2017 Kia Niro Hybrid made ASEAN debut

MANILA:  The updated Kia Stinger has been already revealed at the NAIAS 2017 and now, the South Korean automaker has delighted the ASEAN market with its Hybrid crossover. Yes, Kia Niro hybrid has made its ASEAN debut in Singapore. The car was first revealed at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show as company’s first hybrid crossover.

The styling of this hybrid crossover is tagged as “un-hybrid design’ by the company, as the designers have chosen a more conventional look for improved practicality. The front features Kia’s prominent ‘Tiger Nose’ grille which is accompanied with upswept headlights by the top corners of the fascia. The bumper of this B-segment crossover is also designed with an unconventional approach, featuring fog lights positioned slightly at the centre. Air flaps and air curtains are also equipped to cut down on drag.

The defined shoulder line, an upright roofline that goes downwards at rear perfectly accentuates the overall design of the car. At the rear, the spoiler on the tailgate and taillights which are inspired from Kia’s new design language completes the sporty feel of this green crossover. The overall dimensions of the car measure 4355 mm X 1805 mm X 1545 mm (L X W X H) and wheelbase rest at 2700 mm, giving enough room to the occupants in the cabin.

The cabin features a driver-oriented centre console which is finished with piano black inserts and aluminium effect. The name a few, the feature list includes automatic climate control, 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 4.2-inch multi-information display and wireless smartphone charging system.

Under the hood, it is equipped with a 1.6-litre GDI inline-four engine which is accompanied with an electric motor packed with lithium-ion batteries. The total power output is 148 PS while the peak torque measures 264 Nm. The electric motor transfers the power to rear wheels while the engine delivers to the front wheels. The engine is coupled to a six-speed dual clutch transmission.

Though Niro hybrid has made its entry in the Singapore we might see this model in the Philippines as well. Hope Kia has some plans for it at the upcoming MIAS 2017 in March.
