Kia Sportage Comparison

A facelifted Kia Sportage is on the way, but the 2025 model year (MY25) version of this popular mid-sized SUV remains unchanged.

The MY25 range continues to start at $32,995 before on-road costs for the entry-level Sportage S manual, with the flagship GT-Line HEV priced at $55,420 before on-road costs.

Following the introduction of the Sportage HEV earlier this year, the lineup now includes four powertrains, all with four cylinders: a naturally aspirated petrol, a turbocharged petrol, a turbo-diesel, and a turbo-petrol hybrid.

Although there are no changes for the new model year, recent spy photos suggest an upcoming mid-cycle update will introduce refreshed styling at the front and rear.

The updated model is also expected to feature a third interior screen, enhancing the existing digital instrument cluster and infotainment display.

The Sportage continues to be Kia’s best-selling model in Australia, with 10,474 units sold in the first half of 2024.

This sales performance also positions it as the fourth best-selling vehicle in its segment, trailing only the Toyota RAV4, Mitsubishi Outlander, and Mazda CX-5.
