The Kia Niro and Hyundai Ioniq are mechanically related and share similar powertrains.
The Ioniq is more fuel efficient and is available for less money, the Kia Niro is more refined and a little better looking, we say.
The Prius is the standard-bearer for hybrid cars in the U.S., although some are put off by its unique shape and newfound style.
The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid that maximizes range from its battery (more than 50 miles) and gas engine, although its shape isn’t as practical as the Niro.
The Honda Clarity is similarly quiet and spacious.
The Kia Soul could be a versatile option across the dealer showroom, although its most often a gas-only model.
