What Is the 2027 Kia EV3?

The Kia Sportage is available in both a standard hybrid and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) configuration; the PHEV allows short trips on pure electric power before the gasoline engine engages. The Kia Telluride Hybrid extends hybrid technology into the three-row SUV class, maintaining the Kia Telluride and its full passenger and cargo capacity.
