Looking for a Kia Sportage Hybrid in Indianapolis? At Ray Skillman Southside Kia, we carry the hybrid compact SUV that is helping families lower their fuel costs without giving up the room, tech, or capability they count on every day. Smart engineering, real-world efficiency, and a roomy cabin make the Sportage Hybrid a thoughtful pick for drivers who want an SUV that fits both a budget and a busy week.
Whether your week revolves around school drop-offs, a commute up I-65, or weekend trips around the area, the Sportage Hybrid handles it without drama. Our team at Ray Skillman Southside Kia walks you through trims, drivetrains, and features so you leave the lot with a clear picture of what you are driving and why.
The Sportage Hybrid pairs a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with an electric motor for a combined 232 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. That is enough muscle to merge onto I-465 with confidence and pass slower traffic on longer trips, while the hybrid system quietly handles low-speed driving on electric power. The result is a compact SUV that feels relaxed in stop-and-go traffic and sure-footed on the highway.
Fuel economy is where this hybrid earns its keep. The front-wheel-drive LX rates an EPA-estimated 42 mpg combined, while AWD-equipped trims rate 35 mpg combined. Every AWD trim also includes an active all-wheel-drive system with Terrain Mode, with selectable settings for Snow, Mud, and Sand. For Hoosiers who deal with winter weather, that extra traction makes a real difference on a slick morning.
Inside, the Sportage Hybrid feels modern without being overcomplicated. A standard 12.3-inch touchscreen handles infotainment, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you can leave the cable in the glovebox. Higher trims step up to dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays in a single curved layout, with built-in navigation and voice recognition included on the SX Prestige.
Practical touches show up where you need them. The available wireless phone charger has its own cooling fan to keep your phone from overheating, and rear USB-C ports keep backseat passengers powered up. An available 8-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system delivers richer sound on long drives, and an available head-up display puts navigation and speed right in your line of sight.
Every Sportage Hybrid comes with a strong list of standard driver-assistance features. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist watches for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go takes some of the work out of highway driving, while Lane Following Assist and Lane Keeping Assist help keep the SUV centered in its lane on longer trips.
Step up from the LX and Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Safe Exit Warning come standard. The SX Prestige adds a 360-degree Surround View Monitor and a Blind-Spot View Monitor that puts a live camera feed in the gauge cluster whenever you signal. These help when you are squeezing into a tight downtown parking spot or pulling out of a packed lot.
Five trims give you a real range of options, from the fuel-saving LX to the feature-rich SX Prestige. Here is how the lineup stacks up:
| Feature | LX | S | EX | X-Line | SX Prestige |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drivetrain | FWD | AWD | AWD | AWD | AWD |
