HYBRID CARS

White Sportage driving on country road

Since launching the Optima hybrid in 2011, Kia have developed a range of outstanding hybrid vehicles that stand out for their efficiency, appeal and quality. More than a flexible technology, this is a range honed to give you room for inspiration.

Benefits of Hybrid

​

Consume less fuel



The seamless coordination of the engine and battery not only provides power but also efficient use of fuel.​

No need to plug in



Fill up the car with petrol just like any conventional petrol car. Our Hybrid system cleverly charges the battery whilst you are driving.​

Less clutch, more drive



Enjoy the performance of two combined power sources funnelled through an automatic or dual-clutch gearbox. The system automatically changes gears swiftly and seamlessly for maximum driving enjoyment.

How a Hybrid car works

​

• Hybrids have a battery and engine that support each other when needed.

• There is no need to charge the battery from an external source.

• The battery charges when decelerating or going downhill.

• Hybrids can operate in electric-only mode when at a standstill, at low, constant speed or when decelerating.

Cost of ownership


Of course, driving a hybrid means you keep your fuel bills under control but there are other reasons for making a smart choice. With strong resale values, lower tax, better access to restricted city centres and the reassurance of our pioneering 7 year warranty, it is not surprising many of our customers opt for a hybrid.
