Kia's Plug-In Hybrid Lineup in Tempe, AZ

Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid

The Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid's precise steering and buttoned-down suspension, which limits body roll, make it agile on the road. This PHEV's battery pack is located low, between the rear wheels, which contributes to improved traction and stability. The ride quality is just right, neither stiff and abrupt nor soft and numb. Moreover, this SUV's tiny size makes it easy to maneuver.

The Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid features a 4-cylinder engine, an electric motor, and an 11.1 kWh battery, producing 180 horsepower. The increased power over the standard Niro hybrid offers the PHEV more punch. The electric motor helps make this plug-in hybrid SUV feel snappy when driving at low speeds, providing fast pickup and acceleration. Meanwhile, the six-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly between gears.

The Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid is ideal for individuals and families who value the ability to drive emissions-free. This vehicle also won't give you range anxiety.

The total system output is 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The Sportage PHEV's maximum towing capability is modest, at 2,000 pounds with trailer brakes and 1,653 pounds without.
