Kia Corporation debuted the all-new Niro for the first time today at the 2021 Seoul Mobility Show, with the goal of making sustainable mobility accessible to everyone.
Kia's commitment to creating a more sustainable future is embodied in the all-new Niro. The new model will appeal to the complex needs of sustainability-conscious consumers as an integral part of Kia's growing eco-friendly lineup.
"Kia continues to take steps toward a more sustainable future, inviting everyone to join the movement into the new mobility era," said Kia President and CEO Ho Sung Song. "With its eco-friendly materials, advanced technology, and electric powertrains, the all-new Kia Niro makes it simple to live a sustainable lifestyle while also meeting customers' practical needs."
The all-new Niro has been completely redesigned from the ground up, following the company's Opposites United design philosophy and fulfilling the ethos of 'Joy for Reason.' It draws inspiration from nature in its design as well as the selection of colour, material, and finish to achieve a perfect balance between an environmentally responsible approach and a forward-thinking outlook.
Niro's exterior design, with its stylish and bold crossover looks and high-tech two-tone body, shows a strong influence from the 2019 Habaniro concept. A wide rear pillar improves aerodynamics by increasing airflow and blending in with the boomerang-shaped rear taillights.
Kia's signature 'tiger face' has been redesigned for the all-new Niro and now extends from the hood to the rugged fender below. The striking 'heartbeat' LED DRL (daytime running lights) finish off the contemporary front design, creating confidence and a striking look on the road.
The one-of-a-kind vertical taillight design emphasises aerodynamics and technology. With its strong shoulders and upright windows, it echoes the vehicle's wide and stable stance. Niro's rear design combines simple surface treatments with dynamic sections to emphasise modernity and provide an additional point of interest for consumers.
