The overview
The redesigned 2023 Sportage is larger and better equipped than the previous model. It looks to appeal to more shoppers with three new adventure-themed trim levels, a generous roster of active safety equipment, and available upscale amenities, like a large dash display, panoramic roof, and heated windshield. It is available in front- and all-wheel drive. The standard engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an eight-speed automatic transmission. A hybrid version is available and is powered by a 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder engine, which together with its electric drive yields 227 hp. Most controls are easy to use, though the touch-capacitive panel for climate and media systems is annoying. Each Sportage comes with FCW, AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, LKA, LCA, automatic high beams, rear occupant reminder, and rear parking obstruction warning. Options include BSW and RCTW with rear automatic braking and collision avoidance. ACC became standard in 2026.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
