Buying Guide
The Kia Sportage PHEV suits those who want a spacious family SUV with the ability to cover most daily journeys on electricity, but who still need the range of a petrol engine for commuting or holiday trips. With 70 km of electric range and AWD as standard, it is one of the strongest options in its segment.
Ideal for Swedish winter conditions: The AWD and high ground clearance make the Sportage PHEV a safe choice on snowy or slippery roads. The 13.8 kWh battery also charges quickly – full capacity in just 2 hours with 7.2 kW home charging.
Excellent as a company car: Just like the Ceed PHEV, the Sportage PHEV qualifies for a reduced benefit-in-kind value. Combined with low WLTP consumption (1.1 L/100 km) and a 7-year warranty, it is a popular choice for company cars in the mid-size segment.
If you are looking for a pure electric car with even greater range, we recommend the Kia EV5 (530 km WLTP) or the Kia EV9 (541 km WLTP, 7 seats).
