Kia reveals first images of all-new Niro Hybrid Utility Vehicle

Last week, Kia released a new teaser image of the all-new Niro Hybrid Utility Vehicle (HUV) that they will debut next month at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show. This impressive new HUV was created through a collaboration between the brand’s design centers in California, USA and Namyang, Korea, and the goal was to create a dynamic design that would offer the traditional practicality and convenience of an SUV, but with a more luxurious look and feel.

This model has been equipped with a slimmer character line and rear windows, raised rear haunches, muscular wheel arches, high-mounted LED taillights, and a new downsized gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain that achieves a sub-90 g/km CO2 emissions rating. Overall, this model is meant to reflect Kia’s new dedicated eco-car platform and offer a glimpse at the direction they will be moving toward in the future.
