The Niro Overview
Kia Niro is undeniably sleek, and, surprisingly, the crossover blends cabin seating with a 63.2-cubic-foot cargo area. Additionally, Kia Drive Wise for safety technologies is present, and you are sure of head-turning driver assist packages to suit every traffic condition. As a modern hybrid, the Kia Niro's efficiency is a luring spec for many, thanks to the combined 50 mpg.
New Niro LXS Special Edition Model
In its lineup, the Kia Niro offers an upgraded hybrid trim with high-end comfort and additional safety packages. The LXS Special Edition isn't one to forego, and shoppers taking it home get more features such as an underfloor cargo cabin, push-button start and more.
The Kia Niro's Innovative Features
The new Niro utilizes all the modern tech specs to keep you cruising through Portland, ME streets. For additional efficiency, Kia instills innovative performance technologies which ensure you get a smooth acceleration, economical gas consumption and maximum engine power.
To start with, the Niro features a regenerative braking system which is ideal for charging the car's battery. Ideally, this works by tapping energies produced anytime you step on the braking pedals. Secondly, Kia Niro uses a hybrid powertrain, which pairs the car's electric motor to the gasoline engine, resulting in a car that can drive a combined 50 mpg.
Under the hood, this hybrid machine carries a direct-injection 1.6-liter engine, which aids in delivering maximum power to the Kia Niro's hybrid drivetrain. This crossover bears a sport mode and a dual-clutch six-speed transmission. With these, your Saco rides get raised gear-shift points, excellent steering dynamics and enhanced throttle response.
A Stylish Body and an Elegant Cabin for the Kia Niro
Generally, the Kia Niro portrays a sporty design inside out. You will notice the diamond pattern front grille which rests boldly between the car LED headlights. With its sleek, sloping front end, you are also sure to leave an excellent first impression on anyone you meet. The body lines carefully integrate at the car's rear, running from the front to greet the LED lights in the rear.
Its cargo space is also something to admire. Even without the configurable seating, the cargo space available is plenty to hold your luggage or bring your groceries home to Gorham, ME. With the 60/40 split and fold seats, you get additional room for gear, plus several more compartments around the cabin for small items.
The cockpit is all about you, thanks to the intuitive screens, reachable buttons and ready-to-use dashboard functionalities. For the driver, the available ten-way power-adjustable seat sits in a high position, giving you a great view of the road ahead. Plus, both front seats can be heated when the weather turns cold.
Additionally, the steering also has heating functionality available, a feature that compliments the temperature control system for a personalized environment. Seat ventilation is also possible, and a power sunroof can provide clear sky views and fresh air at your command.
New Kia Niro Technology
At the base Niro's dashboard is an 8-inch touchscreen display. This standard screen is responsive and easy to use, but, if you need more, an available 10.25-inch display will suit you better. The upgrade comes with split-screen functionality and advanced voice command navigation.
Like in other modern vehicles, this new display also has Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which aid in connecting your smartphone to the Niro. When this happens, you can conveniently make calls, receive text messages and play your favorite tunes from the Niro's screen.
That's just not enough. On the drivers' end, a new 8-inch LCD cluster is available to provide all sorts of information about your car and trip at a glance. Whether it's the car fuel and range, speed or drive mode, you can get it all here.
For more connectivity, Kia Niro carries the popular UVO link app, which is a remote function activator through your smartphone. One of the key functions you can access through it is the Niro's remote start feature. Whether at a local Westbrook, ME joint, at the shopping mall or in your house, starting your vehicle through the app also allows you to set the temperature, ensuring you get your preferred climate when you sit down in the Niro.
Another available feature is the car finder. Parked your car in a crowded street or packed parking lot? You won't have to search up and down for it with the Niro. Through this feature, you can easily locate your Niro's position on the map.
Sometimes drivers can forget to lock their vehicles. If this happens with the new Niro, you simply log in to the app and lock the doors without walking back to the parking area. You can also use the UVO link to find popular locations like coffee shops.
