2017 Kia Niro Touring: First Drive

In our first test drive of the 2017 Kia Niro, we've found a formidable foe to Toyota Prius with a different spin on design and driving that sets it apart. Full first drive review inside and out.

Thanks for the review. I had never even heard of that model before. I'm going to send the video to a friend who's looking for a new commuter.

We had a KIA Sedona for ten years and it was very reliable. Only problem with KIAs is that they depreciate terribly.

Nice looking, practical and good value, but I'm a little skeptical of the "fun" claim. Nice review.

Going after the Prius? Koreans take no prisoners. In a few years we might see a pickup truck.

This looks like comp also to the HRV by Honda but also seems to compete with their soul.

upcoming nissan juke hybrid will blow this out of the water!

AWD would have hit it out of the park!
