Hybrid cars for sale near Oolitic, IN

I had a pleasant experience purchasing a car with this dealership. They were easy to work with.

I would personally like to thank Nick Burd for the for the amazing job he did in facilitating our purchase of a new 2017 Kia Soul. Nick and the entire staff of community Kia in Bloomington Indiana went out of their way to assist us in every way possible and make the experience a positive one. If you were looking for a Kia dealer who goes above and beyond to provide each customer with the wonderful buying experience please consider community Kia.

Liked the Kia Souls I had seen on the road and was recommended to ask for Frank by someone who knew him. My daughter and I stopped by and Tim Cornett immediately stepped up to help as Frank was not in yet. He provided us with excellent service and, having done car loans myself, was very efficient and knowledgeable of the process, actually selling us a 2017 Kia Soul which I love. He even went well beyond by helping us with some unrelated paperwork. He was so friendly, got me the best rate and I couldn't have been happier with the sale. He is great! Also, Frank came in and he, too was wonderful.

The service people were very nice and helpful, however when I picked the car up I was directed to an area of the parking lot that the vehicle was located. Except the car was not there. I found the car by using the remote key to locate it. I personally think the car should have been brought to us instead of having us wander the parking lot

Reached out to the dealership about a car I was interested in. Salesman let me know upfront that it was actually going to auction because of issues they couldn’t fix. I appreciated them being upfront with me and not attempting a bait and switch. Will continue to consider them for any future purchases!

Purchased used in July 2025. Great gas mileage. Smooth, quiet ride. I enjoy many of the features of this loaded model. But there are a few things that are slightly annoying. As the car slows down, it sounds like an emergency vehicle. I found myself looking around for a squad or an ambulance until I realized it was the engine whining. Second, the radio cuts in and out. Never had this problem on other vehicles. I live in a metropolitan area and have strong station signals. So this has me baffled. Fortunately I can sync my phone playlist and enjoy my favorite tunes. The weather is always lagging and sometimes reads cloudy when it’s pouring down rain. Lastly, I have not figured out how to cancel a destination on the map navigator. It also cannot find my address and has me going to a completely different town if I need to get home from an unfamiliar area. Maybe it needs an upgrade but was hoping that was automatic and cloud based.

After looking for good price on a hybrid Toyota Highlander and checking with every dealer within a 100 mile radius of Indianapolis, I finally found Royal South Toyota and a salesman named Connor Avera. Connor and Royal South were by far the most responsive. They provided me with the best price and the least amount of hassle and haggling. My only regret is that I did not call them sooner. While I had to drive 1 1/2 hours to Bloomington, they got me in and out in less than and hour because they had all of the paperwork and loan documents ready to go. A experience. I will be back for our next Toyota.

I've owned mine for a couple of months. Lots of technology to figure out. As a hybrid, it's good on gas but also provides the "kick" I need when needed. I like all the automatic things like door locking, voice commands, etc. Drives smoothly as well. Good value. I'm happy with the car for sure...

Been buying cars from them for years. Always a friendly positive experience and a very transparent process. Also, dealing with the service dept was a refreshing experience, very thorough and went above and beyond to help me. Shout out Sam and Maria!

Own a 2014. Best bang for your buck for a 8 seater. I'm at 200k miles with just the usual oil changes and tires when needed. Only 1 downside to these cars are the markups from dealerships.

Want to say up front everyone was really friendly and interested in helping us make the right decision. Dan was great!! No pressure, easy to visit with and not in a hurry to make a sale. Dan was more than patient and very understanding about our particular situation. This was a great experience because of the people not the facility. Thanks Dan for your knowledge and kindness!!! You're the best!!!! And No, he didn’t pay me to write this review !!! Have a great Day!!!

I have had the XLE with some upgrade options as a company fleet vehicle. I have driven it about 12,000 miles in six months from 36k to 48k miles, now. I use it as a work vehicle for sales calls and some personal use. Here’s my plusses and minuses. Plusses: 1. Acceleration is strong and quick. Great for merges and when you need to pass. Amazing for a car this big. 2. While I have not calculated mileage, it is amazing and definitely as good or better than the rating. 3. Space and layout is good. I generally use it with all the rear seats down, though. Only a little family use and it was okay. 4. Reliability. Not a single problem and I think the first rep abused the car and took poor care of it. Minuses: 1. Engine is loud when gas kicks in. Would be unacceptably loud in a luxury car. 2. Comfort is mediocre. Large flat hard seats. Might be better if you are bigger. 3. Tech. Small screen, annoying beeps, lane keep adjusts too hard and would not kick in on a cold snowy day. Maybe the sensor was frozen but should not have. Apple CarPlay is what you want to use. Adaptive cruise tends to keep pushing you back to increase distances. Some cars you can set it, not sure on this. It’s annoying when you’re trying to maintain distance in a fast lane and it’s pushing you back. Also, on curvy roads, almost any curve it auto-brakes gently. You have to turn it off on mountain roads or you’ll make everyone sick. Overall, it is a great car on performance and average or mediocre on everything else. I would recommend the car as a reliable family hauler or work car as I use it. I have a Hyundai Palisade Limited (gas) and if you didn’t want a hybrid I’d totally go Hyundai as it’s way nicer on comfort and Hyundai tech is far better. To be fair, my Palisade is a higher trim but I don’t think the Toyota is that much better on higher trims and tech won’t improve.

