kia sportage 2023 hybrid australia

Short answer: Australia didn’t officially get a Kia Sportage Hybrid in 2023—we were stuck with petrol and diesel while other markets smugly sipped less. The global HEV pairs a 1.6‑litre T‑GDi with an electric motor for about 169 kW combined and roughly 350 Nm, running a 6‑speed auto in FWD or AWD. Expect real‑world economy in the mid‑5s to low‑6s L/100 km depending on spec and driving. Grey imports aside, local availability arrived later, so shop carefully and check compliance plates. If you want one now, keep an eye on Tradingpost for used arrivals and new‑model spillover. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
