Kia Niro hybrid crossover spied

by SpeedLux

Kia’s production version of the Niro concept has actually been spied in action ahead of next year’s arranged market launch as an international version.

We are not completely certain if the production car will certainly keep the principle’s “Niro” name, yet that’s trivial as what actually matters is that Kia intend on offering the crossover only with hybrid as well as plug-in hybrid powertrains. It will certainly use the very same hardware as Hyundai’s upcoming Prius-like model and also it is thought Kia wishes to offer the Niro as a global version.

Slotting in regards to size in between the Soul and also Sportage, Kia’s new crossover is expected to make use of a 1.6-liter direct injection gas engine collaborated to an electrical motor as well as a small lithium-ion battery for the hybrid variation whereas the plug-in hybrid will likely utilize a larger battery.

Both the Kia and also Hyundai hybrids will certainly be introduced at some point next year and while Kia currently has a fully electrical car in the Soul EV, it is believed Hyundai won’t get a zero-emission design till 2017.
