Here are a few examples that show how the automaker has pushed fuel economy across its lineup. Niro Hybrid The urban-friendly Kia Niro is the one of the most fuel-efficient SUV Kia offers. The EPA estimates put the LX, EX, and SX trim at 53 mpg combined when driven conservatively. The rest still impress, with up to 53 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. more Niro Plug-In Hybrid When it comes to plug-ins, it's all about that all-electric range. The Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid delivers 33 miles of just that. Switch to engine-only mode, and you can expect about 48 mpg combined. According to Kia, charging takes about 3 hours using a compatible Level 2 charger. Sportage Hybrid Stylish, practical, and efficient, the Sportage Hybrid is out to win you from every angle. It gets approximately 42 mpg in the city and 44 mpg on the highway. For reference, non-hybrid Sportage models come in at 25 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. On top of being more fuel-efficient, the hybrid packs more power under the hood. Sportage Plug-In Hybrid Following the Niro's lead, the Sportage steps into plug-in hybrid territory with a dose of electric-only range before the engine joins the party. Here, that figure lands at 34 miles. The EPA rates it at 36 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the open road once the 1.4-liter inline-four engine takes over. Sorento Hybrid For those after an efficient three-row SUV that can accommodate seven passengers without feeling cramped, the Sorento Hybrid makes a strong case. The EPA reports that front-wheel drive variants of this model achieve 36 mpg combined, the highest in the Sorento lineup. In contrast, all-wheel versions deliver 34 mpg combined. Sorento Plug-In Hybrid Continuing the plug-in trend, the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid adds an electric range to the mix. It has a combined rating of 79 MPGe, with city and highway figures at 35 and 33 mpg, respectively. This PHEV can also travel up to 32 miles on electricity alone, letting you avoid gas on local trips if you recharge regularly. K4 Kia's handle on efficiency carries over to their K4 sedan. The base model, equipped with the standard 147-horsepower inline-four engine, pulls off 30 mpg in the city and 40 on the highway. Want more power? The GT-Line Turbo brings the fun, though mileage drops slightly to 26 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. Considering one of these models?
