Here at Phil Long Kia in Colorado Springs, Colorado, we're thrilled to present the groundbreaking 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid. Combining sophisticated design, a 232-horsepower turbocharged hybrid powertrain, and class-leading cargo space, it is perfectly suited for Colorado's diverse driving conditions. From navigating city streets with up to an EPA-estimated 42 MPG HWY to exploring mountain roads with a total driving range of up to 561 miles, the 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid delivers an exceptional experience that goes the distance.

Hybrid Powertrain & Efficiency

The 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid is built for more. It comes standard with a 1.6-liter turbocharged hybrid powertrain that produces a robust 232 horsepower alongside a class-leading 271 lb.-ft. of torque. This dynamic system delivers smooth, instantaneous power while maximizing your fuel economy.

Front-wheel drive (FWD) trims—including the LX, S, and EX—boast an EPA-estimated 40/42/41 MPG (City/Highway/Combined). If you opt for an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) configuration to tackle Colorado's weather, you'll still enjoy a highly efficient EPA-estimated 35/36/35 MPG rating. With a Kia-estimated total driving range of up to 561 miles, you'll spend more time exploring and less time at the pump.

Performance Capabilities & Drivetrain Options

Beyond its impressive powertrain, the 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid delivers exceptional driving dynamics. The available All-Wheel Drive system features a Multi-Terrain Mode Selector, allowing you to fine tune performance for mud, snow, and sand. Paired with 8.3 inches of ground clearance, AWD models are perfectly equipped to navigate trails, unplowed streets, and rocky paths alike.

For those seeking maximum utility, the X-Line trim steps it up with exclusive blackout exterior styling and high-utility roof rails to help you secure gear, bikes, or a cargo box for your next Rocky Mountain adventure.

Exterior Design

Make your presence known. The 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid features modern and rugged front and rear-end designs, illuminated by standard vertical LED headlights with distinct amber DRLs and bold LED taillights. You have a choice of 17, 18, and 19-inch wheel designs to match your style.

For a more aggressive look, the X-Line trim includes exclusive blackout exterior styling and a panoramic sunroof to let in the Colorado sunshine. Flush mounted roof rails keep the profile sleek, while the available high-utility rails ensure you're ready to haul.

Interior Design and Comfort

Step inside the 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid and experience premium comfort and unmatched utility. With a class-leading cargo capacity of 39.5 cubic feet behind the second row, and standard folding seats to expand that space even further, hauling gear is a breeze. Passengers will also love the class-leading 41.3 inches of second-row legroom.

Comfort amenities are plentiful, with available premium quilted SynTex seating trim, a heated steering wheel, and ambient interior lighting. Depending on your trim, you can enjoy heated and ventilated front seats, a memory driver's seat, and heated outboard seats in the second row for chilly winter mornings.

Technology and Infotainment

The tech suite in the 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid centers around an available 24-inch total combined Panoramic Display setup (a 12.3-in. instrument display and a 12.3-in. touchscreen). Standard Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integrate your smartphone seamlessly, and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates keep your infotainment up to date.

Audiophiles will appreciate the available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio system, while drivers benefit from the Head-Up Display (HUD) that projects navigation directly onto the windshield. Additional conveniences include Digital Key 2.0 functionality, wireless smartphone charging, and a hands-free Smart Power Liftgate.
