Overview of the Kia Niro

Are you in the market for a small hybrid crossover/SUV that offers good equipment levels and low running costs? If so, the Kia Niro might be the perfect choice for you. Launched in 2016 and replaced in 2022, the Niro received mixed reviews from the UK motoring media.

The Niro was available in regular hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully-electric models. The plug-in hybrid version was particularly well-received, offering a good balance of efficiency and affordability. The electric e-Niro was also highly praised for its performance.

While the Niro had few direct rivals, it faced competition from a wide range of comparable cars in its price range. Critics praised its equipment levels and running costs but noted its average driving experience and lack of boot space.

If you’re considering the Kia Niro, you might also be interested in alternatives like the Citroen C4 Cactus, Ford Kuga, or Honda CR-V. The Niro has received several awards over the years, including Best Used Hybrid Car and Best Hybrid.
