  • Sportage LX, S, and EX — Equipped with the standard 2.4L four-cylinder Sportage engine, the non-turbo trims deliver up to 23 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. All-wheel drive capability lowers the Sportage mpg slightly, to 21 city and 25 highway.
  • Sportage SX Turbo — With an upgraded  turbo 2.0L four-cylinder engine, the top Sportage trim earns an EPA-estimated 20 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. Available all-wheel drive trades all-weather traction for a lower 19 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.
