There's nothing new to add for the brand renowned for its products capable of tackling demanding off-road courses. The Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe are the only two plug-in hybrid options at the moment.

Possible range (in electric mode): 35 km (Wrangler) and 42 km (Grand Cherokee).

This year, the Kia Soul EV continues its journey without any major changes, but we shouldn't be surprised to see it leave the lineup at one point, not least because it's not as advanced an EV as the EV6 or the soon-to-arrive EV9.

However, the Niro range has been completely renewed and it once again includes a Niro PHEV variant, while the Sorento PHEV and Sportage PHEV are the brand's more voluminous options.

Possible range (in electric mode): 42 km (Niro) and 51 km (Sorento).
