When you head to a Kia dealer, there are a lot of terrific models on the lot, each with their own unique set of features. But whether you’re looking for a large SUV or a comfortable sedan, one of your top questions is likely about the fuel efficiency of each model. Today, we’re here to help break down the top Kia choices to get you the most miles per gallon.


When we’re talking about efficiency in terms of fuel, we’re referring to the number of miles a car can get per gallon of gas. This number varies slightly depending on your vehicle, its condition, where you’re driving (rural or urban environment, city streets or highway, etc.), and low tire pressure. That said, we’ll give you the best estimate for each of the top Kia models to consider!

Kia Optima – Hybrid Midsize Sedan

If you’re in the market for a sedan, the Kia Optima will give you an excellent run for your money. This hybrid vehicle has an EPA-estimated 45 mpg on the highway and 40 mpg out on city streets. This makes it one of the most efficient sedans on the entire market!


Kia Forte – Compact Sedan

Want something a little bit more compact? The Kia Forte just might be the one for you! This super sleek ride has an EPA-estimated 41 mpg on the highway and 33 mpg out on city streets. Not to mention all its other amazing features, like forward collision warning and comfortable interior. This car is a great fit for those looking for a small and efficient ride.


Kia Sorento – Hybrid Midsize SUV

If SUVs are more your speed, you’ve definitely got to check out the Kia Sorento. This midsize vehicle is able to get an EPA-estimated 35 mpg on the highway and 39 mpg out on city streets. Like the Optima, this makes it one of the most economically conscious SUVs on the market!


Kia Niro – Crossover SUV

If you’re looking for the strongest, most fuel-efficient all around, the Kia Niro is the one for you. This impressive crossover SUV gets an EPA-estimated 48 mpg on the highway and 53 mpg out on city streets. Plus, the plug-in hybrid model can get you an additional 26 miles just on electric power alone. All around, the Niro is sleek, spacious, and the most efficient ride on our list.

For those looking for a smaller ride, the Forte and Optima offer great mileage and spacious room without over doing the size. If you need a bigger vehicle, the Sorento is an incredible hybrid SUV, but the Niro will give you the overall best efficiency at the gas station. Ready to try one out yourself?
