The all-new Sorento

The Plug-in Hybrid range

Winner of the What Car? Car of the Year Large SUV category, the all-new Kia Sorento comes ready to take on just about any challenge you throw at it. Retaining the familiar, commanding presence that’s made this model stand out since its introduction in 2002, the 2021 all-new Kia Sorento is now available as a Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), meaning you get the all-terrain, rugged vehicle you recognise, now paired with an efficient and economical drive.

The advanced PHEV system reduces your CO2 emissions and with it, your overall running costs, while regenerative braking technology will recharge the battery when coasting or braking to maximise your driving range. The all-new Sorento can take on city and country driving. Its all-wheel-drive technology gives you more grip and precision than ever before. You can even use the Terrain Mode Select to easily adapt your driving experience at the touch of a button as you cycle through the Eco, Sport and Smart Drive modes and the Snow, Mud and Sand Terrain modes to ensure you get the safest drive possible. Inside the cabin you’ll get an 8-inch touchscreen and heated seats and steering wheel as standard on the Sorento 2 trim, while the top Sorento 4 specification comes with a panoramic sunroof, Bose premium sound system and a customisable head-up display (HUD). To find out what else the all-new Kia Sorento can offer, speak to your nearest Hendy Kia team.

Kia’s extensive range of plug-in hybrids cater for all lifestyles. The Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid provides the best of both worlds, with great performance and a range of up to 30 miles without recharging, making it ideal for daily commutes. It features LED daytime running lights, a new rear bumper design and boasts a mightily impressive 1,322 litres of luggage space. The Kia XCeed Plug-in Hybrid is a radical crossover coupé. Powered by a punchy 1.6 GDI engine with a 44.5 kW electric motor and an 8.9 kWh battery, this sporty model can cruise on electric power for up to 37 miles, with the petrol engine ready to kick in on longer journeys. The Ceed Sportswagon Plug-in Hybrid is Kia’s first Europeanbuilt plug-in hybrid and will give most drivers the ability to complete their daily drives and short commutes on pure electric power. It’s got plenty of helpful features too, like the new charging indicator located on the dashboard to give you complete peace of mind. Capable of 0-100kmph in 10.8 seconds, it can certainly deliver a thrilling drive as well.

Kia e-Niro

The Kia e-Niro is one of the most sought-after electric vehicles on the market, and it’s not hard to see why. Not only does it come with a host of useful features as standard, it is capable of a staggering 282-mile range, making it stand out from the pack in terms of range, connectivity and comfort. In addition to the e-Niro’s efficient electric power, it also offers crossover space and practicality. When plugged into a 100kW fast charger, it takes less than an hour to recharge the battery to 80%.

Inside, you’ll be amazed at the incredible amount of technology available at your fingertips, with the standard e-Niro 2 specification including reversing camera, rear parking sensors, an 8-inch touchscreen display and smart key and button start system. The top spec e-Niro 4+ offers pure comfort and a smooth ride with heated seats, an 8-speaker JBL premium sound system and a 10.25-inch touchscreen sat nav system complete with European mapping.

Kia began 2021 with the unveiling of their new logo and slogan - Movement That Inspires.

The new logo was unveiled in the skies above Incheon, South Korea, with 303 pyrodrones flying in a synchronised display that also set a new Guinness World Record for the most unmanned aerial vehicles launching fireworks simultaneously. Kia say that the new logo is a symbol of its brand purpose and the value it offers customers by resembling a handwritten signature. Ho Sung Song, Kia’s President and CEO, said: “The automotive industry is experiencing a period of rapid transformation, and Kia is proactively shaping and adapting to these changes. Our new logo represents our desire to inspire customers as their mobility needs evolve, and for our employees to rise to the challenges we face in a fast-changing industry.”

All of Kia’s new cars are covered by its famous 7-year, or 100,000-mile, warranty.

They describe it as quality redefined. Kia are the only manufacturer in Europe to offer a 7-year warranty across the range, meaning the cost of maintaining your car will be lower and the resale value likely higher. This commitment to ensuring peace of mind means that even if you choose to buy a used Kia at Hendy, you’ll still benefit from the remaining time or mileage within the warranty terms.
