2017 Kia Niro Breaks World Record
Niro Guinness World Record
Traveling cross country may seem like a daunting adventure, but now when you’re driving the 2017 Kia Niro! Two friends recently set out to break a Guinness World Record in the new Urban Crossover Hybrid Vehicle. Driver Wayne Gerdes and co-driver, Robert Wringer managed to drive from Los Angeles to New York City – that’s about 3,715.4 miles – using only 48.5 gallons of gas. In the 2017 Kia Niro, that means they only had to stop about 4 times! The new world record for driving across country from coast to coast is now 76.6 MPG.
“We’re extremely pleased with the Niro’s record-breaking performance,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning KMA. “We set out to build a vehicle that offers real-world utility, great looks and fantastic mileage, and setting the Guinness World Record® title confirms our achievement.”
We know you’re getting impatient, but don’t worry, the 2017 Kia Niro will be arriving at Destination Kia in just a few months and we promise to keep you updated regularly!

Kia Teases GT Concept With New Website
You may have heard the rumors circulating about the very first sports sedan to emerge from Kia, the Kia GT Concept. So far, there haven’t been too many details released on it, only that it will be a Rear-Wheel Drive Four-Door Sports Sedan aimed at luxury performance fans. Now, Kia announced that they will be debuting the GT at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show on January 8th!
While the unveiling is only a month away, Kia knows that they have many impatient fans! That’s why they’ve launched a website called The Curve Ahead. This website will be featuring video clips and images that showcase the different features and performance capabilities of the GT Concept.
“The Curve Ahead is all about potential,” Kia explained. “The potential to clip every apex, and consume every straight. To take on each twist and turn with agility, speed and progressive design. With a new paradigm of performance on the horizon, Kia’s newest vehicle takes to the grueling Nürburgring to realize its full potential.”

Your steering wheel is one of the features of your vehicle that you touch each and every time you drive. Therefore, it is not surprising to note that it can become quite dirty since it is constantly being touched and handled. In fact, the constant use can cause the steering wheel to be covered in all kinds of body oil, dirt, and bacteria that we have tracked in from all of the other objects that we touch on a daily basis. Yet, even with all of this outside contamination the steering wheel is generally overlooked when it comes to vehicle maintenance.
However, the truth is that cleaning your steering wheel is actually a relatively simple process and one that should not take you more than a few minutes. All you need is some all-purpose cleaner, a microfiber towel and some warm water. Start by spraying some of the cleaner onto the towel, not the steering. This is important because spraying the wheel directly could cause fluid to leak into the clear plastic in the gauge buster and you will not be able to remove it.
Once you spray the towel, you then use it to wipe down the steering wheel in 360-degree turns in order to give it a good clean. If your steering wheel has not been scrubbed in a while then you could follow that step up by using a toothbrush and a three-to-one mixture of water and all-purpose cleaner to get into the crevices and other areas that need a deeper scrubbing.
After you finish scrubbing wipe the steering wheel down using a microfiber towel and warm water in order to remove any excess cleaner from the wheel. You can even take things up a notch if you would line by using a steam machine if you have access to one.
