Kia to premiere PHEV variant of Sportage at IAA Mobility

Kia will be showcasing its electric and plug in vehicle range at the IAA Mobility show, held between 7 and 12 September in Munich. 

The carmaker will use the event to hold a global premiere of its Sportage plug-in hybrid (PHEV). Kia will also give a European public debut of its electric EV6.

The PHEV model features Kia’s 1.6 litre T-GDI engine, a 66.9kW permanent magnet traction electric motor and a 13.8kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack.

The EV6 benefits from a long-range 77.4kWh battery pack that allows it to travel up to 328 miles (WLTP combined cycle) from a single charge. Accompanied by its 400/800V charging capabilities, the EV6 is able to charge from 10-to-80 per cent in as little as 18 minutes, or can add 60 miles of range in under five minutes when plugged into a 350kW ultra-fast charger. Available to order now, UK customer deliveries will commence from October this year for ‘Air’, ‘GT-Line’ and ‘GT-Line S’ models. Prices start from £40,895.
