- Kia has announced pricing for the redesigned 2023 Sportage.

- Pricing for the hybrid starts at $28,505, and a plug-in-hybrid model is coming later.
Like nearly every new model these days, the redesigned 2023 Kia Sportage receives a significant base-price bump over its predecessor. The LX trim starts at $27,205, a $1900 increase over the outgoing 2022 model. The mid-level EX, though, is $29,205, which is actually $400 cheaper than it was last year. A hybrid model is new and starts at $28,505.
The new Sportage’s other trim levels don’t line up neatly with the previous model’s lineup, as Kia has introduced a new X-Line model with an off-road appearance package that starts at $32,005 and comes standard with all-wheel drive. The previous Sportage’s SX Turbo trim with its optional 237-hp engine has also disappeared, as all Sportages now come with a naturally aspirated 187-hp 2.5-liter inline-four, with the front-wheel-drive SX starting at $32,705. All-wheel drive is an $1800 option on the LX, EX, and SX.
The Sportage X-Pro is also a new model that features all-terrain tires and the same appearance tweaks as the X-Line. It starts at $36,205 and offers a Prestige package with extra equipment for $1800. All-wheel drive is standard here too, as you would expect for an off-road model.
The new Sportage hybrid starts at $28,505 for the LX, a $1300 premium over the nonhybrid. All-wheel drive is an $1800 option on the LX hybrid but standard on the EX hybrid, starting at $32,205, and SX Prestige hybrid, starting at $37,405. A plug-in-hybrid model is also set to follow, but we don’t have pricing for that yet.
Kia says that 2023 Sportage models are starting to arrive at U.S. dealerships now, and the hybrid variants will launch later this year.
