What is the MPG of the 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid?

Fuel economy is usually the first question about the 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid, and the honest answer depends on which drivetrain you choose. The gap between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive is wider than most shoppers expect, and for 2027 more trims can be ordered either way.

Below, our team at Jenkins Kia of Gainesville lays out the official EPA figures for both configurations and what they translate to in driving range. If you have been quoted a different number, it is worth checking the model year before you compare.

2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid MPG
V

Front-wheel-drive versions of the 2027 Sportage Hybrid carry an EPA-estimated rating of 40 MPG city, 42 MPG highway, and 41 MPG combined. That rating applies to the LX, and for 2027 it also applies to the S and EX, both of which can now be ordered in front-wheel drive for the first time. All-wheel-drive models are rated at 35 MPG city, 36 MPG highway, and 35 MPG combined.

Two details keep tripping up comparisons. The first is that the X-Line and SX-Prestige are all-wheel drive only, so the 41 MPG figure can never apply to them. The second is model year: the 2026 front-drive Sportage Hybrid was rated 41 city, 44 highway, and 42 combined, so any 42 MPG combined or 44 MPG highway figure you find is describing last year's car, not this one. The Sportage Hybrid runs on regular unleaded and has no plug, so there is no MPGe rating or electric-only range to factor in.

  • EPA-estimated 40 city/42 highway/41 combined MPG with front-wheel drive
  • EPA-estimated 35 city/36 highway/35 combined MPG with all-wheel drive
  • Front-wheel drive available on LX, S, and EX
  • X-Line and SX-Prestige are all-wheel drive only
  • Runs on regular unleaded gasoline
  • No plug-in charging and no MPGe rating

2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid Driving Range
V

The Sportage Hybrid carries a 13.7-gallon fuel tank across every trim. Kia estimates a total driving range of 561 miles for the front-wheel-drive LX, S, and EX and 480 miles for the all-wheel-drive trims, based on using a full tank.

For Gainesville drivers, the practical effect is that a round trip to Jacksonville or Orlando fits comfortably inside one tank in either configuration. Because it is a self-charging hybrid, the electric motor does its best work in stop-and-go traffic, which is why the city figure sits so close to the highway figure rather than well below it.

  • 13.7-gallon fuel tank on every trim
  • Kia-estimated 561 miles of range with front-wheel drive
  • Kia-estimated 480 miles of range with all-wheel drive
  • 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with a 64-horsepower electric motor
  • 232 combined horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque
  • Six-speed automatic transmission
