Camping season puts a specific set of demands on a family SUV: enough cargo room for gear, enough seats for everyone, and a powertrain that won’t need constant fuel stops on the way to the site. The 2026 Kia Sorento HEV checks each of those boxes, and stepping up to the SX trim adds a further layer of comfort and technology for the drive there and back. Every Sorento HEV comes with all-wheel...
When you look at the lineups of traditional manufacturers (those that are not solely electric), you see several companies offering an electric model, sometimes two. At Kia, we already have three offerings on the market, proof that respecting the needs of consumers is a priority for us.
And what are these models? You probably know them. Let's rediscover their identity.
Soul
It was in 2014, when the first-generation Soul model was redesigned, Kia added an all-electric version. This offered a typical range for the time, around 150 kilometers. The groundwork was laid and those who owned this generation of the electric Kia Soul loved it.
Niro
A few years later, in 2017, Kia delivered a very interesting trio: the Niro hybrid, the Niro PHEV (plug-in hybrid) and the Niro EV. With this generation of batteries, autonomy was taken to another level, to a threshold that makes the anxiety related to electric freedom fall. To be precise, the Niro EV offered (and still offers) 386 kilometers. Comfort, electrical capacity, power, everything was pleasant about this model.
EV6
Finally, the last big star of the Kia electric family is the new EV6 SUV. This one offers the latest technologies in multimedia, but also in batteries and electric engines. The platform of this model was designed to serve electric models, which guarantees maximum efficiency in all aspects, including maximizing space and handling (due to the model's lower center of gravity).

Seating for everyone is only the starting point; cargo space, towing capacity, and how often you need to stop for fuel or a charge all shape how the trip actually feels.
