At Ferguson Kia, we’re thrilled to share that the 2025 Kia Sportage Hybrid has been named the Best Hybrid Compact SUV for the Money by Cars.com, securing this prestigious award for the second year in a row. This recognition highlights the Sportage Hybrid’s unbeatable combination of efficiency, affordability, and premium features, making it a standout choice for drivers in the Broken Arrow area and beyond.

“Kia’s commitment to delivering value-packed, innovative vehicles shines through in the Sportage Hybrid,” said Steven Center, COO & EVP, Kia America. “This award reflects Kia’s dedication to providing a diverse lineup that balances performance, advanced technology, and striking design without compromise.” [1]

Cars.com’s Best Hybrids for the Money list evaluates non-plug-in hybrid vehicles based on an efficiency-cost rating, which divides the EPA’s combined mpg rating by the vehicle’s base price (including MSRP and destination fees). The 2025 Sportage Hybrid topped the compact SUV category, offering exceptional fuel economy and a competitive starting price that delivers outstanding value.

“The Kia Sportage Hybrid stands out for its impressive fuel efficiency and budget-friendly price point,” noted Jennifer Geiger, Cars.com News Editor. “With its spacious interior and cutting-edge technology, it’s no surprise the Sportage Hybrid is a top pick for value-conscious buyers seeking a compact SUV.” [1]

The 2025 Sportage Hybrid continues to impress customers with its blend of practicality and innovation, and Kia is already looking ahead. The recently unveiled 2026 Kia Sportage takes things to the next level with a bold redesign, enhanced technology, and a focus on convenience. Available in three powertrain options—internal combustion engine (ICE), Turbo Hybrid (HEV), and Turbo Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV)—the 2026 Sportage offers something for everyone, including the adventure-ready X-Line and X-Pro Prestige trims built for rugged exploration.
