i’ve got a 2023 ex hybrid with 27k miles over the last 2 years, and i’m really happy with it. the only other car i’d consider is the hyundai tucson hybrid, but i still prefer the sportage since it comes with a spare tire.
mpg is a bit lower than advertised, but tracking at the pump shows i’m averaging about 37.3 mpg over the 27k miles, so no complaints!
selling a hybrid sxp today to a happy buyer!
picked up an sx phev a few weeks ago. wish kia hadn’t cut corners on auto-folding mirrors. lack of wireless android auto and carplay is also a bit annoying, and i miss the adaptive headlights from my old 2019 tiguan.

why didn’t you stick with the tiguan? i’m looking at the sportage and corolla cross but might keep my 2018 tiguan in the mix.
got the sx-prestige about a month and a half ago and i’ve got no complaints. glad i went with it since i live in a busy area and need the extra cameras for my tight garage (though i’ve already scratched it a bit, but that’s on me!).
bought my 2025 ex hybrid in october and couldn’t be happier. after 2 years with a ford escape hybrid, i wanted something that felt a bit sturdier inside, and the sportage ex trim nails it. the mpg is a little lower than the ford, but it’s worth it for the extra comfort and features. passengers always comment on the space and smooth ride. no regrets so far – just waiting to see how it handles winter weather.
