Choices, choices. There's not one smart new second-世代 Kia Niro ― but three. The line-up 構成するs a trio of: a 石油-electric hybrid; a pure electric Niro EV, and a useful plug-in hybrid (PHEV) which I've just been 運動ing.?

価値（がある） a plug: Kia's new Niro PHEV 連合させるs pace and economy

The three Kia Niro 選択s 利用できる

- The?PHEV model 連合させるs a 1.6-litre GDi 石油 engine with a 62kW (83bhp) electric モーター?to give a total 生産（高） of 180bhp. It does 残り／休憩（する） to 62 mph i n 9.6seconds up to a 最高の，を越す速度(を上げる） of 104mph, with CO2 放出／発行s as low as 18g/km and 普通の／平均（する）燃料 efficiency of 285.5mpg to 351mpg 供給するd you 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 it. The electric-only 運動ing 範囲 is up to 40 miles and the car is 定価つきの between ￡33,525 and ￡39,025 for the 最高の，を越す-end '4' 見解／翻訳／版 which I drove.

- The self-非難する Niro Hybrid has a 1.6-litre 石油 engine with a 32kW (43bhp) electric モーター to create 139bhp of 力／強力にする which 推進するs it from 残り／休憩（する） to 62mph in 10.4 seconds up to a 最高の，を越す速度(を上げる） of 102mph, with CO2 放出／発行s of 100g/km, and up to 64.2mpg.

- Costing between ￡36,245 and ￡41,745, the 無-放出／発行s Niro EV is 力／強力にするd by a 201bhp electric モーター and a long-範囲 64.8kWh 殴打／砲列 pack, 許すing it to 加速する from 残り／休憩（する） to 62mph in 7.8seconds up to a 最高の，を越す速度(を上げる） of 104 mph and with a （人命などを）奪う，主張するd 範囲 of 285 miles. It can be recharged to 80 per cent in 43 minutes using a DC 早い charger, or 45 minutes with a 100kW 早い charger.

全体にわたる, more than 70,000 Niros have been sold in the UK in the six years since the 範囲 was first 開始する，打ち上げるd in 2016.?

During 2021 and the first half of 2022, the all-electric Niro was the second best-selling pure electric 乗り物 in the UK.?

In a choice of eight colours, the Niro PHEV plug in hybrid is a smart and 精製するd family runaround. And my 最高の，を越す of the 範囲 '4' was a 賞与金 and spacious 一括. 地雷（機の）カム with all the bells and whistles 含むing 長，率いる-up 陳列する，発揮する, a sunroof and a host of safety and driver 援助（する） features.

It won't 始める，決める the world alight for pace, but it does the 職業 and looks the 商売／仕事.

In Sport 方式 the hybrid 始める，決める-up 申し込む／申し出s comfortable 巡航するing. And putting it into 'Eco' spent a lot of time running around town 滑らかに and satisfyingly in 無-放出／発行s 'electric' 方式. The hybrid's 石油 engine can sound a little raspy if you 押し進める too hard, but that soon settles 負かす／撃墜する.

The steering wheel paddl es 二塁打 up ? as 手動式の gears in Sport 方式, and to finesse the ブレーキing regeneration in Eco 方式.

Other clever tech 含むs a いわゆる intelligent 'Green Zone' 運動ing 方式.

This automatically switches to electric 力／強力にする, based on 場所指導／手引 from the 航海 system, patterns of 運動ing , or 手動式の選択 by the driver.

Kia explains: 'Using the touchscreen, drivers can 指定する built-up areas, roads の近くに to schools and hospitals, or beauty 位置／汚点／見つけ出すs as Green Zones, and the 乗り物 then automatically switches to electric only 運動ing to 減ずる exhaust 放出／発行s to 無 in those 環境s.'

The new 見解／翻訳／版 has also grown and is 65mm longer, 20mm wider and 10mm taller, with a 20mm longer wheelbase

殴打／砲列s 嘘（をつく） flat and under the 床に打ち倒す of the EV, but （問題を）取り上げる space under 後部 seat on hybrid models, and beneath the boot 床に打ち倒す on the plug-in hybrid

供給するing of course there's still enough 殴打／砲列告発（する），告訴（する）／料金.

殴打／砲列s 嘘（をつく） flat and under the 床に打ち倒す of the EV, but （問題を）取り上げる space under 後部 seat on hybrid models, and beneath the boot 床に打ち倒す on the plug-in hybrid. So although carrying capacity has 増加するd on all models - it has 475 litres of luggage space (with seats up) on the Niro EV - that 減少（する）s to 451 litres for the hybrid and 3 48 litres for the plug-in hybrid.

全体にわたる, Kia sold more than 90,000 cars last year ? with a market 株 of 5.5 per cent, making Kia the eighth best-selling car 製造業者 in the UK. Hybrids, plug-in hybrids and electric 乗り物s accounted for nearly a third (32 per cent) of UK sales. Globally, Kia 計画（する）s to introduce 14 pure electric models by 2027.

Kia UK CEO and 大統領，／社長 Paul Philpott said: 'The 最新の Niro has something for everyone. The Niro Hybrid caters for those that don't have 非難する施設s at home, while the plug-in hybrid and EV 許す owners to travel 重要な distances on electric 力／強力にする alone.'

The 初めの Niro was 開始する，打ち上げるd with a little help from its namesake, Hollywood actor Robert De Niro. I wonder if he's waiting for this one? (Talking Italian).
