Kia considers more plug-in hybrids as EVs and hybrids meet emissions rules
Kia Australia says it may develop more plug-in hybrid models but is satisfied with its current electric and hybrid lineup.
Kia Australia says it is not ruling out more plug-in hybrid models, though it considers its existing hybrid and electric vehicle sales sufficient to meet Australia's New Vehicle Efficiency Standard. Raymond Pok, the brand's senior manager for product planning, said the company is always exploring electrified powertrains but thinks its current balance of electric vehicles, hybrids and conventional cars provides a good credit position under emissions regulations. Kia currently sells one plug-in hybrid, the Sorento large SUV, alongside hybrid and diesel versions.
