2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid: 52 Km electric range chases RAV4 Prime, Escape PHEV
With the low-slung EV6 electric car just about to start reaching customers, Kia has just rolled out more U.S. details for a compact SUV that could serve as a gateway to going electric: the 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid.
Like the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid and the Sportage Hybrid, the Sportage Plug-In Hybrid has a 177-hp, 1.6-liter turbo-4 engine as part of its hybrid system, which packages an electric motor with a 6-speed automatic transmission, adding a clutch to take the engine out of the mix when possible for electric driving.
Versus the Sportage Hybrid, the Plug-In Hybrid gets upgrades to some key electric-propulsion pieces: A 13.8-kwh battery pack functions as an energy buffer for hybrid-mode driving, much as the 1.49-kwh pack used in hybrid versions, and it also allows what Kia is estimating to be 32 EPA electric miles.
