The hybrid electric vehicle market has grown nowadays, with many brands throwing their hat in the ring for both mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. This gives more selection options, but how do you choose which hybrid is the best? We’re going to take a closer look at two options, the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV and the 2025 Kia Carnival, and how strong their engines are and what their electric-only ranges are like to see which is the better option of the two.

The 2025 Kia Carnival gets a combined maximum horsepower of 242 with 270 lb-ft of torque. However, the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV gets a maximum horsepower of 285 with 347 lb-ft of torque, meaning that its engine is stronger when directly compared to the 2025 Kia Carnival.
Because it’s a hybrid vehicle and not a plug-in hybrid, the 2025 Kia Carnival does not have an electric-only range. The 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV, though, has an electric-only range of 53 kilometres, which means you can make it around on most errands and small trips using only electricity, which is far more fuel-efficient.
Due to its more powerful engine and electric-only capabilities, the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV is the far better choice over the 2025 Kia Carnival. With its luxurious interior and technological features as well, the PHEV is sure to impress.
