Hybrids
Kia’s selection of hybrid models enhances your fuel economy to help your vehicle go further on a single tank of gas. This method provides an extended drive range and does not require charging since these typically include regenerative braking technology, much like many EVs on the market.
The Sorento Hybrid is a popular three-row hybrid that gets up to 37 combined miles per gallon when in front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available. This is an excellent option for families wanting better gas mileage while ensuring everyone has a seat!
The Sportage Hybrid is a sleek SUV that’s focused on performance. This vehicle offers up to 43 combined MPG and delivers a best-in-class 227 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This SUV is also available with AWD.
The Niro Hybrid provides crossover versatility and hybrid performance for a unique and fuel-efficient drive. It gets up to a combined 53 miles per gallon and a total driving range of 588 miles.

PHEV
Kia’s current PHEV lineup is very similar to their hybrid vehicles. However, plug-in hybrids provide the best of both worlds, allowing you to utilize all-electric capability for shorter drives or hybrid flexibility for longer trips. You can charge these vehicles at home with the ChargePoint Level 2 Home Charger and manage them with the smartphone application. If you need to charge on the go, you can do so with the Webasto Go Portable Charger. This device has adaptors for both 120V and 240V outlets.
The Sorento PHEV supplies a 32-mile all-electric range for those quick trips into town. This vehicle also gets a combined 79 miles per gallon estimate, ensuring optimal gas mileage in this three-row ride.
If you want less seating and more styling, check out the Sportage PHEV! This vehicle gets a combined 84 MPGe for outstanding fuel efficiency and 34 miles of all-electric range.
The Niro PHEV features a unique drive-by with a low center of gravity for excellent handling and an enjoyable ride. This vehicle also offers 33 miles of all-electric driving and a combined 108 MPGe, ensuring you get the most out of your tank.
Each of these hybrid vehicles offers a fun, unique, and versatile drive. This diverse lineup ensures your drive is tuned to your lifestyle and fits your exact needs. Stop by Crain Kia of Fort Smith in Fort Smith, AR, to find your Kia Hybrid!
