Ritzy, Refined, and Ready to Impress: The 2025 Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid Delivers

2025 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid

The 2025 Sportage Plug-in Hybrid takes this award-winning model to the next level, blending power, fuel efficiency, and upscale comfort into a sleek compact SUV here at Jim Butler Kia of St Louis. This electrified model delivers an impressive balance of electric and gasoline performance, allowing for up to 34 miles of all-electric driving before seamlessly switching to hybrid mode. That means shorter commutes and everyday errands can be completed without using a drop of gas.

Designed for Comfort and Performance

Step inside the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid, and you’re greeted by a quiet, high-tech cabin that feels closer to luxury than your typical compact SUV. The ride is smooth and controlled, with plenty of power when you need it—whether you’re merging onto the highway or tackling a steep hill. The transition between electric and gas power is practically seamless, offering a refined driving experience.

With its well-crafted suspension and smart chassis tuning, the Sportage PHEV delivers a confident, composed ride. And for those who appreciate attention to detail, features like the automatically lowering audio volume when shifting into reverse help make every drive more convenient.

Efficiency That Goes the Extra Mile

With an estimated 84 MPGe when running on electric and gasoline power combined, the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid is designed to maximize fuel savings without sacrificing performance. When the battery is depleted, it continues to achieve 35 MPG as a traditional hybrid, so long trips are just as efficient. A full recharge using a 240-volt supply takes only about two hours, making it easy to keep the battery topped up and ready to go.

A Spacious, High-Tech Interior

The Sportage Plug-in Hybrid isn’t just efficient—it’s also incredibly spacious. Its 39.5 inches of rear legroom outclasses many rivals, offering a comfortable ride for passengers in both rows. And with 34.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, there’s plenty of room for luggage, groceries, or gear for your next adventure.

Premium touches set the Sportage PHEV apart, like the available dual 12.3-inch panoramic digital display, intuitive climate/audio controls, and innovative storage solutions—such as cupholders that transform into extra space for larger items.
