Recently I tooled around town in a 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige AWD.
The name is a bit of a chore — thankfully, the vehicle isn't.

This one sets up a 1.6-liter turbo four with an electric motor for a total system horsepower of 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. There's a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
Standard features included navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist, forward collision-avoidance assist, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, satellite radio, wireless device charging, dual-zone climate control, 18-inch wheels, heated front seats, and more.
Options included a “smart” power liftgate, panoramic sunroof, LED fog lamps, smart cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, Harman/Kardon audio, cooled front seats, heated steering wheel, and a memory driver's seats. Oh, and this one had matte paint for $595.
Base price, with D and D: $37,490. Price as optioned, again with D and D: $39,730.
Let's get to it.
Pros
Cons
The Sportage Hybrid offers a lot to like but some flaws annoy. Save some bucks and avoid the matte paint and you might have a boring yet likable ride.
