The 2024 Kia Sportage updates, which improve the already excellent Sportage, will surely be a hit in the City of Poughkeepsie. The 2024 Sportage arrives with thoughtful improvements, including interior and exterior safety features. Despite being a carryover from 2023, the Sportage has had several changes.

Following a recent interior redesign, the Sportage has class-leading rear legroom and load space. While the new X-Pro models offer a slightly more robust take on the compact SUV, and the new 2.5-liter four-cylinder provides more excellent fuel economy than earlier generations. A stunning dual-screen panoramic display system with two 12.3-inch panels hidden under a single panel is now available on top trims.

2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid Updates
Kia improved the Sportage Hybrid and the gas model. It looks to receive comparable safety improvements. For the 2024 model year, the turbo hybrid powertrain should stay the same. With a total output of 227 horsepower, it can go up to 43 mpg and more than 500 miles on a single gas tank.
