The 2017 Kia Niro and the Kia Optima Hybrid were both named on the 10 best hybrid cars under $40,000. The 2017 Kia Optima PHEV was listed as a top plug-in hybrid car. And last but not least the 2017 Kia Soul EV was on the list of the five best electric cars under $40,000. Some of the features on the EV trim includes a climate control system, a navigation system, and the Kia UVO infotainment system.

“We’re very proud of the strides the Kia brand has been making to achieve its goal of increasing electrification and improving overall fuel economy by 2020,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president, Product Planning, KMA.  “Having four of our vehicles recognized by Kelley Blue Book as top ‘eco-friendly’ choices validates our priorities to the environment as well as our efforts to maximize affordability.”
