The Kia Niro is the Best of Both Worlds

When you look at hybrid cars, perhaps you see an identity crisis; when gas and electric offer such divergent experiences, what do you make of a vehicle that’s bold enough to offer both? But that’s exactly why the future rests in hybrids like the Kia Niro.

For many manufacturers, hybridization involves some compromise between gas and electricity. With the Niro, however, Kia delivers the best of both worlds. Take its plug-in model, which lets you go all-electric for short commutes, while still retaining traditional fuel techniques for longer trips. Altogether, the Niro is affordable, designed for the whole family, and an ideal jumping-on point for anyone interested in EVs.

Niro To Our Hearts

Kia unveiled the hybrid version of the Niro in 2016. In its first generation, Kia took a different approach than traditional hybrids by using a dual-clutch transmission. A plug-in variant joined the lineup in late 2017 and made its way to the United States in early 2018. Kia completed the trio with the introduction of the all-electric Niro later that year.

Now in its second generation, the Niro has evolved into a complete EV in every sense. Its all-electric model boasts an impressive EPA-estimated range of 285 miles. It has received a bold and futuristic makeover, resulting in a sleek new design. Additionally, the cabin has been upgraded to create even more space without compromising on storage capacity. If you’ve been thinking about going electric but worried about range and family-oriented practicality, the Niro is the perfect solution.

What makes the Niro truly standout is its remarkable flexibility and ease of use. Each of the three models is specifically designed to cater to various automotive preferences, while steering clear of unnecessary complexities and gimmicks. The Niro is a genuinely gratifying and uncomplicated vehicle that’s as electric as you choose it to be.
