The Kia Sportage Turbo-Hybrid is the first Kia and first hybrid electric vehicle to be produced at the Ellabell metaplant. It’s the third vehicle manufactured at the site, since it began production in 2022, joining HMGMA’s electric Hyundai IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 9. While the Sportage Hybrid has been in production in Korea, this is the first time it’s being manufactured in the U.S.
