If you happen to be hunting for a compact crossover that's every bit as fuel-efficient as it is fun to drive, we here at Kia of West Nyack think you may well meet your match in ours, the spanking-new 2017 Niro.
And why do we feel as we do?
That answer, conveniently enough, can be found in the clip below. Join Kelley Blue Book Senior Associate Video Editor Zach Vlasuk to hear all about the Niro:
Beneath the SUV's snout, a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine holds court with an electric motor and lithium-polymer battery. Rated at a respectable 139 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, the Niro sends that juice to its front wheels via a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
We'd be remiss, however, if we didn't also mention its fuel economy. When had on the entry-level FE trim, for example, the Niro will achieve a spectacular 50 mpg combined (52 city/49 highway).
To learn more about this gorgeous gas-sipper, or to take one for a spin, we suggest you set a course for our West Nyack, NY location. Our automotive aces are on hand to address your every query about the Niro, or any other Kia model within the current lineup.
