If you’re in the market for an efficient Kia SUV, we’ve got you covered! Kia has three brilliant SUVs that are available with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, each offering distinct benefits and their own appealing style.
The smallest hybrid SUV in the Kia lineup is the Niro crossover. The Niro Hybrid starts at $26,940 MSRP and comes with a wealth of desirable features.[1] With its hybrid powertrain, this SUV gets up to 54 mpg on the highway.[2] All trims except the base level are outfitted with a large 10.25-inch touch-screen display, remote start, Kia Connect, and a wireless phone charger. The exterior features a contrasting black Aeroblade that gives the vehicle a constant sense of motion, even when parked.
Similarly, the Niro Plug-In Hybrid — or Niro PHEV — also features the Aeroblade on its exterior. Starting at $34,390, you do get a bit more with this option, though, including better fuel economy.[1] You can expect to get up to 108 MPGe and an all-electric range of 33 miles in the Kia Niro PHEV.[2] Additional highlights of this model include 17 standard driver-assistance features, best-in-class rear legroom, heated front seats, and an available Harman Kardon® premium audio system.
If you need a little more room in your new hybrid SUV, consider the Kia Sportage. The Sportage Hybrid starts at $28,590 and has a class-leading 74.1 cubic feet of total cargo space (compared to the Niro Hybrid’s 63.7 cubic feet).[1] When it comes to efficiency, the Sportage HEV gets up to 44 mpg on the highway due to its larger size and best-in-class 227 horsepower.[2] In addition to offering more power, the 2024 Sportage Hybrid also offers class-leading second-row legroom, which is ideal if you have older kids or need room for adults in the back.
The Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid starts at $39,590 and is even more powerful than the hybrid Sportage.[1] This PHEV can reach up to 261 horsepower with its efficient powertrain, which gets 34 all-electric miles and up to 84 MPGe combined.[2] Between the two trims of the Sportage PHEV, you’ll find various upscale amenities like a standard 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment, heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof with a power sunshade, and a large 12.3-inch touch-screen display with navigation.
With three rows of seating, the Kia Sorento Hybrid starts at $36,990 and is equipped with 13 standard driver-assist features to keep you and your family safe.[1] With its hybrid powertrain, the Sorento HEV gets up to 35 mpg on the highway and 227 horsepower.[2] This Kia SUV also comes with a Drive Mode Select system with four modes: Comfort, Sport, Eco, and Smart; an available Snow mode is added to all-wheel drive models of the hybrid Sorento. Additional standard highlights include second-row captain’s chairs, front and rear parking sensors, LED fog lights, and a Smart Power Tailgate.
The Sorento Plug-In Hybrid, much like its Sorento PHEV sibling, offers exceptional efficiency and some thrilling power behind the wheel. This Kia SUV starts at $50,290 and features best-in-class passenger room and best-in-class second-row legroom.[1] You can expect to reach up to 261 horsepower thanks to the turbocharged engine. You’ll also get up to 32 all-electric miles on a single charge and 79 MPGe combined.[2] Available in a single trim, this plug-in hybrid Kia SUV comes with a long list of features like a 12-speaker Bose® premium audio system, a 360-degree Surround View Monitor, all-wheel drive with a center-locking differential, and Smart Key with remote start.
