The 2024 Kia Sportage PHEV is a plug-in hybrid SUV with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the NQ5 generation. The 1.6 PHEV GT-Line S AWD is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 1.6 PHEV GT-Line S AWD version develops 265 hp and 367 Nm (271 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 8.5 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 191 km/h (119 mph). Its power output is about 26% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 34% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 13.8 kWh. The recorded electric range is 67 km (42 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 1.2 L/100km. Its listed range is about 8% below the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,515 mm (177.8 in) in length, 1,865 mm (73.4 in) in width, and 1,660 mm (65.4 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,680 mm (105.5 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 540 litres (19.1 cu ft), expanding to 1,715 litres (60.6 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,985 kg (4,376 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 1,350 kg (2,976 lb). That cargo volume is close to the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 1.6 T-GDi PHEV GT-Line and 1.6 PHEV GT-Line S AWD. Across the range, the specifications span 265 hp, 8.2 s to 8.5 s, and 67 km to 70 km, while listed starting prices run from $39,990-$44,990. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby plug-in hybrid SUV models from the same period, the 2024 Kia Sportage PHEV is strongest on price, while acceleration and towing capacity stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
