2023 Kia Sportage Named Among Autotrader’s 11 Best New Cars of 2023

Autotrader’s Best New Cars of 2023 have been released. Eleven vehicles were chosen by editors who tested and scored new models being judged using a range of criteria. Interior comfort, build quality, tech features, and driving experience are just a few features specific to lifestyle needs that these editors look for. With so many new and redesigned vehicles for 2023, only models available for purchase within the next nine months were considered. In order to also qualify, the base model had to start below $110,000.

“The latest Sportage is a significant improvement versus the past model and yet another Kia SUV that is best in class.”
“What was once a competent compact SUV has been recast as a stylish, tech-laden, and very attractive competitor in the red-hot compact SUV segment.”
(Brian Moody, Executive Editor for Autotrader)

Of the eleven cars chosen for this award, the 2023 Kia Sportage secured a spot! The 2023 Sportage had a significant redesign in order to be part of Kia’s new global brand transformation, “Movement that Inspires”. This redesigned fifth generation Sportage is available with internal combustion engine, hybrid electric vehicle, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle powertrains.

“We are proud to receive Autotrader’s Best New Car of 2023 recognition for the Kia Sportage.”
“The redesigned Sportage continues to impress adventure seekers and tech-savvy drivers, alike, with its versatility and multi-faceted appeal.”
