2018 KIA Niro - Roomy, versatile, and fuel-efficient, the 2018 Niro is one capable crossover-hybrid. Smooth and reliable performance is delivered through our full parallel
hybrid system that pairs an energy-dense 1.56 kWh lithium-ion battery, a
lightweight electric motor and the Niro's 1.6L, gasoline-direct
injection (GDI) engine for a combined 195 lb-ft of torque. The result is
high efficiency performance. The Niro makes the most of every driving situation. At low speeds, it
can operate in EV (electric vehicle) mode. When you need a little extra
power to accelerate and climb, the engine and electric motor run at the
same time. The Niro can even recharge a low battery at fixed speeds. Any time you slow down, the regenerative braking system charges Niro up.
Then, during deceleration, the electric traction motor captures the
kinetic energy to recharge the battery. While many hybrids use a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the
Niro raises the bar by using a highly responsive, 6-speed dual-clutch
automatic transmission (DCT) that shifts gears smoothly and quickly. The
result is a crisp, exhilarating drive. This is how a hybrid should
perform.
