In recent years, Kia has been gradually introducing new hybrid powertrain options for the North American market. The automaker has not released a hybrid-only model; instead, it has selected three model families with optional generative or plug-in hybrid power plants. Let's review the three Kia hybrid models you can drive now in Gainesville.

The Kia Niro Hybrid

This urban crossover has always been focused on fuel efficiency, but your savings at the pump can be multiplied with the Niro hybrid. The Kia Niro hybrid uses a combination of an electric motor and a gasoline engine to achieve a fuel economy of 53 mpg in the city and 54 mpg on the highway. What this means for you as a Niro driver is the ability to go for 500 miles on a single tank of gas.

This compact SUV offers a stylish design, a spacious interior, and two hybrid powertrain options. The Sportage generative hybrid uses a combination of an electric motor and a 1.6L four-cylinder engine to deliver a fuel economy of 42 mpg in the city and 44 mpg on the highway; that's more than 400 miles without having to stop for gas. The Sportage plug-in hybrid offers even more convenience with an electric-only range of 31 miles. You can drive around Gainesville on electric power alone with the plug-in version, thus saving money on gas and eliminating emissions; even when the battery runs out, the Sportage plug-in hybrid continues to maximize fuel economy.

This mid-size SUV offers a long list of standard features plus two trim levels that increase seating space to seven occupants. If you plan on taking longer road trips, the Kia Sorento hybrid and its plug-in version generate a fuel efficiency of 40 mpg. The Sorento SX-Prestige includes extras such as a panoramic roof, a Harman-Kardon audio system, and heated front seats.
