Your perspective of the street is marginally higher as a result of the Niro's lifted position, yet Kia doesn't offer the Niro with all-wheel drive, so don't hope to be a snow-busting trailblazer in terrible climate. The Niro's center interest originates from its customary outside design (no "hybrid!" yelling here) and in addition another powertrain that is fit for returning up to an EPA-assessed 50 mpg in consolidated city/interstate driving.

A 1.6-liter four-cylinder and electric engine create a joined yield of 139 horsepower. That is more than normal, and it helps the Niro be entirely perky off the line and keep pace with whatever is left of its hybrid-electric rivalry. The 2017 Kia Niro Hybrid additionally separates itself by utilizing a six-speed, double grasp automatic transmission in lieu of the more traditional persistently factor transmission (CVT). The shifts come brisk and smooth, and we think it gives a more lovely driving background contrasted with a CVT automatic, especially under greatest increasing speed.

The Toyota Prius still rules as far as efficiency, and a RAV4 Hybrid bests the Niro for cargo space, yet overall the new Kia Niro ought to hit the spot for a ton of hybrid customers.
