Princeton-area drivers can find the latest Sportage PHEV models here at Ciocca Kia in Trenton.
Performance, Range, and Charging
The Kia Sportage PHEV has ample internal motivation for quick and confident highway merging and passing. Under the hood, a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine combines with an electric motor to produce 261 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, while the standard all-wheel-drive system ensures confident handling in various conditions. On gas alone, the Sportage PHEV achieves an EPA-estimated 35 mpg. However, the gas/electric combination boosts its EPA-estimated efficiency to 84 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent).1
A 13.8-kWh battery gives the Sportage PHEV about 34 miles of electric-only driving,1 allowing you to drive from Princeton to Downtown Trenton and back with range to spare. Charging takes ~3.5 hours using Level 2 equipment. However, you don't necessarily need a special installation to enjoy plug-in hybrid benefits. The Sportage PHEV can replenish its battery overnight (~10.5 hours) with a standard 120V household-style outlet.
