Kia hasn't said how fuel-efficient the 2023 Sportage will be, but obviously, the hybrid is expected to be the thriftiest. It rides on black 17-inch rims and all-terrain tires, and features a selection of drive modes.Дў023 Kia Sportage Debuts with a Striking New Look The introduction of rugged-looking trims such as the X-Line gives the compact ute an off-road vibe, but the X-Pro actually has some equipment to help tackle the rough stuff. The Sportage rides on a new platform with a longer wheelbase that's said to help provide better driving dynamics as well as reduce noise and vibration. Either powertrain can be paired with front- or all-wheel drive. The hybrid variant mixes a turbocharged 1.6-liter four with a single electric motor that generates a combined 226 horses. The Sportage's default powertrain is a 187-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder that mates to an eight-speed automatic transmission. We'll wait to recommend which one to buy until we have official pricing and a complete roster of standard and optional features. Kia hasn't said how much the 2023 Sportage will cost, but the company has announced the selection of trim levels. The current generation is unchanged for the 2022 model year.

The 2023 Sportage will enter an all-new generation when it reaches showrooms early next year. With tough competition from segment stalwarts such as the Mazda CX-5, as well as updated opponents such as the new Honda CR-V, the 2023 Sportage will have to prove it has more to offer than just a wild-looking exterior. Motivation comes from either a 187-hp four-cylinder or a 226-hp hybrid powertrain that both pair with front- or all-wheel drive. Inside, the new Sportage is both attractive and packed with tech that includes a massive dash-mounted screen. Its bolder bodywork is also dimensionally bigger than before, which translates to more cargo space and a roomier interior. The Kia's unconventional face features a set of alien-looking headlights and a distinct grille design. The 2023 Kia Sportage separates itself from the throng of compact crossovers with its extroverted styling.
