Compact Hybrid SUV of the Year
Kia Niro Hybrid
The Kia Niro Hybrid now comes with a futuristic exterior to match its clever 1.6-litre hybrid drivetrain. Quiet and refined, this drivetrain allows the car to reach economy figures as close as 19.6km/L (as tested). The cabin of the Niro Hybrid is a great place for families as well. There's plenty of head and legroom, and the twin 10.25-inch displays are sure to impress those seated up front. All these make the Kia Niro Hybrid a great hybrid for the family.

Just got my hands on the Kia Niro and it's a total win! ? The drive is super smooth, with plenty of legroom and comfy seats - perfect for daily commutes or road trips. Safety features are top-notch too, giving me peace of mind on the road. And let's not forget the fuel efficiency, it's like a hybrid dream come true ?. But what really made the experience was Dom's sales service - comprehensive, friendly, and stress-free. He really made sure I was happy with my purchase.
 
Bought a Gen 2 Kia Niro Hybrid EX with free upgrade to EX Comfort. Very satisfied with the service provided by SE Mr David Phang @Leng Kee showrroom. From the moment after i viewed and test drive the Kia Niro, David managed to help me with the bidding of the guaranteed COE and got the car ready for collection within 2 weeks. I love the Snow Pearl white colour of the Niro hybrid and the amazing digital tech features of the car, coupled with the beautiful outlook of the car! Love the ride!
 
The car itself is excellent in its class as everyone else has already mentioned. But I
 
My first car that I've owned. I purchased the Comfort EX as it was on sale. Collected more than a year ago. Extremely spacious for its size and cc. The drive is also very smooth. The back seat can easily fit 4 average sized Singaporeans. The boot can easily fit 2 large luggages and then some. It is extremely fuel efficient in Singapore where I rarely drive above 100km/h. However, fuel efficiency drops once I travel at speeds beyond that (mostly in Malaysia). This car is definitely a huge value add to my family and so far, hasn't been anything close to a liability. Extremely pleased with our choice.
Verdict
The new Kia Niro Hybrid has soared to the top of its segment thanks to a winning combination of stunning futuristic design combined with a much improved hybrid drivetrain.

The car now comes with a bold new front that makes it impossible to mistake for any other car on the road.

And this futuristic design is matched by an equally future-ready drivetrain. The hybrid system here ensures that the Kia Niro only ever sips fuel, and it delivered an impressive 19.6km/L when we tested it. But equally stunning is the fact that it also comes with high refinement, making transitions between petrol and electric power practically seamless.

Step into the Kia Niro Hybrid and you'll continue to be impressed. There's a large panoramic curved display that displays all necessary information in a clear manner, and a clever LCD touch panel ensures that all the controls within the car are intuitive to use and well within reach of the driver.

The seats within the Kia Niro Hybrid also offer high comfort while staying thin to maximise interior space, and they are even wrapped in vegan leather, furthering the eco-friendly credentials of the car.

For all these future-ready features, as well as the fact that it is just such a looker, we think the Kia Niro Hybrid ought to take this year's prize as the best compact hybrid SUV.
