Over the past two decades, Kia has cemented itself as a market leader in innovation, quality, and longevity. With their petrol and diesel offerings, seeing the Kia badge on the front of the car has come to mean a well-built, long-lasting, and beautifully designed vehicle.

However, with the push towards net zero, Kia has targeted the electric car market very successfully, taking its expertise and applying it to an electrified platform to deliver the very best in electric cars.

With such a variety of models, it can be difficult to know which Kia is right for you. Here we’ll take you through the available electric cars from Kia to help you make the right choice.

Buying an electric Kia

Deciding to buy any car is a big decision, particularly if this is your first foray into electric cars, but choosing an electric Kia is a no-brainer.

From all-electric off-roaders to hybrid crossovers, the Kia range is broad and ready to meet the needs of you and your family. Kia have also developed their Electric Global Modular Programme (e-GMP), demonstrating their long-term investment in the electrification of cars.

e-GMP is the first system in the world to allow for charging at 400V or 800V without the need for additional equipment. It also uses the wasted heat from various components to heat the cabin for extra recycling prowess.

Owning an electric Kia can also give you access to Kia Charge, taking the worry out of public EV charging. The app gives you access to the charging network, with just your Kia Charge app or RFID card.

What’s more, Kia’s industry-leading 7-year or 100,000-mile warranty still applies to their electric and hybrid range, giving you peace of mind that the car you’re driving away is built to last.
