Take a ride around the greater Montpelier or Burlington areas these days, and you'll notice a lot more electrified vehicles on the road. From plug-in hybrids to pure electric powered vehicles, more and more Vermonters are choosing greener vehicles for their daily driving needs. Of course, as new Kia dealer, we're happy to see so many shoppers switching to hybrid and electric vehicles, and we have a great selection of just such models here at our Montpelier, VT showroom. And if you've been on the fence about making the switch to an electrified car, allow us to show you firsthand why our Kia electrified vehicles are the perfect fit for you.
So, what is it that makes our Kia electrified models and hybrid cars so popular with shoppers from Barre to Randolph, VT these days. Well, for one thing, they're a chance to save at the pump. After all, we all experienced the fluctuations in the price of gas and diesel over the past year or so, and if you felt the strain at the pump, it may be time to consider buying or leasing something that's a bit more fuel efficient. And with nameplates like the new Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid, you can enjoy up to 79 MPGe, which is much better than many other conventionally powered three-row SUVs on the market, making it great for budget-conscious families throughout the greater Bethel, VT area.
Of course, it's also worth considering the versatility that our electrified Kia models offer. For example, if you don't have the opportunity to charge up at home or don't live close by to a public charging station, it can be difficult to justify buying a full EV or plug-in hybrid. However, even a conventional hybrid like the new Kia Sportage Hybrid will afford you better overall fuel economy than most conventionally powered small SUVs on the market.
That said, if you can find time to charge up, a plug-in hybrid Kia car may be perfect for your needs. In fact, with models like the Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid, you can leverage its battery power to travel up to 33 miles on electric power alone, so in many cases, you can go about your entire day without using a drop of gasoline. Better still, if you need to go further, the vehicle will seamlessly switch over from electric power to conventional combustion power without any downtime.
However, if you're looking to go green and opt for a full-electric vehicle, we understand you may have some reservations about how EVs can handle winter driving, particularly here in Vermont. Fortunately, not only do models like the new Kia EV6 feature all-wheel drive that makes quick work of traveling on icy and snowy roads, but it can even travel up to 310 miles when properly equipped, allowing it to travel between Burlington and Montpelier, VT over seven times before needing a recharge.
