2023 Kia Sportage: A Promising Meet-and-Greet
The Kia Sportage is getting a makeover this year as the fifth-generation model gets ready to hit the market. Normally, it would have been presented for Canada at the Toronto Auto Show, but as you know a certain variant of a certain virus that led to a certain pandemic caused the cancellation of that and other automotive events early in the year.
The styling has also changed, quite drastically in fact, and Kia clearly wanted to give it the brand's new product signature, seen already on the new Sorento, among others. On board, some elements of the new EV6 are also found here. Overall, it's a happy mix that produces a happy result. Photo: D.Boshouwers 2023 Kia Sportage HEV, rear One more word on the interior. Our visit gave us a much better idea than images could of the environment, and we can attest to a marked increase in the level of quality. Of course, the model on display was fully loaded with all possible goodies, but still. The main thing we noticed was the snazzy dashboard presentation, starting with a huge curved screen that groups the instrumentation and the multimedia system elements.
Three main versions of the 2023 Sportage are on the way: a gasoline-only version , a straight hybrid variant and a plug-in hybrid model. That PHEV gets the same engine as the hybrid, but its output is greater thanks to a 13.8-kWh battery and a 66-kW motor helping out. Official output data for it is pending, but with the Hyundai Tucson PHEV , output is 261 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.
