Stand by for a Kia onslaught. The popular Korean company has just launched its latest generation Niro crossover and, as with the original Niro, it is available with the whole gamut of electrified powertrains.
In the past couple of weeks we have tested the Niro Hybrid, the Niro Plug-In Hybrid, and the purely electric Niro, which used to be known as the E-Niro, but is now called the Niro EV.
We’re going to kick off with the Niro EV this week. This car, which was launched in 2019, has been a massive success for Kia, selling 26,000 units in the UK alone. And although the platform upon which it sits is completely new, the powertrain itself is carried over from the original car. That means a 64.8kWh electric motor putting out 210bhp.
