All-new 2017 Kia Niro set to arrive at Performance Kia

MOOSIC, Pa., Dec. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Recent years have seen obvious improvements from gas-electric hybrid vehicles, but there still seems to be one overwhelming similarity for many of them: most seem to be compact cars. Fortunately, Kia has decided to reinvent what is expected from a hybrid vehicle, and Performance Kia in Moosic, Pennsylvania, will soon welcome this new model to its showroom. The 2017 Kia Niro, expected to arrive soon after the new year, is a hybrid crossover SUV, which is something of a rarity in the modern automotive marketplace.

Powered by a high-efficiency 1.6-liter gasoline-direct injection (GDI) engine mated to a 32 kW electric motor, the 2017 Kia Niro is expected to produce a net output of 146 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque on its way to an estimated 50 combined miles per gallon. Additionally, with the use of a six-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission, the performance profile is suitably composed and energetic.

Once inside the 2017 Kia Niro, up to five adult occupants are treated to upscale accommodations, including heated and cooled front seats, an available heated steering wheel, and 60/40 split-folding rear seats. Additionally, tech features such as UVO eServices, Smart Cruise Control and multiple driver-assistive amenities help to provide convenience and connectivity in equal measure.

The 2017 Kia Niro is expected to arrive at Performance Kia, serving the areas of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, shortly after the new year. Interested drivers are encouraged to visit the dealership for further details or to schedule a test drive. The dealer may also be contacted online at performancekiapa.com, or by telephone at 866-926-3959.
