Kia

Kia is expanding its all-electric offer for the 2020 model-year with both the Niro and the Soul. In the PHEV segment, however, there’s no change this year with the Niro PHEV ($35,865) and its 42-km range in electric mode returning. As for the Optima PHEV ($44,795), it’s a pretty close cousin to the Sonata plug-in hybrid from Hyundai, with which it shares a number of components.
