Auto123 gets in a first drive of the 2023 Kia Sportage, a modern, value-packed compact SUV that has grown in size and offers great 2nd-row and cargo space.

The Sportage is available as of now or will be as of a few days from now in two configurations: strictly gas-powered and hybrid. There is also a plug-in hybrid variant, which may be the most intriguing option in the end, but unfortunately that one is only coming to market later on this year, likely in the later part of summer. So patience.
The LX FWD comes with a fairly complete set of drive-assist systems , rides on 17-inch wheels and offers occupants an 8-inch infotainment display. The LX AWD adds drive modes, and a higher price point . Photo: D.Boshouwers EX Premium version of the 2023 Kia Sportage The EX Premium jacks up the wheels to 19 inches and adds exterior chrome elements, smart power liftgate, quilted leatherette, memory function for the driver’s seat, power-adjust front passenger seats, vented front seats and heated rear seats.
The straight-hybrid Sportage obviously outperforms the ICE versions in terms of fuel economy, with 6.1/6.3/6.2L/100 km the official figures. If those are real, and we believe they’re probably realistic even though we could not on this day test any HEVs out, they should provide a decent added incentive for hesitant buyers on a budget.
