The Kia Sportage Turbo HEV Is A High Breed Of Hybrid
Hybrids can have different breeds. Some, these are mostly from Japanese brands, aim for fuel efficiency. Then, there are some, who feel sporty but a bit arcade-ish; they’re fast, but the engagement just isn’t there. Kia manages to combine the two with their Turbo Hybrid system. Only, they’ve made it better in the Sportage. Their global best-selling model has finally arrived in the Philippines and after two days of driving it, it’s easy to understand why many are flocking towards it. It drives the fine line of efficiency and sportiness without much effort.

First Drive: 2026 Kia Sportage Turbo Hybrid
The Sportage has been the subject of one of Kia’s longest teases in the market. The fifth-generation model, first launched globally in 2021, was under consideration for local sale as early as 2023 (we got to drive it in Korea then too). Since then, Kia Philippines got cold feet entering the compact SUV segment and opted to concentrate its efforts elsewhere. But now, it’s definitely coming back.

Review: 2019 Kia Sportage GT-Line Diesel
Filipino car buyers are a cruel, finicky bunch. When Kia’s then distributor launched the fourth-generation Sportage in 2016, they brought along a well-loaded GT-Line trim equipped with a diesel engine and all-wheel drive. It sure had all the ingredients for success until everyone saw the price tag: P 1.795 million. After that, the complaints all rolled in: too expensive, ill-equipped, etc. Well, here’s news for you: three years later, the refreshed Sportage is out. Now sold by Kia’s new distributor, guess what? It’s actually more expensive, and that’s not even considering it’s lost all-wheel drive in the process.
