Model years to avoid

Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid

What it says about you

Opinion

The plug-in version of the striking one. You wanted the looks and the tax position.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

5 model years on record, 18 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has none. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

Every year

  1. 2027 nothing on record 0 complaints
  2. 2026 nothing on record 0 complaints
  3. 2025 0 recalls 6 complaints
  4. 2024 0 recalls 12 complaints
  5. 2023 nothing on record 0 complaints

Source: NHTSA complaints, recalls and investigations, retrieved . A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints — compared against itself rather than against other cars, so popularity and age do not decide the answer.