"I drive all the way from Indianapolis to buy my cars from Royal South Toyota, and it’s always worth the trip. They are honest, easy to work with, and make the entire process seamless. Whether it’s purchasing a new vehicle or servicing one, I know I can trust them to be upfront and professional. Great team, great service—highly recommend!"

This is a great car. The hybrid drivetrain has already saved me over 30% on gas in a few months of ownership. With the xle model I purchased I have noticed the sound dampening is not as good as my older model 2013 rav4 non hybrid but with no engine noise either makes the outside noise more noticeable. The seating space up front is a little more tighter but not bad. My one gripe is the gas pedal is hinged to the floor so the floor mats do not go all the way to the top and leave the carpet exposed. I would still 100% recommend the car. Just watch out for some dealerships who are just out to make your purchase difficult.

Although the hybrid is best for Intown use I have put over 100,000 miles of highway miles with consistently good few mileage being over 30 with no problems whatsoever with this vehicle

What sold me on this car: not all screen, some buttons Kick open trunk Good mpg Reliability of Toyotas Overhead 360 camera Past success with Toyota Spare tire in hidden compartment in trunk Negatives I have found out since buying it: For shorter people, hard to keep heel on floor unless seat is all the way up Uncomfortable drivers seat. I suggest if you’re on the shorter side, to rent this car if possible for a few days to make sure it’s comfortable.

I recently bought my first new car ever at Kia, and couldn't be happier. My salesperson, Thor Roberts, was friendly, accommodating, and very upbeat. He made sure he answered any questions I may have had, and did his best to ensure that the car I wanted was the right car for me (it was!). Also great was Brett, from management. Brett actually remembered my husband and me from 10 years ago, when he happened to be our salesperson at the time. He even remembered what make and model of car we bought! That is the kind of customer service that will keep us coming back to this dealership. They are fantastic!

Bought this car new in October 2017. Initially had trouble putting fuel in it. I'd be on empty and get about three litres of fuel in it and then it would shut off and burp out some. Read the instructions inside the filler cap. Problem solved. When it was about three years old (about 2020/2021 maybe), I had a steering box problem. The dealer wanted $850 Canadian for the part plus taxes plus labour. Took it to my mechanic. He agreed with the assessment. He took the cover off the steering box and lubed it with a can of lube (was it WD-40??) and never had an issue after that. LAST TIME I'LL TAKE IT TO A DEALER!!!!! Got rear-ended in October 2023. I had 184,000 kilometres on the car. The car was totalled and I did not know it. The trunk opened and closed, the backup camera still worked, and not even a tail light was cracked, but the unibody was compromised. Drove it for another hundred kilometres before it was classed a write-off. Fuel economy for 184,000 kilometres was 4.7 litres per hundred kilometres or 50 MG (American) or 60 MPG Imperial. This was, don't forget, for the life of the car!!! Would I buy it again?? By the bones of my ancestors, ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

Amazing customer service! Kelly was awesome to work with. I will be back for all my service needs. I will tell everyone to ask for Kelly in service

It is not a really bad car but not for everyone. You have to live in warm or hot climate - not a cold for sure. You have to primarily drive within the city limits. You should not drive too little or too much. And one more thing: there is something wrong with either gas engine or its mount - sometimes strong vibration and its is often noisy. I will buy gas only car next time.

Very helpful and super nice!! Did awesome job!! Give them a call if you need any work done or want to buy a Kia!! They are awesome vehicles!!

On May 17th we were traveling and our Kia Sorento cruise quit working. We headed to the nearest Kia dealership to have it analyzed to determine the cause. Your dealership was closest. By the time we arrived the cruise had started working again. Your staff worked us in, knowing we were traveling, and went on a test drive with us to see if the cruise would malfunction again but it did not. They said it must be malfunctioning to be able to find the cause. They apologized. for being unable to help. The young man who drove with us was wonderful, and answered a few questions I had about the steering! When we were ready to leave, the office staff said their was no charge. I was dumfounded. What a pleasure to work with your service department. We were very impressed. Thank you to all of them.

Our 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Limited Hybrid is the ultimate road trip vehicle and is amazing around town. Flexible interior design, comfortable seating, and incredible highway handling and noise control make this vehicle a driving pleasure. Reliability +

Brandon and the team were wonderful. Very knowledgeable and helpful!! I would highly recommend Andy Mohr for anyone looking to purchase a vehicle!
