Kia's first hybrid for UK market

摘要

Kia dealerships have just begun customer deliveries of the South Korean brand's first petrol-electric hybrid car to come to the UK. Niro has been launched as a mild hybrid, with a battery-fuelled electric motor boosting its petrol engine. But it will have greater potential to tap into a growing customer base when a plug-in hybrid follows in 2017. Niro, with combined fuel economy of up to 74.3mpg and CO_2 emissions starting at just 88g/km, joins the pure-electric Soul EV in Kia's green-car line-up and will soon be followed by the Optima plug-in hybrid.
