Engines

The new 2.5-liter four cylinder produces 187 horsepower (139kilowatts) as well as an eight-speed automatic transmission. You can choose between front-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive.
The hybrid powertrain option will also be offered. The automaker announced that it will be offering “forthcoming electrified models” but did not provide any further information. There’s a plug-in hybrid in South Korea. This could be what Kia might hint at for the US.
