Fuel-sipping SUV takes on dominant RAV4

Hybrid sales are booming and Toyota dominates the market, but its overwhelming success has bred a new generation of well-credentialed rivals.The popular car maker originally planned to sidestep hybrids and move straight into EVs, but strong customer demand for petrol-electric cars has prompted a rethink.

Buyers have two options: the mid-tier Sportage SX Hybrid we’ve tested or the fully-loaded GT-Line variant. Both are front-wheel drive only.Prices start at about $50,500 drive-away for the SX and jump to more than $60,000 for the top-shelf model – a hefty premium over the petrol-powered versions. It’s a bold looking SUV with jagged LED headlights, a prominent front grille and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Step up to the GT-Line and there are faux-leather and suede power-adjustable front seats that are heated and ventilated, a driver display with multiple layouts and a wireless device charger.
