The Kia Sportage default powertrain is a 187-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder that mates to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The only all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid available for the Kia Sportage has the same gasoline engine as the standard hybrid but has a stronger electric motor and a larger battery pack.
We expect it to use the same setup as the plug-in hybrid variant of the Hyundai Tucson, so expect a 13.8-kWh battery pack and 261 combined horsepower. Kia sportage
