Kia debuted a brand-new hybrid utility vehicle at the Chicago Auto Show this February. Called Niro, this new HUV is yet another innovative model in Kia’s impressive lineup.
“The Niro hits the sweet spot by offering the best combination of outstanding mpg, an engaging driving experience, utility, and most importantly, a stunning design that doesn’t shout ‘hybrid,’” said Orth Hedrick, vice president product planning KMA. “The subcompact CUV market continues to be one of the fastest-growing segments in the world, and the Niro offers a uniquely alluring yet practical package that consumers haven’t seen before.”
This ground-breaking combination of style, substance and economy is something that drivers have been asking for over the last few years. The new Niro should satisfy these drivers with its gorgeous design that not only carries a comfortable and tech-heavy interior, but also a powertrain that produces terrific fuel numbers.
One of the most innovative features on the 2017 Kia Niro is its dedicated eco-car platform that should herald an all-new generation of new Kia cars. Drivers will also love the HUV’s powertrain that includes a 1.6-liter Kappa GDI four-cylinder engine, a lightweight 1.56-kWh Lithium Ion Polymer battery and a tractive motor, all of which produce a very strong 146 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque.
