London Kia
At London Kia, we know local drivers are always on the lookout for a compact SUV that balances performance, comfort, and everyday practicality, especially when it comes to Ontario winters. The 2025 Kia Sportage is one of those rare models that ticks all the right boxes. Today, we’re taking a closer look at four standout trims: HEV EX, HEV SX, PHEV EX Premium, and PHEV SX.
Starting at $41,630*, the HEV EX trim is a hybrid electric vehicle that’s perfect for Londoners looking to make the switch to a more fuel-efficient SUV without sacrificing comfort. Under the hood is a 1.6-litre turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder engine paired with a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Together, they deliver 177 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, offering strong pickup whether you’re merging onto the 401 or cruising through residential neighbourhoods.
The HEV EX also features All-Wheel Drive, Idle Stop and Go, and Drive Mode Select, giving you control and confidence on slippery roads. On the outside, it’s equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a rear spoiler, and roof rails, adding both function and style. Inside, you’ll find synthetic leather seats, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and a 12.3-inch multimedia interface with navigation. Safety-wise, it includes blind-spot collision avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic alert, lane keep assist, and forward collision-avoidance assist.
For drivers who want a touch more luxury, the HEV SX (starting at $47,330*) builds on the EX’s solid foundation with added comfort and tech. You still get the same hybrid engine but the experience is elevated with upgrades like 19-inch alloy wheels, panoramic sunroof, quilt-pattern synthetic leather seats, and memory driver seat functionality.
The SX trim also brings in more advanced features, including interior LED lighting, ambient mood lighting, a Harman Kardon® premium audio system, and the 12.3" Supervision LCD/TFT instrument cluster. Safety and convenience step up with Remote Smart Park Assist, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, and Blind-spot View Monitor, which is a great tool when backing out of tight spots around Richmond Row or shopping plazas.
Stepping into plug-in hybrid territory, the PHEV EX Premium starts at $50,426* and offers more electric driving range, ideal for short commutes within London without tapping into the gas engine. Its combined output jumps to 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, thanks to a higher-output electric motor and a 360V lithium-ion battery. This means stronger acceleration and lower emissions without compromising capability.
In terms of features, the PHEV EX Premium shares many comforts with the HEV SX. You get a smart power liftgate, projection LED headlights, and LED taillights, along with an interior that includes air-cooled front seats, rear air vents, and also steps up with 19-inch alloy wheels. Its hybrid nature allows excellent fuel savings with a combined fuel economy as low as 2.8 Le/100km.
At the top of the trim ladder is the PHEV SX, priced from $53,426*. This version takes everything the EX Premium offers and adds the finishing touches for a premium experience. You still get the 261 horsepower plug-in hybrid system with All-Wheel Drive, but now with enhanced comfort and cutting-edge safety features.
The PHEV SX adds matte chrome and dark satin trim, premium pedals, premium door scuffs, and a satin chrome interior door handle for an elevated interior feel. Tech lovers will appreciate the Around View Monitor, Highway Drive Assist, and an upgraded Harman Kardon® sound system.
