At Birchwood Kia Chichester, Eastbourne and Washington, we offer the following electrified models:
Kia offers a seven-year warranty (or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first) on all its hybrid, plug-in hybrid and 100% electric vehicles.
The real-world range of the baseline Kia EV6 RWD model is approximately 310 miles.
Charging times vary depending on the Kia model in question, its battery capacity and the charging method used. For instance, the Kia EV6, when using a 233kW public connector, takes about 18 minutes to achieve a 10% to 80% charge. Using a 50kW public connector, it takes around 66 minutes (10% to 80%). With a dedicated home chargepoint (rated at 7kW), it takes a little more than 11 hours to receive a full charge (0% to 100%).
In the most recently published Driver Power survey (2023), Kia ranked sixth out of 32 brands, scoring 90.15%. In the same survey, the Kia EV6 was voted the Best Family Car, placing seventh overall.
In terms of safety, all Kia hybrid and electric vehicles come with a maximum five-star Euro NCAP rating, except the Niro 4, XCeed 4 and Soul EV, which have four-star ratings.
Kia models have to be taken on a case by case basis. For example, the Kia EV6 costs more than the Hyundai Ioniq 5 but is less expensive than the Tesla Model Y.
Overall, Kia's hybrid and electric models are well-positioned in the market, offering competitive pricing and strong equipment levels compared to their rivals. They provide a good mix of performance, range and affordability, making them attractive options for motorists looking for reliable and efficient vehicles.
Yes. Kia’s hybrid models offer better fuel economy than purely combustion engined equivalents. This is certainly true of the brand’s plug-in hybrid vehicles – and Kia’s all-electric models are very affordable to run.
In terms of maintenance, an electric powertrain comprises fewer moving parts than a combustion engine and is therefore less likely to malfunction, which means greater servicing savings.
