PLUG-IN HYBRID CARS
Take the lead. Drive electrified.
Plug-In Hybrids offer you an enhanced level of power output — that can be drawn from both a petrol engine and cable-rechargeable battery. This balanced engineering solution uses a bigger battery, ensuring you'll use more electricity and less petrol. It means you'll enjoy optimal fuel economy and better overall driving range, while lowering your carbon footprint on every journey you make.
How does a Plug-In Hybrid car work?
Plug-In Hybrid cars are a type of electric hybrid car. They use both an engine and an electric battery that work together to power your vehicle. Our diagram shows in more detail how all the components collaborate to get you moving more efficiently.
• Plug-In Hybrids have a battery and engine that support each other when needed.
• The battery needs to be charged from an external source, like a home or public charge point.
• The battery also charges when decelerating or going downhill.
• Plug-In Hybrids can operate in electric-only mode at low and high speed for significant distances.
Benefits of Plug-In Hybrid
If you're looking for a more sustainable driving experience without committing to an electric car, a Plug-In Hybrid car (PHEV) is an ideal option. Plug-In Hybrids come with numerous benefits, including low-emission driving and improved economy. Experience these benefits for yourself with Kia.
-
Optimal performance
Enhanced driveability delivered by the combined performance of a petrol driven engine and electric motor. -
Electric only drive
PHEVs are good for your wallet and our planet. With your battery fully charged, you can make most short daily journeys without using even a drop of petrol. -
Long distance driving
Similar to a hybrid, the plug-in hybrid's combustion engine lets you drive long distances once the all-electric range has been utilised.
