All-electric Kia Niro EV goes on sale in South Korea

The Niro EV occupies a unique position in the global market as an all-electric crossover, and sits alongside the existing hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants of the car. More than 200,000 have sold globally since the Niro's introduction in 2016 (including more than 65,000 European sales).

The Korean carmaker has received more than 5,000 pre-orders for the Niro EV in its domestic market since the car was first revealed earlier this year. The Niro EV is to be Kia's second globally sold electric vehicle after the Soul EV. The new model will make its European debut at the 2018 Paris Motor Show this October, and will go on sale in Europe by the end of 2018. 

Matching its sporty, crossover design, the Niro EV offers buyers long-distance, zero-emissions driving ability and enjoyable performance with a next generation electric vehicle powertrain, with driving range of up to 450km.
