KIA has just unveiled its latest offering to car enthusiasts, the KIA 2024 Sportage. Excitingly, the car manufacturer has shared pricing details for both the 2024 Sportage Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid versions.

KIA's Offer, 2024 Sportage: Price and Key Features

The Hybrid model starts at an affordable $28,290, while the Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) variant, a bit pricier, kicks off at $39,490. These prices do not include the $1,325 destination fee, as reported by SFGate.

In the previous year, the KIA Sportage underwent a comprehensive redesign, receiving a substantial infusion of technology and features in its 2023 iteration. Notable additions include rear seat-mounted airbags in the second row and the adoption of LED projection headlights as standard features.

Drivers can opt for the available 12.3-inch dual panoramic displays, take advantage of the Blind-Spot View Monitor, or enjoy the convenience of the Surround View Monitor.

In terms of fuel efficiency, the hybrid version of the 2024 Sportage is estimated to achieve an impressive 38-43 MPG combined, while the PHEV model maintains a respectable 35 combined MPG and boasts an estimated 34 miles of all-electric range.

Building on the accolades of its predecessor, the 2023 Sportage, which was named "Top Compact SUV" by J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study and ALG Residual Value Awards, the 2024 Sportage has continued to impress.

Market insiders say that this latest version has been carefully updated with improvements to both the inside and the outside, while still staying true to its safety and style goals. In the 2024 Sportage, it's clear that KIA is committed to new ideas and making customers happy.
