Kia is preparing the arrival of the first all-electric vehicle, the EV6, which will be a 2022 model-year vehicle. Until then, Kia is counting on the Niro PHEV to meet the needs of consumers who are looking for this type of technology, as well as the new Sorento, which will be available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain by the end of the year. Sit tight, however: there will soon be plenty of choice for those wanting a Korean PHEV utility vehicle.

Possible range (in electric mode): 42 km.
