The styling of the Niro was led by Kia’s design centres in California, USA and Namyang, Korea and is intended to incorporate the practicality and aesthetic allure of a compact SUV, with a sleek, aerodynamic body and subtly sculptured surfaces.
The all-new Kia Niro will be the first model based on Kia’s new dedicated eco-car platform, and is expected to achieve a sub-90 g/km CO2 emissions rating (combined, based on the New European Driving Cycle) thanks to its all-new downsized gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain.
