The 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid is more than just a stylish SUV—it's a statement of modern driving, thoughtfully designed for the unique needs of Australian roads and drivers.
As a leading brand in the automotive industry, Kia continues to deliver family-friendly vehicles that combine high quality, reliability, and exceptional value.
Here are six reasons why the 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid stands out and why we think you’ll love it too.
The heart of the 2024 Sportage Hybrid is its finely-tuned hybrid powertrain, which marries a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine with an electric motor. This combination delivers 169kW of power and 350Nm of torque, which are impressive figures for a car of this size and setup, and ensure that every drive is not just efficient, but exhilarating.
Whether navigating city streets or cruising on open highways, the Sportage Hybrid provides great fuel savings with a touch of spirited performance, giving the eco-conscious driver just enough excitement to enjoy every drive.
Kia has had some of the best infotainment centres in recent years, and the Sportage is no exception.
The SUV features a stunning 12.3-inch central touchscreen paired with a digital instrument cluster, offering crisp, clear visuals and seamless responsiveness. With an intuitive touch-capacitive control panel that streamlines your driving experience, Kia has made the technology feel effortless.
We also love the dedicated ‘Hybrid’ menu that gives you real-time insights into your vehicle’s energy usage. We found it enhanced our connection with the road and naturally led us to drive in a more economical manner.
Step inside the Sportage Hybrid, and you’ll immediately appreciate the thoughtful design and spaciousness tailored for families. The interior offers plenty of legroom, especially in the back, making it perfect for road trips with kids or carpooling with friends.
We enjoyed the clever storage solutions like the deployable cupholders as well as the versatile boot that spanned from 543L to a massive 1829L with the rear seats folded.
The Sportage is certainly the kind of space that grows with your family, proving that Kia understands what matters most to everyday Australians.
Driving in Australia presents its own set of challenges. That’s why Kia’s engineers tune the ride and handling performance of every Kia model to suit our country's unique conditions. The Sportage Hybrid is no exception with a focus on comfort and dependability to suit Australian roads.
The Hybrid's smooth transition between electric and petrol power, coupled with a responsive six-speed automatic transmission, ensures a refined and confident drive. Whether you’re commuting in the city or off on a day trip exploring the hinterland, the Sportage Hybrid delivers comfort and stability, making every journey a pleasure.
Safety is non-negotiable in a family vehicle, and the 2024 Sportage Hybrid doesn’t disappoint. It enjoys a five-star ANCAP safety rating as well as advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring, you'll enjoy peace of mind on every drive.
If you're still hesitant about the reliability of electrified vehicles, just know that you’re covered no matter where the road takes you in your Sportage Hybrid with Kia’s seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.
We love Kia's commitment to safety and reliability and Australians do too, which is why the Sportage is a top choice for Aussie families, no matter what powertrain sits under the bonnet.
Kia has a well-earned reputation for offering vehicles that provide outstanding value, and the Sportage Hybrid is no different. While the initial investment might be higher than the petrol version, the Sportage Hybrid more than makes up for it with superior driving performance, advanced features, and the promise of long-term savings. It’s a well-rounded SUV that perfectly blends practicality with luxury, proving that Kia continues to lead the way in delivering high-quality, reliable vehicles at a reasonable price.
