The first Kia Niro was launched in 2016 and since then several new models have hit the market.
Drivers can choose from a 100% electric car or a hybrid and it’s one of the three most popular cars drivers search for when looking for car insurance on MoneySuperMarket.
One of the reasons it’s so popular is the additional features that it come with. This includes a seven-year (or 100,00 mile) warranty and its forward collision-avoidance assist technology, which alerts drivers to potential dangers and automatically brakes if they don’t respond.
You can also navigate the fastest routes, check for parking and charge points, and even get the weather forecast with the Kia Connect on-board and live services.
For more information on the Kia Niro, see the Kia website.
Now in its second generation, the Kia Niro is available as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and a full electric car. The latter, known as the Niro EV, replaces the e-Niro, which was the third best-selling electric car in the UK in 2022. All versions have longer electric ranges and offer good levels of equipment and spacious passenger interiors, although the boot on the PHEV is smaller.
