Offering a large cabin, comfortable ride, and a powerful engine with hybrid efficiency, the 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid is the eco-friendly SUV you'll love to drive. And with the backing of Kia's class-leading 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, you can continue driving worry-free for years to come. Keep reading to discover some of the features that make the Sportage Hybrid both cost-efficient and eco-friendly. 1. Hybrid Engine Behind the Sportage Hybrid's good looks are a 1.6-liter turbo gasoline engine and electric motor with a hybrid battery, which together produce best-in-class 227 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. This combination of motors optimizes efficiency by using the gasoline engine when it's needed, and switching to the electric motor for easier tasks like cruising or downhill driving. A six-speed automatic transmission further optimizes the balance of fuel efficiency and power by shifting gears in response to driver input. You can refine the transmission's responsiveness by choosing from Normal, Smart, Sport, and available Snow Drive Modes. Kia's hybrid technology gives drivers a best-of-both-worlds SUV with plenty of power and up to an estimated 43 MPG combined. 2. Regenerative Braking Whenever your vehicle brakes or decelerates, it produces energy. This energy is lost in conventional gasoline engines, but the Sportage Hybrid recaptures that energy and uses it to recharge the battery. Drivers can choose one-pedal driving, which will decelerate the car as you release the gas pedal, or use paddles on the steering wheel to adjust the amount of regenerative braking. 3. Hybrid Battery Your Sportage Hybrid's battery is made to last and is protected by a 10-year/100,000-mile (whichever comes first) limited warranty. Lithium-ion hybrid batteries typically last 10 to 20 years, and can be recycled at the end of their lifespan. 4. Class-leading Cargo Space With 39.5 cu. ft. of rear cargo space behind the second-row seats, you can take more passengers and gear along on each trip, reducing your carbon footprint. For even more cargo storage, fold the second-row seats flat to reveal 73.7 cu. ft. of space. The available Smart Power Liftgate recognizes your key, giving you the added convenience of hands-free access to the cargo area. 5. Kia Connect With available Kia Connect, you'll be able to use your smartphone to remotely start and stop your vehicle's engine, and lock or unlock doors. You can also use this system to locate your vehicle and get notifications when it's due for routine maintenance. To learn more about the Sportage Hybrid and its features, call or visit Courtesy Kia in Altoona, PA for a test drive and demonstration. Our staff of trained sales consultants is here to answer any questions you may have and assist you throughout your shopping journey.

Customizing your vehicle can help you showcase the pride you have in your ride and create a more comfortable driving experience overall. Keep reading to discover 5 great Kia accessories that can boost your car's performance, give it more off-roading capabilities, and make cleaning a breeze. 1. Cargo Tray A cargo tray is a custom-fit, tough plastic tray that protects your cargo area from spills, grime, and pet hair. This waterproof cover keeps stains off your Kia's upholstery and makes transporting dirty cargo like sports equipment, shoes, and gardening supplies easier than ever. Some trays are foldable so they can be easily removed and put back in to get the most out of your available space. 2. Roof Rack Roof racks are easy to install and give you extra room to safely transport bicycles, canoes, and hard shell cargo carriers. A rack keeps these items out of your trunk and the interior cab, which leaves you more room for passengers and other important items. Transporting heavy items on a rack also helps your vehicle maintain its center of gravity so you can have better control on the road. 3. All-Weather Floor Mats Protecting your Kia's carpeting helps preserve its value and creates a more enjoyable ride. All-weather mats are a great solution to keep water, mud, drink spills, and other damaging substances off your car's floor. These mats are made of durable materials that can be easily rinsed off at the car wash so you don't have to pull your entire carpet out to get it clean. 4. Tow Ability Many Kia SUVs and hatchbacks allow drivers to tow heavy loads, which can be helpful if you need to transport a small boat or travel trailer. If towing is a main concern for you, be sure to check how much weight a vehicle is rated to tow and what additional equipment you may need for the job before making a final decision. 5. Car Cover If you don't have access to covered parking, consider purchasing a custom car cover designed to fit precisely to the body of your vehicle. This protects your car from snow, ice, road grime, and harmful UV rays to reduce wear and tear on the paint and critical vehicle components. About the Kia Certified Program Certified pre-owned Kias go through a meticulous, 164-point inspection that ensures each vehicle is road-ready from top to bottom. When you purchase a Certified Kia, you know you're investing in quality, value, and dependability. Looking for a reliable new or pre-owned Kia?

Jump-starting might look difficult, but it's a very simple process. As your Kia dealer, we want to tell you how to jump-start a car safely and easily. In this example, your Kia will have a healthy battery and jump-start the other vehicle. Locate the Dead Battery This might seem obvious, as most car batteries are under the hood. Some vehicles, however, have a battery and engine in the rear. It's important to know the battery location, as you want to position your Kia, so its battery is as close to the other vehicle's battery as possible. Parking close to the other vehicle makes it easier to connect the jump leads and speeds up the flow of electricity from one battery to the other. Connect the Cables Jumper cables have a red and a black cable. The red cable connects to the positive terminals while the black cable connects to the negative terminal in your battery and acts as a grounding wire in the other vehicle. The cables must be connected in a specific order, as an incorrect connection can prevent the dead battery from recharging or even start a fire. Connect one end of the red cable to the positive terminal on the dead battery, then connect the other end to the positive terminal on your battery. Once this cable is securely connected, attach one end of the black cable to the negative terminal on your battery. The final step is to connect the remaining clamp to the black cable to any unpolished metal surface in the other vehicle's engine. Apply Some Juice Once the cables are in place, start your engine and idle. This will allow electricity to flow into the dead battery. After a few minutes, head to the other vehicle and try to start its engine. If the engine starts, your work is done. If the other engine doesn't start, return to your Kia and allow the engine to idle for another ten to fifteen minutes. It's important to remember that a battery can be affected by the weather. If the weather is very cold, a weak battery will need extra power to overcome the resistance caused by low temperatures. Try and start the other vehicle again. Remove the Cables Once the other engine is running, it's time to disconnect the cables. Jumper cables must be removed in reverse order, starting with removing the black cable from the jumped car. Pack your jumper cables away, and you're now ready to leave. If you'd like ​more information about jump-starting a car, contact us today at Courtesy Kia in Altoona, PA. We ​can also test your battery to ensure it's in good condition and will never leave you stuck and looking for a ​jump-start.
