 12.2-inch of screen touch display, the flexible cup holders and large number of USB outlets making it easy for rear-seat passengers to plug in.

Another fancy feature is the remote smart parking assist which lets drivers use the key fob to guide the car into tight parking spaces.
Starting prices for the Sportage Hybrid EX AWD are $32.285. We drove it from LA to Santa Barbara and loved the quiet comfortable ride and extra roomy space for seating and luggage.
