Kia Sportage Hybrid Southport, Indiana
Fuel Savings and Four-Season Confidence in One Compact SUV
Plenty of compact SUVs promise good mileage. The Kia Sportage Hybrid backs that promise with a turbocharged hybrid system, available all-wheel drive, and a cabin full of thoughtful tech. At Ray Skillman Southside Kia, we help drivers near Southport, Indiana, find the trim that fits their routine and their budget.
- A 1.6-liter turbo hybrid teams up with an electric motor for 232 combined horsepower.
- Five trims range from the well-equipped LX to the loaded SX-Prestige, with FWD or AWD on most.
- Our side-by-side trim chart shows which features come standard and where you can add more.
The Sportage Hybrid never needs a charging cord. Its battery recharges on its own while you drive, so ownership feels just like any other SUV, only with fewer trips to the pump. Our team is happy to walk you through each version and set up a test drive whenever it suits you.
Turbo Hybrid Power with Room to Choose
Under the hood, a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine works alongside an electric motor to produce a combined 232 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed automatic sends that power to the wheels, and the electric motor’s instant low-end pull makes the Kia Sportage Hybrid feel quick when you leave a stoplight or merge into fast traffic.
Front-wheel-drive models earn EPA estimates of 40 city, 42 highway, and 41 combined MPG. All-wheel drive is available on the S and EX trims and standard on the X-Line and SX-Prestige, with ratings of 35 city, 36 highway, and 35 combined MPG. AWD versions also add Terrain Mode with Snow, Mud, and Sand settings, a welcome extra when a January storm rolls across central Indiana.

Kia Sportage Hybrid Ready for Life Near Southport, Indiana
Daily driving on the south side tends to mix a little of everything. One minute you’re creeping along Southport Road during the after-school rush, and the next you’re cruising the I-465 loop at highway speed. Hybrids shine in exactly that kind of stop-and-go pattern, because the electric motor handles much of the low-speed work and the gas engine rests.
Weekends ask for space, and this SUV has it. The dual-level cargo floor gives you up to 39.5 cubic feet behind the second row in its low position, and folding the rear seats frees up as much as 73.7 cubic feet. Pack the bikes and a cooler, and point south toward Brown County State Park with room to spare.
A Cabin Built Around Your Phone and Your Playlist
Every trim comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so your maps and music pop up the moment you start the car. A 12.3-inch digital driver display sits right next to it, keeping speed and hybrid info easy to read. The EX adds a wireless phone charger, SynTex seating, and a hands-free Smart Power Liftgate.
Higher trims turn the cabin into something special. The SX-Prestige brings a curved panoramic display with built-in navigation, Harman Kardon premium audio, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and Digital Key 2.0, which lets your smartphone lock, unlock, and start the vehicle. X-Line buyers can add many of those same upgrades through the available Technology Package.
Driver Assistance That Watches Your Blind Spots
Kia Drive Wise features come standard from the LX up, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Lane Following Assist 2, and Driver Attention Warning. Smart Cruise is a real stress saver on U.S. 31 when traffic speeds up and slows down without warning.
Starting with the S, you also get Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Safe Exit Warning, which can alert rear passengers before they open a door into oncoming traffic. The SX-Prestige goes further with Surround View Monitor, Blind-Spot View Monitor, and Highway Driving Assist 2 for longer drives.
