Kia Niro Hybrid-S

Second-gen Kia Niro compact crossover SUV boasts a completely new design, a slightly larger body, more interior space, and additional safety.

Two electrified powertrains, hybrid electric (HEV) and pure electric (EV), come in either S or GT-Line trim levels

Hybrid models feature a 1 6-litre petrol engine coupled to a small electric motor driving the front wheels through a six-speed dualclutch automatic transmission

Niro EV features a sizeable 64 8kWh lithium-ion battery which powers its electric motor with drive to the front wheels via a single-speed (reduction-gear) transmission.

Top-spec EV GT-Line reveals an efficient, flexible car sporting a new grille and LED lighting assemblies up front

A sloping roofline, black alloys, and black garnishing around its mudguards and low on the doors define its profile. Two-tone paint colours are an option on its wide C-pillar. At the back is a powered tailgate with lip spoiler and boomerang-shaped LED tail lights

EV GT-Line scores dual-zone climate control, power sunroof, power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, high-powered Hardon-Karmon DAB+ audio system, leather-look trim and satellite navigation

There’s plenty of cabin storage, one USB, three USB-C and two V2L (vehicle to load) sockets. The 60/40 rear seat is roomy enough for adults and there’s ample cargo space
