Kia Electric and Hybrid Models

Kia is moving more and more to an electrified future thanks to several new vehicles on the market today. All of them are SUVs. We’ll go over the best hybrid Kia models, including the Kia hybrid SUVs on our lot and the best Kia EV you can put in your driveway.

Kia EV6

Driving a Kia EV6 is like piloting a spacecraft rather than driving an SUV. The base MSRP starts at $48,700. But once you get behind the wheel, it will seem like a bargain based on everything you get from one of the best KIA EVs you can buy. The 2023 model was named the North American Utility Vehicle of the Year™. It may look like an SUV, but it acts a lot like a sedan in terms of the handling and zip.

The Kia EV6 is an all-electric crossover with an impressive set of performance specs, whether you need a new vehicle for a daily commute or weekly errands:

• 310-mile range
• 576 hp
• 18 minutes to an 80% charge on a DC Fast Charging station
• 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds!
• Towing capacity of 2,300 pounds

The EV6 isn’t the only vaunted EV or hybrid from Kia.

Kia Niro 

The Kia Niro comes in three models: the hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and full EV version, depending on what fits your lifestyle. All three SUVs are great for daily commutes in Los Angeles, weekly shopping trips, and weekend getaways to the mountains.

Look at the estimated gas mileage or range of the Niro models:

Kia Niro Hybrid: 49 to 53 mpg, total range of 479-588 miles

Kia Niro PHEV: 33 miles on electric, 108 mpge combined, 180 hp

Kia Niro EV: 253 miles of range, 113 mpge, 201 hp

The EV has a very affordable base price of $39,500 if you want an all-electric family SUV in your garage.

Kia Sorento Hybrid & PHEV

The Kia Sorento is the automaker’s classic SUV. It’s been updated for 2023 with the Kia Sorento Hybrid and PHEV models that are full-size SUVs with plenty of cargo and passenger space for cross-country summer treks and weekly shopping trips around Southgate.

The turbocharged hybrid powertrain gives you an astounding high 655 miles of combined range using the hybrid and gasoline engines in concert with each other. The regular hybrid gets a best-in-class 35/39 city/highway mpg, while the PHEV gets an estimated 79 mpge. At a starting MSRP of $36,690 for the hybrid and $49,990 for the PHEV, these are two relevant choices for long trips when you need lots of room.

Kia Sportage Hybrid & PHEV

The 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid gets a best-in-class 227 hp to go along with massive cargo room. And at just $27,490 for a starting MSRP, this Kia hybrid SUV is a fantastic choice for families on the go when you want to save on your overall costs of ownership. You’ll get an estimated 43 combined MPG, meaning fewer stops at the gas pump.

Meanwhile, the Kia Sportage PHEV gets 34 miles in all-electric range, perfect for daily commutes. You’ll also see a combined 84 mpge and 430 miles of range for when you need to get more miles behind you on longer trips. This SUV comes standard with 261 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.
