2011 Kia Sportage Mild Hybrid

This is a showcase for the world class car to show the new models and concept car at the Paris Motor Show. Kia Sportage Mild Hybrid eco concept showed there. Kia made small changes to the Sportage's body to reduce aerodynamic drag and added low-rolling resistance tires.

The Kia Sportage Mild Hybrid emits just 117 g/km of CO2. Kia did not release fuel economy estimates. But definitely, ased on the latest generation of the South Korean firm's compact SUV model, the concept hooks up Kia's 1.7-liter turbo diesel engine, which produces 115-horsepower and 260Nm of peak torque, to a 5 kW electric motor with a double layer capacitor.
