The Kia Sportage PHEV is priced so well, comes loaded with standard features making it a tough one to beat for value! We have the base model for $44,995 CAD/$38,490 USD and you won’t believe what you get. A 12.3” touchscreen with Navigation, a 4.2” instrument cluster, wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto a wireless charger, heated and ventilated front seats, quilted leatherette upholstery, a power driver and passenger seat, driver seat memory, a heated steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, heated rear seats and a power liftgate.

In the US, there are a few differences, on the base trim Kia Sportage PHEV you get a 12.2” instrument display but you’ll have to move up to the top trim for $42,990 USD to get a power passenger seat, driver seat memory, ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Looking for a few more features? The Canadian top trim of the Kia Sportage Plug-in will cost you an extra $3,400 ($48,395), that’s where you’ll find, projection LED headlights, a 12.3” digital instrument cluster, Harman Kardon Sound System, a surround view monitor, remote park assist, highway driving assist and rear parking collision avoidance assist.

It earns a combined city/highway rating of 2.8Le/100km, 84 MPGe. With the battery depleted it gets 6.7L/100km, 35 MPG combined. This Kia Sportage plug-in hybrid qualifies for the Canadian Federal rebate of $5,000 and incentives in participating provinces.
