Kia has an ever-growing range of electrified cars in the UK. These include the flagship EV9 large electric SUV and more recent EV3 small electric SUV – both World Car of the Year winners – along with the established EV6, upcoming EV5 and EV4, and hybrid versions of its top-selling Sportage.
The Kia Niro plug-in hybrid is an interesting proposition, though. Kia’s small family SUV offers a choice of three powertrains – hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric. The Niro plug-in hybrid is presented as a direct alternative for those not yet ready to go fully electric, but who want more EV capability than a regular hybrid. Indeed, for some, it could be the car that convinces them fully electric really can work.
