Hybrid Kia Niro is a 'Prius SUV'

摘要

High-rise Niro, due next year, aims to blend Nissan Qashqai practicality with Toyota Prius efficiency. This Kia Niro hybrid will be launched as a high-riding, SUV-like rival to the Toyota Prius next autumn - and kick-start the firm's plans to nearly triple the number of electrified vehicles it has on sale from four to 11 by 2020. The Niro sits between the Kia Soul and Kia Sportage in size and is described by its makers as a Hybrid Utility Vehicle (HUV) rather than an SUV, because they believe it will be unique in the market. Kia claims the Niro blends the appeal and practicality of a Nissan Qashqai with the efficiency of the Prius.
