Kia’s EcoDynamics lineup is gaining some much-deserved attention from KBB.com, of Kelley Blue Book®. Proving that fuel-efficient vehicles can also be affordable, four Kia vehicles were recognized as top picks for “eco-friendly” cars under $40,000. The Kia Niro and Kia Optima Hybrid made the editors’ list of 10 best hybrid cars, the Optima PHEV was named among the best plug-in hybrid cars, and the Kia Soul EV was named one of the five best electric cars under $40,000.
“We’re very proud of the strides the Kia brand has been making to achieve its goal of increasing electrification and improving overall fuel economy by 2020,” said Orth Hedrick, KMA Vice President, Product Planning. “Having four of our vehicles recognized by Kelley Blue Book® as top ‘eco-friendly’ choices validates our priorities to the environment as well as our efforts to maximize affordability.”
The newest addition to Kia’s EcoDynamics lineup, the 2017 Kia Niro is raising the bar of what to expect from a hybrid. It features available High Intensity Discharge projector beam headlights, LED positioning lamps, and a sporty rear spoiler. The 2017 Kia Niro offers an EPA-estimated 52 mpg city/49 highway/50 combined on the FE trim.*
The Niro is a no-compromise vehicle that combines the best of crossover functionality with hybrid engineering and fuel economy. The "un-hybrid" is equipped with a highly responsive smooth-shifting dual-clutch automatic transmission for a fun-to-drive feel you won’t find on the competition. It also provides the kind of roomy interior space you don’t expect from a hybrid.
