Future-Ready: 2024 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid Trim Levels

With its modern design, spacious interior, and efficient drivetrain, the 2024 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid is the perfect family runaround and commuter SUV. We delve into the details of the two trim levels to help you decide whether the X-Line or X-Line Prestige best suits your needs.

1. X-Line

First up is the X-Line, a well-equipped base-level compact SUV. At its heart is a 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder engine and an electric motor with a combined output of 261 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. When fully charged, expect to achieve 34 miles on all-electric power before the gas engine kicks in and gives you an impressive EPA-estimated 35 mpg.

Exterior Highlights

The Sportage is a handsome vehicle with its gloss black roof rails, shark fin antenna, and 19-inch gloss black wheels. Kia has incorporated many desirable external features often missing from entry models, such as LED projector headlights, LED daytime running lights, and heated power side mirrors with integrated LED turn signals. Access to the trunk is made easier thanks to a smart power liftgate which can be programmed to open to the optimum height.

Interior Comfort

Entering the X-Line, you’re greeted with SynTex trimmed upholstery and a panoramic sunroof that lets natural light flood the cabin. Kia prioritizes driver comfort by installing a heated 10-way power-adjustable seat with two-way lumbar support and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Important vehicle information is clearly displayed on the 12.2-inch instrument LCD and a 4.5-inch cluster display.

Dominating the central dash is the 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with an integrated navigation system and smartphone compatibility. You and your passengers can keep your devices charged when on the road using the wireless charging pad or USB ports dotted throughout the cabin.

Driver-Assist Features

Kia has equipped the X-Line with a vast array of driver-assist technologies to enhance the driving experience, including forward and blind-spot collision avoidance, rear parking distance alert, speed limit assist, and a rearview camera.

2. X-Line Prestige

The X-Line Prestige has the same styling and drivetrain as the X-Line and improves upon them with luxurious and convenient additions. LED fog lights and LED rear combination taillights improve visibility in low-light situations. A comfort upgrade gives front passengers an eight-way power seat while multi-color LED mood lighting lets you set the ambiance inside the cabin.

Drivers receive a confidence boost from additional safety functions, such as remote smart parking assist, navigation-based smart cruise control, and a 360-degree camera.

From its sleek curves and roomy cargo area to its efficient drivetrain and innovative tech, the Sportage Plug-In Hybrid is the future of compact SUVs. Visit Courtesy Kia in Altoona, PA today and let us help you choose which Sportage will be your new ride.
