Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · PHEV (SG2, 2023+)

Kia Niro

Plug-in hybrid crossover. Electric WLTP range 65 km; the WLTP figure of 1.0 l/100km applies only with a full battery and short trips. With an empty battery the car drives like a regular hybrid; then count on 5-6 l/100km (owner figure, not measured by us). Braked towing weight 1,300 kg.

Profile · CD CUV facelift (2022+)

Kia XCeed

Compact crossover on the Ceed platform, plug-in hybrid variant. 1.6 GDI plus electric motor with 8.9 kWh battery around 141 hp system; electric WLTP range 48 km. The WLTP figure of 1.3 l/100km applies only with a full battery. With an empty battery the car drives like a hybrid; then count on 5-6 l/100km (owner figure, not measured by us). Indicative from-price; check the official configurator for the current figure.
