Irvine, California, USA
The next-generation 2023 Kia Niro CUV by KIA America has been designed from the ground up to meet and exceed the expectations of eco-minded consumers.
For its future-forward and sustainable design, 2023 Kia Niro has recently been awarded a 2022 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
With striking styling cues and a commitment to sustainability and connectivity throughout, the 2023 Niro will launch in the United States with three highly efficient, electrified powertrains: hybrid electric (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and all-electric (EV).
“Kia’s electrified vehicle momentum continues with the launch of the all-new second-generation Niro, which offers more refinement, versatility, connectivity, and technology than ever,” stated Steven Center, COO & EVP, Kia America.
The 2023 Niro was designed for today’s needs and for sustainable future mobility.
An urban environment like Manhattan, where space is at a premium, provides an optimal backdrop for the launch of the 2023 Niro.
When it arrives at Kia retailers the Niro family will present state-of-the-art electrified powertrain options and outstanding efficiency wrapped in a sleek, aerodynamic, and technologically focused package.
In its second generation, Niro remains the only vehicle on the market available with three different electrified propulsion options.
Inside and out, the 2023 Niro features bold design inspired by the “Opposites United” philosophy that infuses inspiration from nature with aerodynamic refinement.
The exterior of the 2023 Niro embodies a sophisticated and adventurous sense of purpose that takes strong influence from the 2019 HabaNiro concept, and it achieves an impressive drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.29.
Its upswept, striking daytime running lights (DRL) flank the signature tiger nose grille, which has evolved with the new Kia brand identity.
At the rear, boomerang-shaped LED taillights sit alongside uncomplicated surface treatments for a concise and aerodynamic styling combination.
At the same time, the heartbeat-shaped rear reflector, rugged-looking skid plate garnish, and lower bumper enhance the front-end design.
