The dedicated hybrid crossover uses a 1.6-liter "Kappa" GDI engine, with 105 PS (104 HP) and 147 Nm (108lb-ft) of torque, paired to a 32 kW electric motor and a 1.56 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack, for a total output of 141 PS (139 HP) and 264 Nm (195lb-ft) of torque. Power is transferred to the road through a six-speed double-clutch transmission, with Kia claiming that peak torque is available in first gear.
Engineered from the ground up as a dedicated hybrid vehicle, the new Kia Niro promises high levels of practicality and comfortable interior dimensions, despite its reduced size, with "class-leading headroom" and a cargo capacity of 421 liters. A full-size spare wheel can be fitted beneath the boot floor, depending on the market.
To help the driver achieve better fuel economy numbers, the Korean maker has fitted the Niro with what it calls Eco-DAS(Driver Assistance System) incorporating the brand’s first application of Coasting Guide and Predictive Energy Control that utilize the navigation system and cruise control to anticipate topographical changes on the road ahead and actively manage energy flow.
