Unique 19-inch alloy wheels, gloss black roof rails, satin chrome accents, and special eco plug-in badging add upscale touches that elevate the Sportage's head-turning style.

Inside the Sportage Plug-In Hybrid's cabin, you'll find a refined, modern interior with premium materials, technology, and thoughtful amenities throughout. The driver-centric cockpit features a sculpted dashboard with an integrated 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment display, placing important information and controls within easy reach.
