The compact 2025 Kia Sportage HEV and PHEV aren’t just compact and super efficient SUVs, they reinvent the idea of going places. Urban focused, but prepared for adventure, the Sportage HEV and PHEV demonstrate the power and capability of a hybrid. You can drive further with the hybrid electric (HEV) Sportage, or turn off the gas engine and commute up to 55 km fully electric in the plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV) model. Safe, capable, and stylish, the 2025 Sportage HEV and PHEV are two of the best all-wheel-drive SUV’s Kia has ever produced.
Read on with the team here at Kia Victoria as we take a closer look at what the 2025 Kia Sportage HEV and PHEV have to offer.
Exterior Highlights
Good Looks
The 2025 Kia Sportage HEV and PHEV look as refined and stylish as their non-hybrid cousins, with beautiful sculpted bodysides and an eye-catching front grille. It’s available in six stunning body-colours; including the more restrained Snow White Pearl or Steel Grey, to the bolder Dawning Red or Vesta Blue.
LEDs
LED lights are more efficient and long-lasting, so naturally the 2025 Sportage HEV and PHEV come equipped with a full suite of LED lights. This includes multi-reflection headlights, positioning lights, “boomerang” style daytime running lights, and combination tail lights.
Interior Highlights
Keep Cozy
Canadian winter is no joke, but you’ll be staying warm and cozy behind the wheel of your 2025 Kia Sportage HEV or PHEV. Both models come standard with heated front seats to ensure maximum warmth during your cold weather driving. Available heated steering wheels and rear seats give added comfort throughout the cabin, ensuring everyone is looking forward to taking a ride in your Sportage no matter what time of year it is.
Spacious Interior
There’s always a concern when you switch to an HEV or PHEV vehicle that you’ll be sacrificing cargo volume for the extra battery space. Thanks to modern engineering, the technicians at Kia have made that a negligible change, with the HEV providing 1,852 L or maximum cargo space, and the PHEV offering 1,855 L. Throw in the available hands-free Smart Power Liftgate and you also have easy cargo access.
Technology Highlights
Kia Connect
You’ll always be able to stay in touch with your 2025 Kia Sportage HEV or PHEV. The Kia Connect app allows you to use many remote features such as locking and unlocking doors, pre-setting the temperature, and even starting the engine. You can even monitor your battery life, or get directions to the nearest charging stations, all from the convenience of your smartphone!
Stay Wireless
Not only does the 2025 Sportage HEV and PHEV offer wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ connectivity, there’s also an available wireless charging pad so you can keep your devices topped up while you’re on the go. You can finally leave all that cable clutter at home and out of your vehicle’s cabin.
Performance Highlights
Turbo-Charged Hybrid
The 2025 Kia Sportage HEV isn’t just an excellent compact SUV, it’s an incredibly powerful one too. It comes equipped with a 1.6L turbocharged engine coupled to a 44.2 kW hybrid system motor, which is capable of outputting 227 horsepower, and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. Better yet, it’s incredibly efficient, with an estimated combined fuel economy of just 6.2L/100km!
Plug It In
You can also opt for the 2025 Kia Sportage PHEV. The plug-in variant can be driven fully electric around town for up to 55 km, saving your gas tank for when you need to hit the highway on a grand adventure. You can fully recharge the battery overnight using a standard 120V household outlet, or in just 2 hours with a level 2 charger.
Safety Highlights
Rear Cross-Traffic Avoidance
The available Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist system for the 2025 Kia Sportage HEV and PHEV gives you added protection when backing up. It monitors your sides to alert you when traffic is detected approaching from the side, and will even hit the brakes before a collision occurs if you aren’t responsive enough.
Bird’s Eye View
The 2025 Sportage HEV and PHEV both offer you a 360-degree birds eye view of the area around your SUV. The around view monitor system helps give you a complete view of your surroundings to make parking, reversing, and maneuvering as easy as possible.
