2017 NIRO

Unveiled globally at the Chicago auto show early 2016, the all-new 2017 Kia Niro is a no-compromise vehicle that combines driving enjoyment with eye-catching design, functional utility and hybrid efficiency.  Arriving in Kia retailers in the first quarter of 2017, the all-new Niro strikes the perfect balance for today’s consumers and stakes claim to a unique position between the hybrid-electric vehicle and CUV segments. 

“We’re excited about the Niro,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president product planning KMA. “It’s fantastic – exceptional fuel economy, great looks, the usefulness and security of a compact utility and it’s fun to drive.  The Niro really does set a new standard in the market.”  Designed to provide a new generation of environmentally conscious, adventurous and design-loving drivers everything they want but was previously unavailable, the Niro’s long list of features and attributes includes:

• Exceptional fuel efficiency — up to 50 mpg combined — and, as a result, reduced emissions.
• An innovative hybrid system featuring a 6-speed dual clutch automatic transmission with Sport Mode, to provide a more dynamic and engaging driving experience, while delivering extremely efficient operation.
• A spacious cabin with lots of room for occupants and their gear.  
• Kia’s full array of driver assistance features – advanced high-strength steel structure, seven airbags, available Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW).
• The Niro doesn’t look like other hybrids, its eye-catching design is athletic – strong, sculpted and modern.
• It’s well-equipped – Standard UVO3 with Apple CarPlay^TM3, Android Auto^TM4 and a 7-inch touchscreen and available Smart Cruise Control, navigation and a Harman Kardon^®5 premium audio system.
