The new 2023 Kia Niro is a huge design departure from the outgoing model. It’s different inside and out, but the boldly styled crossover can’t escape Kia’s eclectic debut schedule. The company launched the global version late last year, but we will see the US model make its debut at this year’s New York Auto Show on April 13.
Kia didn’t say how the US Niro would differ from the global version, but we bet there will be minor tweaks. The new Niro takes inspiration from the company’s wild HabaNiro concept, borrowing the concept’s bold, contrasting rear pillar and long taillights. The crossover tones down the front-end styling, though the crossover does receive unique cladding along the front sides that doesn’t extend entirely around the vehicle.
