2023 Kia Sportage GT-Line - Crossover SUV! Interior | Drive | Hybrid | New Sportage 2023

The 2023 Kia Sportage separates itself from the throng of compact crossovers with its extroverted styling. The Kia's unconventional face features a set of alien-looking headlights and a distinct grille design. Its bolder bodywork is also dimensionally bigger than before, which translates to more cargo space and a roomier interior. Inside, the new Sportage is both attractive and packed with tech that includes a massive dash-mounted screen. Motivation comes from a 187-hp four-cylinder, a 226-hp hybrid powertrain, or a more powerful plug-in-hybrid model with an estimated all-electric range of 32 miles. With tough competition from segment stalwarts such as the Mazda CX-5, as well as updated opponents such as the new Honda CR-V, the 2023 Sportage will have to prove it has more to offer than just a wild-looking exterior.
What's New for 2023?
The Sportage enters an all-new generation for the 2023 model year when it reaches showrooms early next year. Among the changes compared with its predecessor are newly available hybrid and plug-in-hybrid powertrains. The latter addition gives the Kia a competitor to plug-in alternatives such as the Hyundai Tucson, the Toyota RAV4 Prime, and Mitsubishi Outlander.
Price:
LX - $27,205
EX - $29,205
X-Line - $32,005
SX - $32,705
SX-Prestige - $34,705
X-Pro - $35,705
X-Pro Prestige - $38,005
Engine, Transmission, and Performance:
The Sportage's default powertrain is a 187-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder that mates to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid variant mixes a turbocharged 1.6-liter four with a single electric motor that generates a combined 226 horses. Either powertrain can be paired with front- or all-wheel drive.
There's also an all-wheel-drive-only plug-in hybrid that shares an engine with the regular hybrid but adds a more powerful electric motor and a bigger battery pack. Kia claims the PHEV model can go 32 miles on electricity alone. The Sportage rides on a new platform with a longer wheelbase that's said to help provide better driving dynamics as well as reduce noise and vibration.
The introduction of rugged-looking trims such as the X-Line gives the compact ute an off-road vibe, but the X-Pro actually has some equipment to help tackle the rough stuff. It rides on black 17-inch rims and all-terrain tires, and features a selection of drive modes.
Inside, the Sportage looks to make an impression with a snazzy design highlighted by a huge digital display on the dashboard and other various eye-catching details. The images we've seen show an attractive two-tone color scheme, and the shape of the air vents on the dash are particularly distinct.
The center console boasts a rotary shift knob, a push-to-start button, and myriad other controls that blend into the piano-black bezel. Thanks to bigger dimensions overall as well as a longer wheelbase, the Sportage has more rear-seat legroom and 40 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back seat. There's also a dual-level cargo floor for even more versatility.
On the infotainment front, the Sportage comes standard with desirable features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Along with a large 12.3-inch instrument panel, there's an available 12.3-inch touchscreen that together form one seamless screen on the dashboard. There are also neat touch-sensitive controls below the infotainment interface that alternate between the climate system and the stereo. An upgraded Harman/Kardon unit is available as well as a wireless phone charger and a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot.
