First Look: Redesigned 2023 Kia Sportage Stunning Interior

The 2023 Kia Sportage received a complete redesign and looks better than ever. The old version was known as a well-equipped small SUV, but the new one is much more. Moreover, the Sportage of 2023 will turn heads toward it instead of away. Let’s take a look at the stunning redesigned 2023 Kia Sportage interior.

Does the 2023 Kia Sportage have a roomy interior?

According to KBB, the Sportage is bigger than ever before thanks to its smaller SUV sibling, the Seltos, taking over the compact segment. Calling it “almost midsize,” KBB says the front seats contain small SUV passenger space. Contrarily, the rear seats are roomier than most rivals. Average-sized adults can ride in the back comfortability, which isn’t always the case for midsize or small SUVs.

In addition, long road trips are easy to handle in the incredibly comfortable Sportage seats. Best of all, even the base LX model has heated front seats. Higher trim levels gain power-adjustable, heated, and cooled front bucket seats for those interested in paying a premium.

Redesigned Sportage interior: Features and technology

For the majority of the Sportage lineup, you’ll find a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine making 187 horsepower under the hood. However, hybrid models get an upgraded 226 horsepower using the 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder engine and an electric motor. Best of all, the PHEV variant makes 261 horsepower and up to 32 miles of all-electric power.

Inside the cabin, a vast, curved screen covers half the dashboard. Although it’ll be hard to notice, it’s actually two screens made up of a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and the same size center infotainment screen. Next, the air vents are angled, offering a sleek, high-tech look. The base LX model will use an 8-inch touchscreen for infotainment, but all other 2023 Kia Sportage models use the same setup. Finally, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot are standard equipment across the lineup.

As for safety, the Sportage uses Kia’s Drive Wise safety system. Furthermore, the automaker’s suite of safety features includes forward-collision avoidance assistance, lane-centering, and a driver attention monitor.

2023 Kia Sportage: Design and materials

On the subject of the Sportage redesign, KBB said, “taking it from a slightly awkward-looking runabout to one of the best-looking compact SUVs on the road.”

Firstly, the slightly larger dimensions of the Kia SUV suit it very well. Combining chevron daytime running lights, a shapely hood, and lines on the doors, the Sportage is smooth and sleek. In addition, higher trim levels gain a two-tone paint job with a contrasting roof.

On the inside, the big, curved screens instantly scream futuristic technology. Next, its seats are made from SynTex or vegan leather, depending on the trim and buyer’s choice. Finally, the seats use two-tone colors, just like the exterior, and a chevron stitching pattern that KBB says “looks pricier than it is.”

How much cargo space does the 2023 Kia Sportage have?

One of the most important features when buying an SUV is cargo capacity. As KBB said, the Sportage stretched enough to come close to midsize SUV territory. Kia’s compact SUV proves it’s approaching midsize with the 39.6 cubic feet of space behind the second-row seats, more than the Toyota RAV4. Fold the seats down, and you’ll have class-leading 74.1 cubic feet of cargo space.

For the 2023 model year, the Kia Sportage looks bigger and better than ever before. Its underwhelming, dull look is gone, and Kia turned it into a sleek, sporty, attractive model. It looks good from the outside, but the interior is exceptionally high quality with a futuristic look and feel. Kia’s compact SUV screams luxury from massive screens across the dash to contrast seat stitching. However, it will not cost you an arm and a leg like a regular luxury model would. Instead, the redesigned 2023 Kia Sportage and its stunning interior start at $25,990.
