The all-new Niro range starts with the Hybrid, powered by a Smartstream 1.6-litre GDi petrol engine and assisted by a 43bhp electric motor, giving a combined output of 139bhp. The all-new Niro Plug-in Hybrid uses the same petrol engine as the Hybrid, but with a more powerful 83bhp electric motor producing a combined output of 180bhp. Combined with an 11.1kWh lithium-ion polymer battery, the car is capable of up to 40 miles electric-powered range – more than enough for most commutes. Both cars feature an innovative ‘Green Zone’ driving mode, which automatically switches to electric drive based on location guidance from the navigation system, driver patterns, or manual selection by the driver, for example around schools or built-up areas.
The all-new Niro EV features a range of up to 287 miles per charge of its 64.8kWh lithium-ion polymer battery, and a 201bhp electric motor. 10-80% recharging takes just 45 minutes using a DC CCS rapid charger – nine minutes quicker than the outgoing model.
The fifth-generation Sportage is available with an extensive electrified model line-up that includes mild-hybrid (MHEV), hybrid (HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains that offer excellent fuel economy, low emissions, and in the case of the PHEV variant, an electric driving range of up to 43 miles. Pricing for the Sportage model range starts from £26,745, with the Sportage Hybrid from £32,945 and the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid from £38,395.
Winner of the European Car of the Year 2022 and 2022 What Car? Car of the Year, the EV6 is Kia’s first dedicated EV based on the company’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). Its high-tech design eliminates many of the compromises faced by EVs built on platforms designed to accommodate internal combustion engines. As a result of its E-GMP underpinnings, the EV6 has a class-leading interior space, up to 328-miles driving range and 800V ultra-fast charging capabilities enabling customers to charge from 10 to 80 per cent in just 18 minutes. EV6 pricing starts from £41,695 for the rear-wheel drive ‘Air’, with the ‘GT-Line’ starting from £44,695 and the ‘GT-Line S’ from £49,195.
Leaders in electrification, Kia will launch 14 fully electric models by 2027 as part of its global ‘Plan S’ strategy.
