It's packing 39mpg and a 500-mile theoretical cruising range, so it should prove popular with frugal crossover fans.

That 39 mpg means that the Sportage Hybrid has a theoretical cruising range of around 500 miles.

It also comes with a good set of standard features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Unfortunately they don't include things like adaptive cruise control, which is an optional extra.

Buyers can also opt for a pair of 12.3-inch displays, which makes for a fairly dramatic interior.

Kia's Sportage Hybrid doesn't have an on-sale date yet, but we'd bet the second quarter of next year.
