Kia Charge

Embrace the change.

Inspired engineering to lead the charge.

We live in changing times, that call for remarkable innovation. From the very first stage of development, the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid was destined to embrace that difference, by using the latest electrified powertrain technologies. With easy charging via the integrated charging port, you have the flexibility to charge the battery at home or at public charging stations.

Just as importantly, the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid has been carefully engineered to minimise any impact on passenger and luggage space. The high-voltage battery is placed centrally, ensuring a balanced weight distribution and an interior space that is practical, comfortable and versatile. The battery also features a new high-tech management unit that constantly monitors the state of the battery.

Smarter driving technology.

At the touch of the Hybrid/Electric (HEV/EV) button located on the centre console, you can prioritise between electric and hybrid mode. In EV mode, ideal for urban driving, the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid prioritises electric-only energy for emissions-free driving**. In HEV mode, it operates both energy sources, changing between using the petrol engine only, the electric engine only, or both simultaneously depending on the situation.

**There are certain situations in which the petrol engine will automatically activate even when the vehicle is in EV mode. Examples could include: when the hybrid battery state of charge is reduced to a certain level, when acceleration demand is high, and/or when it is required to heat up the cabin.
