For car manufacturers, the name of the game is sustainability. With more focus on green energy, automakers are pushing cars with hybrid or fully electric capabilities. Kia has a robust lineup of eco-friendly vehicles this year, including the Kia Niro Hybrid, Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid, Kia Niro EV, Kia Soul EV, and Kia Sorento Hybrid. Embracing a Sustainable Future 2023 Kia Niro Hybrid The Niro Hybrid is the first of the Niro versions available in 2023. The Niro is a top-class yet affordable hybrid SUV that runs on a 1.6-liter engine with an electric motor and a six-speed automatic transmission. Regenerative braking technology and clever engineering help this hybrid model get an impressive electric driving range of 479 to 588 miles. The combined EPA estimate for this car is 49 to 53 MPG. 2023 Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid The Niro Plug-In Hybrid version has the same sporty exterior and standard features as the regular hybrid, but some drivers prefer a plug-in hybrid because the electric motor doesn't need to be charged as often. With an estimated 108 MPGe, 510 miles of total driving range, and 33 miles of all-electric driving range, this plug-in hybrid is an excellent choice for a sustainable drive. 2023 Kia Niro EV Fully electric vehicles like the Niro EV are becoming more popular and more affordable. The EPA estimates that the Niro EV has a range of 253 miles, which can increase to 253 when drivers use a DC fast charger. The Niro EV has zero emissions, but the electric motor doesn't sacrifice any performance power. Drivers can enjoy 201 horsepower from the electric motor and an acceleration speed of zero to sixty in 7.1 seconds. 2023 Kia Soul EV While Kia may be focusing more on the Niro this year, the Soul EV is still an excellent option, especially if you're still a fan of the Soul's boxy exterior. The EV model has two battery options, one of which has an electric range of 171 miles and the other that has a range of 280 miles. 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid The Sorento is another powerhouse SUV in the Kia lineup with an all-electric range of 31 miles, a combined EPA estimate of 79 MPGe, and a 460-mile extensive range. Along with all the other impressive features included with the base Sorento trim, drivers can also enjoy 261 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque with this hybrid SUV. Whether you want to ease into sustainable driving with a hybrid car or you're ready to embrace a fully electric vehicle, Kia has plenty of options to consider.
