Is the 2025 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid a Good SUV?
"The Sportage PHEV is less of an obvious win than the non-plug-in Sportage Hybrid, but don't overlook it. The PHEV's electric range and fuel economy are competitive, if not class-leading, while there's plenty of power on tap and plenty of technology in the cabin. We're not sold on this Kia's styling, but the very similar Hyundai Tucson PHEV gives you an alternative if you like the package otherwise."—Ranked #2 out of 9 Compact Plug-In-Hybrid SUVs
