Like the ongoing Tucson, the electric motor in the new Sportage hybrid version is sandwiched between the engine and transmission. Speaking of the engine, it gets a 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbo mill that makes a maximum power of 180 PS at 5,500 rpm along with a peak torque of 265 Nm from 1,500 to 4,500 rpm. As for the e-motor it makes 60 PS and 264 Nm of torque. The total system output rests at 230 PS and 350 Nm. All this power is sent to the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Furthermore, SUV also comes with E-Ride tech that uses an e-motor to generate internal force in the opposite direction of the car when passing over speed bumps, which in turn enhances the comfort level. Also, part of the kit is E-Handling wherein the e-motor applies regenerative braking that enhances stability and agility on corner entry/exit.
