The 2023 Kia Sportage is a crossover SUV that has a rugged feel and design to allow you to take it to school drop off as much as you can take it off-road. So how much will the 2023 Kia Sportage cost, and what will that price include? Let’s take a look.

How much will the 2023 Kia Sportage cost?

The 2023 Kia Sportage price starts at $25,990 for the base model LX. This comes with front-wheel drive, though you can upgrade to all-wheel-drive for $2,000, according to Kelley Blue Book. There are other Kia Sportage trim levels available as well, including the EX, SX, and SX-Prestige. The price tops out with the X-Pro Prestige at $36,790. Of course each trim level builds off of the one below it and adds on more safety features as well as nice additions.

The 2023 Kia Sportage will be available in 2022. It has five spacious seats and a modern dashboard with a “massive curved display that sweeps about halfway across the vehicle.” The Sportage is also loaded with updated technology and comfortable seating. It’s mechanically similar to the Kia Sorento and the Hyundai Tucson.

Does the Kia Sportage have a new design?

The new Sportage is a little different than prior models. The 2023 Kia Sportage is the fifth generation of this popular Kia SUV. The new Kia Sportage is a little bigger than the 2022 Kia Sportage. In fact, it’s a full 7.1-inches longer, which is pretty significant. Its wheelbase is also longer than the 2022 Sportage, by 3.4-inches.

This makes the 2023 Kia Sportage much more spacious and roomy than previous models. Kelley Blue Book notes that the change has especially made the back seat more comfortable, a bonus if you plan on regularly using that row. In addition, there’s a ton of cargo space in the 2023 Kia Sportage – 39.6 feet.

Will 2023 Kia Sportage have a turbo?

The regular 2023 Kia Sportage will be coming with just one available engine. That engine will be a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder that can make about 187 hp. This comes matched to front-wheel drive, though you can upgrade to four-wheel drive. It’s also paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

However, there are other versions of the 2023 Kia Sportage on their way. There’s the Kia Sportage Hybrid and the Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid SUV. Each of those will likely have a turbocharged 1.6-liter gas engine and an electric motor, just like in the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and the Tucson PHEV. Kelley Blue Book expects that the Kia Sportage Hybrid’s powertrain will make 226 hp and the Sportage PHEV will make 261 hp.

The 2023 Kia Sportage price makes this an attractive SUV for a wide range of people and budgets. Its larger size will certainly make it more family-friendly. Its spaciousness in both the cabin area as well as the cargo section also gives it an advantage over other similarly sized SUVs. Altogether, the 2023 Kia Sportage is one SUV that you’ll want to put on your shopping list.
