While some people may consider ‘Hybrid’ to be a 4-letter word meaning boring and uninspiring, we think the 2019 Kia Niro tests that idea. Yes, it’s a hybrid that can get very good miles per gallon, but it is also a fun-to-drive, versatile crossover. No more do you have to give up looks or flexibility for gas savings, with the ’19 Kia Niro you get both and look great at the exact same time.
In spite of being a hybrid, the Kia Niro 2019 has an unexpected amount of power for a small crossover. Motivation comes one system, a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine and Full Parallel Hybrid System. This hybrid power plant produces an overall of 139hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. That means that the Niro has basically the exact same horsepower as the rivals from Honda and Toyota but with considerably more torque. The hybrid power is attached to a 6-speed Dual Clutch Automatic that can return up to 52 miles per gallon on the freeway. So, the ’19 Niro is more powerful and decimates the competitors in fuel economy. What’s not to like?
The brand-new Kia Niro isn’t your common, bubble-shaped hybrid. The black cladded fenders and rocker rails combined with the 16-inch wheels, rear spoiler, body color outside mirrors, and LED positioning lights provide the Niro a much more muscular stance than many the other gas savers. Upgradeable options include HID headlights, LED DRL, LED rear combination lights, 18-inch alloy wheels, and power-folding, heated exterior mirrors among others. The interior is equally remarkable, a 7-inch touchscreen stereo, Bluetooth®, USB inputs, dual-zone automatic temp. control, and height-adjustable front seat belts are just a few of the standard features. If you so prefer, you can furnish your brand-new Kia Niro with features like heated/cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, 10-way power driver’s seat, leather seats, a 110v inverter, wireless phone charging, and an 8-inch touchscreen stereo.
The ’19 Niro features some remarkable standard modern technology, things like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Rear Camera, 7-inch touchscreen stereo, 4.2-inch LCD display, Active Eco System, Traction Control, TPMS, and Vehicle Stability Management are features on every brand-new Niro. Some of the optional tech available includes Front/Rear Parking Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Auto Emergency Braking (with Pedestrian Detection), Forward Collision Warning, Smart Cruise Control and a lot more. The ’19 Niro surprises at every angle.
