Kia Sportage Hybrid 2024 GT-Line review (HEV)

Is the Kia Sportage Hybrid the knockout blow for the Toyota RAV4 hybrid?

It may be in some ways, but it doesn't offer the range of models or the all-wheel-drive option of its arch-rival... but it is really, really good in a lot of ways.

From the turbo-hybrid petrol-electric powertrain, to the space utilisation and practicality, to the seven-year warranty plan - there's a lot to like about the Kia Sportage HEV hybrid.

I've tested the GT-Line model in this review and think it stacks up well as a luxury midsize SUV alternative, but it has pretty high service pricing and some other quirks.
