In a region like Auburn, WA—where city sophistication meets the call of the Pacific Northwest wilderness—the 2025 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid fits in seamlessly. Blending cutting-edge hybrid engineering with elevated design and premium features, the latest Sportage PHEV offers more than efficiency—it offers purpose. At Sunset Kia of Auburn, it’s not just a vehicle; it’s a compelling alternative to traditional luxury SUVs.

Trim Levels (Exterior)

For 2025, the Sportage Plug-In Hybrid is available in two distinct trims: X-Line AWD and X-Line Prestige AWD. Each one is crafted with intention, bringing forward a rugged yet polished silhouette tailored for both urban errands and scenic detours. The X-Line carries a confident presence with gloss black trim, a satin chrome surround on the signature tiger-nose grille, and 19-inch alloy wheels with a gloss black finish that nods to sophistication without overstating it. Roof rails and a panoramic sunroof come standard, reinforcing its adventurous stance. Stepping up to the X-Line Prestige, you’re rewarded with enhancements that elevate the SUV’s aesthetic and utility. LED fog lights, LED rear combination taillights, and high-utility features like Solar Control Glass hint at the attention to detail Kia has placed throughout the Prestige build.

Engine (Power)

Beneath the refined sheet metal, the Sportage Plug-In Hybrid houses a 1.6L Turbocharged GDI I4 engine paired with a 66.9 kW electric motor. This hybrid powertrain delivers a commanding 261 hp and 258 lbs.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful Sportage variant available. The system is anchored by a 13.8 kWh lithium-polymer battery, offering up to 34 miles of all-electric range—ideal for daily commutes or errand loops in Auburn without ever tapping the gas. Recharging is efficient too: with a 7.2 kW onboard charger, a Level 2 charger can restore the battery in about 2 hours.

Performance

The Sportage Plug-In Hybrid's AWD system is standard across both trims, offering confident grip in Washington’s often unpredictable weather. Whether navigating rain-slicked city streets or climbing the switchbacks outside of Mount Rainier National Park, the Sportage’s 6-speed automatic transmission ensures a composed, balanced drive. Kia’s hybrid tuning is deliberate here. Transitions between electric and gas power are nearly imperceptible, offering smooth and silent takeoffs in EV mode with instant torque delivery. The regenerative braking system adds further efficiency without compromising comfort—braking remains progressive and refined. With a combined MPGe rating of 84, the 2025 Sportage PHEV doesn’t just reduce trips to the pump—it redefines what hybrid performance can feel like.

Interior

Inside, the cabin delivers on the promise of premium. Space for 5-passengers, tech-forward, and supremely quiet, it’s a retreat in motion. Both trims come with SynTex seating, but the Prestige elevates comfort with ventilated front seats, driver memory settings, and a Harman Kardon® premium audio system. Dominating the dash is Kia’s panoramic curved display, which unifies the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 12.3-inch touchscreen into a single high-resolution interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ remain conspicuously absent, but seamless device integration is still available via USB and Bluetooth®. The rear seats fold nearly flat, expanding to 65.5 cu. ft. of cargo space for weekend escapes or bulk grocery runs. At every angle, the interior is thoughtfully built around versatility, with a level of sophistication that comfortably rivals European crossovers.

Safety Features

Kia’s Drive Wise safety suite comes standard, and in true form, it’s impressively thorough. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist all work together to build a cocoon of awareness around the vehicle. Prestige models offer additional layers of protection, including 360 Surround View Monitor, Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist – Front/Reverse, and Highway Driving Assist, which introduces a semi-autonomous feel on longer stretches of I-5 or I-405.
