Kia Sportage PHEV AWD: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the Sportage PHEV AWD rank in its segment?

Among the 10 C-SUV plug-in hybrid 2022–2026, the Sportage PHEV AWD ranks 5th of 10 in Electric WLTP range (70 km, behind the Audi Q3 SUV e-hybrid S tronic 200 kW), 2nd of 10 in Combined range (648 km, behind the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8), 4th of 9 in Thermal cons. estimated (7.3 L/100, behind the Jeep Compass 4xe), 10th of 10 in 0–100 km/h (8.2 s, behind the Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV).

What is the électrique range of the Sportage PHEV AWD?

70 km WLTP announced - making it the 5th of 10 in Electric WLTP range out of 10 models. The reference is the Audi Q3 SUV e-hybrid S tronic 200 kW (106 km).

How much does the Sportage PHEV AWD cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Audi Q3 SUV e-hybrid S tronic 200 kW instead?

The Audi Q3 SUV e-hybrid S tronic 200 kW leads in Electric WLTP range (106 km vs 70 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Sportage PHEV AWD vs Audi Q3 SUV e-hybrid S tronic 200 kW duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
