Why You Should Consider a Hybrid or Electric Vehicle from Kia

Kia Hybrid or Electric

If you've been researching a new hybrid or EV, you may have noticed that Kia hybrids and electric vehicles are attracting plenty of attention and praise. Kia is dedicated to electric innovation and currently offers 9 hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicle models. Your local Kia dealer is a wealth of information on hybrids and EVs, with trained sales staff, experienced technicians, and EV chargers available for use.

The Advantages of Hybrids and Electric Vehicles

Whether you're looking to lower your daily driving expenses, reduce your impact on the environment, or both, a hybrid or electric vehicle is a great way to achieve those goals. While hybrid vehicles still use gasoline, they also have an electric motor and battery that is recharged during normal use, making them far more efficient than their gasoline-only counterparts. EVs replace gasoline fill-ups with electric charging, eliminating vehicle emissions completely.

Since EVs typically offer less range (how far a vehicle can travel on a full charge) than gasoline-powered vehicles, some drivers prefer the convenience of hybrids. Plug-in hybrids offer the best of both, with a rechargeable battery that can power short daily drives without using gasoline, plus a hybrid gasoline engine for longer road trips. Today, electrified vehicle options are more practical than ever, with increasing ranges and more than 40,000 public charging stations throughout the United States.

Why Choose Kia Hybrids and EVs

Kia is a leader in the world of electrified vehicles, with 9 impressive vehicles of all sizes to choose from. The Niro is available as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or EV, while the Sportage and Sorento are both available in hybrid or plug-in hybrid form. Kia also has two EV-only SUVs, the 5-passenger EV6 and the 3-row EV9. Kia EVs offer up to 310 miles of electric range, plus they're powerful and fun to drive.

No matter which hybrid or electric Kia you purchase, your battery is protected with a 10-year or 100,000-mile (whichever comes first) limited warranty.
