While the Sportage Hybrid mostly shadows its Tucson Hybrid cousin, there is one key difference: You can get the Kia with front-wheel drive, as shown here, while the Hyundai is only offered in all-wheel drive. That's why the entry-level Kia Sportage Hybrid is both thousands cheaper and significantly more fuel-efficient than its platform-mate. In fact, this front-drive Sportage Hybrid is only a bit more expensive than the standard Sportage with its lackluster 2.5-liter engine. We don't recommend the 2.5, but we definitely dig the Hybrid.
Adding all-wheel drive only costs $1,800 and still leaves you with a healthy 38-mpg rating and plenty of acceleration. But the base front-drive Sorento Hybrid does have a notable advantage on the fuel-economy front.
