Kia’s dramatic and modern Niro urban lifestyle concept
vehicle, which was unveiled last September at the Frankfurt Motor Show, today
made its U.S. debut at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show. The Niro hints at a possible future B-segment
contender ready to take on the city environment with style and fun-to-drive
attitude, featuring a mix of contrasting materials and compact, purposeful
dimensions. The rally raid-like Niro
also expands on Kia’s alternative propulsion story with its hybrid electric
powertrain working through an advanced four-wheel drive system.
