Once a rare site on Delray Beach roads, Kia hybrids are increasingly popular and affordable, promising to dominate the new electric vehicle market. Kia hybrids help Boca Raton drivers take advantage of clean vehicle technology while still enjoying the benefits of a combustion engine. But what constitutes a hybrid car exactly, and what kind of gas mileage can you expect? Kia Delray covers all things related to Kia hybrids!
Conventional hybrids are well-known as trim options for popular vehicles. These hybrid vehicles use an electric motor as well as a gasoline engine. Often, they come with a technology called Regenerative Braking, which takes the energy created when you put on your brakes and uses it to add power to the electric engine. Lately, vehicles like the Kia Optima Hybrid have fully parallel systems, resulting in massive gains to your mpg ratings without changing the way you drive.
Kia Optima Hybrid: The Kia Optima Hybrid puts an electric motor in one of the most successful Kia sedans in history. And continual updates increase the electric power this sedan delivers by double-digit intervals!
Kia Niro Hybrid: Want a hybrid SUV? The Kia Niro is a forward-thinking crossover that combines hybrid engine specs with the comforts of a spacious SUV. The dual-motor system also comes with an innovative dual-clutch transmission you can switch into Sport Mode for truly zippy performance.
Kia Sorento Hybrid: Part of the 2024 refresh of the Kia Sorento includes the addition of the Kia Sorento Hybrid. It provides seating for seven and is available all-wheel drive.
Kia Plug-In Hybrid Models and Electric Models
Newer innovations in hybrid vehicles for Boynton Beach drivers include Kia plug-in hybrids and all-electric vehicles. What is a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV)? While hybrids and plug-in hybrids use a combination of gas and electric motors, conventional hybrids have gas and electric motors working in tandem. This isn’t the case with a Kia plug-in hybrid, which uses a charger to directly fuel the battery with electricity. This separation means that you can drive a Kia plug-in hybrid using just the electric engine for short distances. It’s a great way to ease into the EV lifestyle. Kia plug-in hybrids include:
Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid: The Kia Sorento PHEV allows you to drive up to 32 miles without using a drop of gasoline! With three rows of seating, this is the Kia PHEV that can conquer the carpool with a gas budget to spare.
Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid: The plug-in version of the Kia Optima Hybrid stores its lithium-ion battery in the trunk while still making room for cargo. You’ll be able to fully charge in under three hours!
Niro Plug-In Hybrid: The Niro Plug-In Hybrid retains all the benefits of this hybrid SUV, like its amenity-heavy interior and dual-clutch transmission. You’ll also benefit from the potential to go fully electric for up to 26 miles on the 2020 model.
Kia Niro EV: The Kia Niro EV is great for West Palm Beach drivers who are ready for a fully electric crossover SUV. This addition to the lineup has an EPA range of up to 253 miles and exemplifies how electric vehicles aren’t just for the ultra-luxury market anymore.
Kia Soul EV: In addition to the Kia Niro EV, the Kia Soul EV puts the all-electric technology for Kia vehicles inside one of Kia’s most popular small cars.
