The Kia Niro is a brand new crossover SUV, which has been produced by the Kia Motor Company for only one year. The 2017 Kia Niro was first introduced to the world at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show and has a unique take on the affordable crossover SUV market. It has been a highly anticipated vehicle, which was first announced during an auto show in Germany in 2013.
One of the biggest selling points for the Niro is the extremely strong fuel efficiency. The new 2017 SUV is by far the most fuel efficient hybrid sub-compact SUV ever produced. Early estimates have concluded that it has fuel efficiency in excess of 75 miles per gallon, which is more than double the rate of some other SUVs that the new crossover by Kia competes with.
One of the main reasons that the Niro has such strong efficiency is the fact that it is built with special lightweight materials, which has not always been used in SUVs. This material allows it to use a four-cylinder engine that produces around 140 horsepower.
The 2017 Niro is similar to other SUVs produced by the car company in that it has four different trim levels. The base trim level is the FE trim, which can normally come with a low price of around $22,000. The highest trim level for the SUV is the Touring trim. This trim level will cost around $30,000. Overall, the trim levels are very similar. They all come with front wheel drive and use the same engine. The main difference is that the higher trims have a slightly larger body, more safety features, and some premium upgrades.
While the SUV is best known for its fuel efficiency, it still has some safety features that make it safe to drive. It comes with many of the same standard features, including brake assist, traction control, rearview cameras, and a variety of other features. Those that are looking to buy a higher trim level will be able to receive several additional upgrades and features as well.
The 2017 model also comes with several features that can make it comfortable to drive. Despite the fact that it is a subcompact SUV, it still comfortably sits five people and has additional space for cargo. The SUV comes standard wth cloth, but can be upgraded to have leather upholstery. The SUV also has a lot of upgradeable tech features including a touchscreen display, an Infotainment system, and an impressive audio system.
I had the pleasure of driving the 2017 Kia Niro crossover SUV at the Kia National Press Introduction. If you have the chance, give this car a drive.
That Kia is a fantastic looking car! I love that it is Eco Friendly!
KIA has really great models out there and the Niro looks really interesting! Love the fact that its known for its fuel-efficiency.
oh how fun! We are in the market for a new Small SUV/Cross over! I’m going to have to go check out the Kia Niro!
I’m not a Kia girl but my friend drive that looks really good!
This car sounds awesome. My cousin drives a Kia and she says it’s a great car brand.
The Niro is the no-compromise vehicle. Thoughtfully designed to combine the benefits of the crossover and hybrid worlds.
What a beautiful vehicle! I normally think that eco-friendly cars look like little clown cars. But this look great. It would be perfect to drive in the city.
Kia has come along way! I love the designs and I would actually consider buying one.
I used to own 2 Kias when I first started driving. They have came such a long way I am so happy for the brand and the new bells and whistle they have developed to make it a stylish trendy car.
I do not own a car, but buying an eco-friendly one is definitely on my check list for when I do! Love the look of this KIA SUV 🙂
I have always heard great things about Kias. I would love to take one for a test drive.
That is one gorgeous ride! I love Kia as a whole, so I’m really excited about this new ecofriendly model.
The next car we get my husband wants to look into getting a Kia. It looks like they have a lot of great options for this car! This is my husbands favorite of all the KIA’s
What a good looking car. I love how it holds bikes on top.
That is a great looking car! I have always liked the look of Kias too. They’re very nice looking cars.
This looks like a fantastic car! My sister has a Kia and loves it, I have always wanted to test one out!
I am impressed with this new car. Hopefully, I will be in the market for a new car in a few years. Kia has come a long way since I bought one in 07. I didn’t keep that car very long but it was affordable and it was a new car when I needed one.
This looks like such a great car! I’ve never had a Kia, but I’ve always heard such nice things about the cars. Love this color!
The KIA has come so far in the last few years, this one looks absolutely amazing I would love to give it a test drive.
Talk about an sleek looking car! Not to mention, the fact that it’s eco-friendly is awesome!
This sounds like the kind of SUV that will be perfect for travelers. I’d be pretty happy about its fuel efficiency!
We are going to be looking for a new car soon and the Niro really seems like a great option!!! Love how it looks!
Wow looks so nice. I love kia they have some really great features.
What a nice looking vehicle. I love having a car that gets good gas mileage. I do a lot of driving and that can save me money!
