Exterior Features & Lighting

Sleek yet striking. The Kia Niro’s exterior has ‘future’ written all over it — with a stylish front bonnet framed around a signature matt/gloss two-tone tiger nose grille. This upfront design confidence is built on a powerful lower cladding, for an extra-wide look that accommodates an integrated central charging point.

For a greener future with WLTP

The testing measures for car pollutants, emissions and fuel consumption are changing. The new Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) aims to provide more accurate comparable vehicle data that better reflects realistic driving conditions.

¹ MPG figures are obtained from laboratory testing and intended for comparisons between vehicles and may not reflect real driving results.
