overall

Summary
With 244 currently listed for sale and an average price of $28,946, 38.9% of 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrids for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: CarGurus experts gave it a 7.17 / 10.

Why it stands out
The 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid Plug-In stands out as a way to experience electric driving without giving up gasoline convenience. Its plug-in hybrid setup is designed to handle a typical commute on electricity alone, then switch to gasoline for longer trips, and recharging the battery overnight can help reduce fuel use. That makes it appealing for buyers who want the flexibility of a conventional vehicle with some of the benefits of an EV.
Beyond the powertrain concept, this Sportage is described as having stylish design, impressive technology, and a great warranty. Those strengths give it broad appeal, especially for shoppers who value a modern look and a strong ownership package. At the same time, it is not without drawbacks: the ride and handling are sloppy, the backseat is uncomfortable, and the interior materials feel cheap.

Is the 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid a good car?
The expert rating is 7.17/10, and the model scores 8/10 across Technology and Safety.
The overview points to a plug-in hybrid setup that lets you drive on electricity for a typical commute, then switch to gasoline for longer trips, so you get EV-like flexibility without giving up conventional fueling. It also highlights stylish design, impressive technology, and a great warranty, which broadens its appeal if you want a modern compact SUV with a strong ownership package.
The trade-offs are real: the ride and handling are sloppy, the backseat is uncomfortable, and the interior materials feel cheap. That means you should like the powertrain concept and tech-forward feel enough to accept some comfort and refinement compromises.
The market still looks healthy, with 40.0% of listings marked as good or great deals.
Is the 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid reliable?
The overview leans on the Sportage Plug-In Hybrid’s ability to handle a typical commute on electricity alone, then use gasoline for longer trips, which suggests a straightforward ownership pattern if you can charge regularly. The expert review also describes the powertrain as satisfying thanks to the turbocharged gas engine, the immediate thrust of the electric motor, and the traditional six-speed automatic transmission.
On the cost side, the plug-in hybrid can recharge in two hours on a 240-volt Level 2 charger, and Kia includes a one-year complimentary subscription to Kia Connect services Ultimate plan. That helps the ownership experience, especially if you value connected features and remote access.
For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the added plug-in complexity and charging dependence can make ownership less convenient if you cannot reliably charge at home.
What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still run a vehicle history report, confirm the battery and charging setup work as expected, and prioritize a test drive on rough pavement to judge ride quality. Pay close attention to cabin condition too, since the interior materials are described as feeling cheap and some surfaces may show wear more quickly.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The Sportage Plug-in Hybrid sits at the top of the lineup and comes only in X-Line and X-Line Prestige trim levels. The X-Line Prestige adds more advanced driver-assistance features and a more upscale tech presentation, while the base X-Line is the entry point if you want the plug-in system at the lower price.
- Powertrain: You get a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, a 66.9-kilowatt electric motor, and a 13.8-kilowatt-hour lithium polymer battery pack. The setup is tuned for strong low-speed response and can tow up to 2,000 pounds.
- Safety package: Every model includes Kia Drive Wise with forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, blind-spot assist, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, automatic high-beam headlights, rear parking sensors, a rear-seat reminder system, and Safe Exit Warning. The X-Line Prestige adds intersection collision warning with automatic braking, front and rear parking sensors, automatic rear braking, and a camera-based Blind-Spot View Monitor.
- Infotainment: You get a 12.3-inch digital gauge display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, plus wired Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, navigation, Kia Connect services Ultimate plan, and a digital key feature. X-Line Prestige also adds a Harman Kardon premium sound system with eight speakers.
- Fuel efficiency: The plug-in hybrid can travel 32 miles on electricity, and the review recorded 40.3 mpg over a 78.4-mile evaluation drive. Kia says a 240-volt Level 2 charger can recharge it in two hours, while a standard household outlet can take much longer.
Which 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid trim should I buy?
The 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid is offered in 2 trim levels: X-Line and X-Line Prestige.
Here's the short version:
- X-Line: This is the entry point to the plug-in hybrid lineup, so it makes sense if you want the PHEV powertrain and standard all-wheel drive without paying for the extra luxury and driver-assistance upgrades.
- X-Line Prestige: This is the best-value trim if you want the fullest version of the Sportage Plug-In Hybrid experience. It adds the more advanced safety tech, the Blind-Spot View Monitor, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, Highway Driving Assist, and the Harman Kardon audio system.
Every Sportage PHEV includes the Kia Drive Wise safety suite, and the X-Line Prestige adds several notable upgrades on top of that.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid?
This looks like a buyer-friendly moment if you want to shop carefully and compare listings.
- Deal availability: 40.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 240 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 3.80% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 88.8% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $28,390, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid's resale value?
The current average of $28,923 sits slightly below last year's $30,065.
That tells you the market has moved in a buyer-friendly direction, which can help you negotiate now but may also mean softer resale if you plan to sell soon. The year-over-year decline suggests this model year has already absorbed some depreciation, so future value will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and whether the plug-in system has been well maintained.
If you buy at the right price and keep the vehicle in strong shape, you can reduce the sting of that depreciation. But if you overpay today, the softer trend makes it harder to recover that money later.
Is the 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid safe?
The 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid earns a Good result from IIHS crash testing, though it had not been named a Top Safety Pick at the time of review.
It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.
Every Sportage PHEV includes Kia Drive Wise, with forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, blind-spot assist, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, automatic high-beam headlights, rear parking sensors, a rear-seat reminder system, and Safe Exit Warning. The X-Line Prestige adds intersection collision warning with automatic braking, front and rear parking sensors, automatic rear braking, and a camera-based Blind-Spot View Monitor.
Highway Driving Assist is a standout feature on the X-Line Prestige, but it is a hands-on system that can allow too much driver disengagement, so you should still treat it as an aid rather than a substitute for attention.
Should I buy a 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2023 if:
- 40.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 3.80% compared with last year.
- The 2023 stands out for its plug-in hybrid flexibility, strong tech, and broad ownership appeal.
The bottom line: The 2023 is the right pick if you want the redesigned Sportage Plug-In Hybrid’s mix of electric commuting range, standard AWD, and advanced tech. If you’re mainly shopping on price, the softer market and good-deal inventory make this a sensible year to target; just be sure the specific listing is in strong condition and priced near the lower end of the range.
