Engine Specs and Fuel Economy
The 2025 Kia Sportage delivers an ideal blend of power and efficiency, featuring a choice of three engine options meant to suit the various needs of customers all over Fresno, Visalia, Madera and Hanford. First, the base engine is a traditional gas-powered 2.5-liter four-cylinder that shells out 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. Next up is the attractive hybrid set-up of a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with two electric motors for a combined 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This setup, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, is available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, offering both strong acceleration and impressive fuel savings. In fact, the 2025 Kia Sportage Hybrid outpaces its gas-powered counterpart, achieving a 0-60 mph time of just 6.9 seconds, nearly half a second quicker. Where this hybrid truly excels is fuel economy—the FWD model leads the pack with an impressive 42 mpg in the city and 44 mpg on the highway, while the AWD version still delivers a solid 38 mpg combined. The third option is a plug-in hybrid variant of the 1.6-liter turbocharged engine that offers a combined 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. With an estimated all-electric range of 34 miles, this baby can fully charge in under two hours with a level 2 charger and is only available as all-wheel drive.
