Kia launches £2,500 Plug-in Hybrid Grant

Plug-in hybrid cars are no longer eligible for the government’s Plug-in Car Grant… so it’s Kia to the rescue with its own £2,500 offer.

Kia has launched its own £2,500 Plug-in Hybrid Grant, offering savings on every PHEV vehicle in its range.

The offer, which runs until 28 February 2021, is modelled on the government’s own £3,000 Plug-in Car Grant for pure electric cars.

PHEV vehicles have been excluded from the Plug-in Car Grant since 2018 – to the fury of the car industry. Kia’s offer is aimed at boosting interest in in its plug-in hybrid XCeed, Ceed Sportswagon, Niro, and Sorento.

The offer is part of a big ‘Go Hybrid’ campaign to boost interest across the Kia range of electrified cars.

The Kia Scrappage scheme also continues, offering up to £2,500 to buyers of older and less efficient vehicles.

The savings are available on the Picanto, Rio, Niro Hybrid, Stonic and Sportage ranges.

Those who prefer full electric will get three free services if they buy an e-Niro or Soul EV on Kia Finance e-Plus.

Kia Soul EV

Kia has also cut the APR on the Soul EV from 4.9 percent to 2.9 percent.

Meanwhile, buyers of a Stonic, Niro, Sportage or XCeed enjoy zero percent APR, plus two three services and two years’ free roadside assistance.

Kia is continuing a range of NHS staff offers to reward those who have worked hard during the pandemic – and make cars more affordable so they can be less reliant on public transport during lockdown restrictions.
