2023 Kia Sportage: prices for the different versions

The all-new Kia SUV is available in three different models.  The 2023 Kia Sportage model with a heat engine is offered in 5 trim levels, at a base price of:

• $ 30,994 (LX TA) or $ 32,994 (LX TI)
• $ 36,594 (X-Line)

Then, you could also opt for a hybrid model (HEV), offered in two trim levels, the EX and SX.  In the first case, the price for the 2023 Kia Sportage EX hybrid is $ 38,594; for the second, the bill goes up to $ 45,294.  

Finally, the plug-in hybrid version (PHEV) is not available in dealerships yet, but will offer the same options as the regular hybrid, with a MSRP of $ 44,995 and $ 48,395 for each trim level.  Please take note that the prices for the Kia Sportage PHEV make it eligible for government incentives, meaning that the final price will be significantly lower. 

The three powertrains for the 2023 Sportage 

There are loads of novelties under the hood of the Kia SUV like, amongst other things, two greener alternatives. 

In both cases, the hybrid powertrains include a 1.6 L turbocharged engine and a battery that activates an electric motor.  With the regular hybrid, you will have access to 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. maximum torque. 

As for the plug-in hybrid, the battery has a higher capacity (13.8 kWh), which allows it to reach up to 261 horsepower.  It can also drive in full electric mode for a distance of up to 55 km. 

The Korean manufacturer doesn’t stop here: the heat engine also undergoes improvements, making it more powerful while lowering fuel consumption numbers.  The 2.5 L 4- cylinder now offers 187 Horsepower and 178 lb-ft. maximum torque and fuel consumption is 8.4 L/100 km in average (with front-wheel drive). 

And for a safe and stable driving experience regardless of the weather and road conditions, all-wheel drive is standard offered on all trim levels, except for the LX base version.

A new design for the Sportage

If you are part of the consumers who weren’t impressed by the appearance it had over the last few generations, the new 2023 Kia Sportage may very well make you change your mind!  In fact, the model takes on a whole new philosophy with Kia, called “opposites united”.

In terms of design, this translates into highlighted contrasts between geometrical and more fluid lines.  The new boomerang shaped headlights and the muscular silhouette offered by the Sportage will most certainly draw your attention!

Dimensions have also been improved like, for example, with an elongated wheel-base that will allow for a more generous amount of room for passengers; rear passengers will have 3 extra inches of legroom!

When it comes to cargo space, it now reaches between 1,121 and 2,098 liters with the fuel version!  This amount of space is barely a hundred or so liters less for the hybrid models. 

A more technological interior

As you have seen, the fifth generation’s interior receives more in terms of space and comfort, but technologies as well! From the EX version on, the dashboard boasts a large curved screen that links together the 12.3- inch digital instrumentation and the 12.3- inch multimedia touch screen as well. Options also include:

• A navigation system
• A wireless charger
• A Harman Kardon audio system
• Kia Connect car solution

The heated front seats come standard on all models.  The EX Premium version of the 2023 Kia Sportage, offered at a base price of $ 40,194 (fuel engine) includes loads of added features, like:

• Heated rear seats
• Ventilated front seats
• Driver’s seat with memory function
