Sportage Hybrid & Plug-In Hybrid Choices

The gas Sportage isn't the only powertrain available in the Sportage family. Kia also offers Sportage Hybrid and Sportage Plug-in Hybrid models for shoppers interested in electrified driving.

Those versions use different powertrains and have their own performance and efficiency characteristics, so they should not be treated as trim levels of the gas Sportage. The Hybrid combines gasoline and electric power without requiring routine plug-in charging, while the Plug-in Hybrid adds a larger battery that allows a portion of driving to be completed on electric power.

We'll cover their specific power, efficiency, electric-driving capability, trims, and equipment separately on their dedicated model pages.

Kia Coverage for the Road Ahead

Kia backs the Sportage with warranty coverage designed for longer-term ownership.

Warranty Coverage:

• 5-year/60,000-mile limited warranty

• 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty

• No complimentary scheduled maintenance included
