What Kia SUV New?
The all-new Niro is the first Kia designed as a hybrid/electric vehicle from the ground up. The result is an impressive mix of outstanding fuel economy, ample passenger room and a long list of modern convenience and safety technologies. While its combined city/highway fuel economy rating of 49 mpg doesn’t quite match the 52-mpg rating of the Toyota Prius, it’s notably more efficient than just about everything else in its price range, including the Ford C-Max and roomier Toyota Prius V. Combined with crossover-like, anti-Prius styling and refined driving manners, the Niro is a welcome addition to the genre. Later in 2017, the Niro will also be offered as a plug-in hybrid that Kia says should be rated to deliver 26 miles of all-electric range.
Kia SUV Used 2017 Kia Niro Pricing
The 2017 Kia Niro lineup starts around $24,000 and tops out around $32,500 for a fully loaded Niro Touring model, putting it in the same ballpark as the 2017 Toyota Prius. While the Niro is covere by Kia’s superior 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. Kia SUV The Prius boasts an establish reputation and excellent resale value. While we haven’t yet published official resale value predictions for this all-new model, there’s a good chance a $30,000 Niro will cost you more over a complete buy-own-sell ownership cycle than a $30,000 Prius. However, keep in mind that it’s usually worth spending a little extra to drive the car you prefer.
Driving The Used 2017 Kia Niro
The Niro’s newly developed gasoline-electric powertrain is Kia’s best hybrid system yet, resulting in a car that drives less like a complex hybrid and more like an excellent olé gas-guzzler. Seamless acceleration and braking aside, 139 horsepower is not a lot for a vehicle that weighs more than 3,000 pounds, and we had to tap every bit of its output during highway merging and passing. Kia SUV Once up to speed, the Niro proved quiet and comfortable for a car of its stature. A long list of available safety and convenience technologies helped reduce driver effort and increase confidence.
In-town acceleration was never a problem, and the Niro proved smooth and responsive in the go-turn-stop-repeat of city driving. Kia SUV, likes to talk about the new Niro being fun to drive there’s even a Sport driving mode but keep your expectations in check. While the Niro’s quick-shifting 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, independent rear suspension, and decent driving feel help compensate for the Niro’s challenged power-to-weight ratio, the Niro remains, first and foremost, a practical mileage-max. The Niro also performs well in parking lots, thanks to a tight turning radius, standard backup camera, good outward visibility, and available rear cross-traffic alert.
Kia SUV Interior Comfort
Kia has developed a reputation among the KBB editors for exceptionally well-rounded interiors, and the Niro’s passenger cabin is no exception. The clean design impresses first, followed by the intuitive layout, refined feel and intelligent functionality. The buttons and knobs all feel like they were design, engineered, and manufactured with attention to detail. Audio and climate controls are smartly situate. There’s a handy open bin with USB and power ports ahead of the transmission selector. The Niro’s backseat provides plenty of headroom and legroom for 6-footers and beyond. The cargo area isn’t as generous, but a 60/40-split-folding seatback adds valuable cargo/passenger flexibility. Like most hatchback, wagon or SUV-like vehicles, however, the Niro grows positively cavernous when you fold down the rear seats.
Exterior Styling
With its black plastic wheel arches, rear skid plate and design cues that add visual height, the Kia Niro resembles a small crossover SUV. Technically it’s more of a tall wagon or 5-door hatchback, but given America’s strong and growing preference for SUV. Kia is wise to position the Niro as a crossover. And if you don’t need the all-wheel drive, extra ground clearance or increased cargo capacity available in similarly priced SUV. The difference is academic. While every Niro gets modern touches like body-color door handles and mirrors, you have to reach the top-line Niro Touring to move out of 16-inch wheel covers into 18-inch alloys.
Favorite Features
Uvo3 Infotainment
Kia’s attractive, intuitive and functional UVO infotainment system is one of our favorites. And the Niro includes the newest version as standard equipment. UVO3 highlights include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. One-touch Pandora internet radio and other apps, 8GB of music storage, plus subscription-free telematics features. Like vehicle diagnostic and roadside assistance services.
Smart Cruise Control
We haven’t yet had the opportunity to put the new Niro’s adaptive cruise control through extended testing. But in the 2017 Kia Cadenza, the system is among the best we’ve used. It doesn’t overreact.
