TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2018 Kia Niro

2018 Kia Niro Available Features: Cons
YearComment
The Kia Niro offers a full array of collision avoidance tech on all but the lowest trim level. Unlike with some competitors, you can also get a sunroof and heated front seats without stepping up to the top trim. If you do step up to the Touring, the front seats are also ventilated and the steering wheel can be heated. But there are some major features you cannot get. While the Niro has the styling of a crossover it is not offered with all-wheel-drive. And while the related Ioniq is offered as a pure EV with stronger yet silent acceleration (I enjoyed driving it much more than the Ioniq hybrid), the Niro isn't offered as a pure EV. A plug-in hybrid will be offered for 2018, but its electric motor won't be nearly as strong as the Ioniq EV's. see full Kia Niro review
