New 2023 Kia Sportage - The Most Reliable Compact SUV
![]() | ![]() | ![]() Best-in-Class Cargo Space |
Since the Sportage had the least number of issues in these problem areas, J.D. Power named it the most reliable compact SUV - beating out the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and all other vehicles in the segment.
Along with the Sportage, the Kia brand fared well in the study. J.D. Power recognized it as the third most reliable car brand - and tops for reliability for mainstream brands. Other Kia models were honored as well. This includes the Forte and Optima, which earned the top spots for compact cars and midsize cars, respectively. Also, the Sedona earned second place for minivan reliability, while the Sorento took the second spot for three-row midsize SUVs.
The 2023 Kia Sportage is even better for the new model year with a superb redesign. It has a stylish new look, with a more technical tiger nose grille, boomerang daytime running lights, angular fenders, and notch-shaped taillights.
The attractive design continues into the cabin, which is more modern and refined. There are also new technologies, such as the massive dual panoramic curved display with two 12.3-inch screens. Plus, the redesigned Sportage experienced a growth spurt, resulting in more interior space. This includes class-leading rear cargo space (39.6 cu-ft) and rear legroom (41.3 inches).
Furthermore, the Sportage offers new hybrids models, which deliver high fuel economy. The standard hybrid model gets an estimated gas mileage of up to 43 combined mpg, while the plug-in hybrid gets up to 84 MPGe in electric-only mode and 35 combined mpg in hybrid mode. Plus, for adventure-seeking drivers, there are new off-road models with the rugged X-Pro and X-Pro Prestige trims.
The 2023 Kia Sportage is a compact SUV with excellent reliability. It tops all other compact SUVs on the J.D. Power most reliable list, including the 2023 Toyota RAV4 and the 2023 Honda CR-V.