This car looks amazing! I would love to take it for a test drive.
That is one NICE car. I need a new one SO bad. This looks like it would fit our active lifestyle super well!
I will be looking for a new car this summer. I will have to add the 2017 Kia Niro to my test drive list. It looks like it has a lot of the features I am looking for.
I love the look of the 2017 Kia Niro. I always hear great reviews for Kia vehicles.
This looks like a nice car for small families. I am the proud owner of two Kias!
This looks like a great sporty car. My husband is just about ready for a new car, and this would be fantastic for him. Plus we love our Kia Sedona.
I love that blue! This looks like a great fun yet practical car.
Kias are nice cars. We had one we rented on a trip and it worked great.
Another car to check out this year. Not sure if my friends already learned about it. Will definitely let them know.
That looks like a great car! It is elegant and very stylish! Love it!!
Wow! The Kia Niro looks nice and sleek!! It looks like a luxury car, but actually affordable.
Believe it or not, I’ve never driven a Kia! I’m usually more of a Toyota or Lexus kinda gal, but I like how this car seems great for road trips and going outdoors! It kind of reminds me of the RAV4, which I love! Maybe I’ll have to give the Kia Niro a test drive after all!
Um, is there a way I could get one of those Kia Niro’s for free? just asking! that would be awesome and really make my day : ) I think that car would be perfect for me and my kids! I want one!
What a great looking car! I’ll have to keep it mind when I look for a new one!
This is a great looking car! We are actually looking to be getting a new car this summer so anything like this is so helpful to me right now. There are so many choices!
That sounds like an awesome car. I have heard so many good things about Kias.
Say anything you want, but it is the new and super high ratings that Kia gets these days that really thrills me! I would love for this one to be our next car, it is gorgeous!
Kia makes such great vehicles. When we had our car totaled, we wound up replacing it with a Kia.
Kia really is upping their game. I love that they’re giving us a lot of great choices. Their cars are perfect for families as well, and I love the features!
I haven’t owned a Kia but would love to have this one. It looks like the perfect car for me. I love SUVs and cross overs but am open to owning a smaller more fuel efficient car like the Kia Niro.
I am so impressed with this car! I”m a Kia fan and this car is definitely on my radar!
This looks like a very stylish and affordable car. We are searching for a car to replace our sporty coupe, which is not really practical any more.
I also like that this care has enough HP at 140 to merge safely into heavy-traffic type interstates and so forth.
we own a KIA vehicle too, this one looks so goood! gonna check this out on their shop!
I have never owned a Kia but this one looks exceptional. 75 mpg is amazing so I will consider it for my next car. I only hope they continue producing them for at least a few more years.
I’m a huge fan of Kia the brand! We had a Sorento many years back. I don’t think this one is available by us yet.
Kia have really uped their style of their cars. My first two cars were Kias so I know the difference! Glad you had a good ride at the press conference!
Kia has come a long way. We were surprised to call KIA our family car actually as we have always been loyal to a certain manufacturer… however we love our kia and wouldn’t change it for the world.
An SUV that has good fuel efficiency would be perfect for travelers. I think this sounds like a great car!
We love both of our Kias. I would love to test out this model to see how it compared to the rest.

My DIL has a Kia and loves it. She’s put a lot of miles on it!! Her dad and sister have Kias too. I’d love to explore their SUV options more!
I dreaded the “mom car” for so long. I didn’t want to drive something boring, just because it was practical. The Niro looks like a great option that’s fun and gets the mom job done.
That’s a really nice looking vehicle! I really like how powerful it seems to be and yet it’s so eco-friendly. It would make the perfect family car.
That Kia model looks sporty and function, definitely like it’s worth a test drive. I’ve never owned one but I rent Kia cars frequently and am now considering this brand for my next car soon.
Oh wow! This looks great! I’ve been a lover of Kia vehicles. I love the stylish design of this one! 😀
I have been fascinated by cars. Having our own cars give us its own benefits. SUV cars designs are great.
Loving these sleek looks on Kia! We are in the market for a new car too!
I have found my next vehicle. I am loving the look of the Kia Niro. The fact that it is so fuel efficient is awesome. I always like to save money on gas when I can.
That is such a beautiful color. I recently got a new van, but if this were available I may have gone for it instead.
