All-New Kia Niro EVHas Arrived at Roadside!

Roadside had a fantastic day revealing the All-New Kia Niro EV to our customers!  

Those who came along to the event were able to get hands-on with the all-new Niro as well as Kia's latest electrified models at our 'Electric Experience Event' on Monday 4th July. We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who attended the event - it was fantastic being able to see you all in person again and we were delighted to take a few orders on the evening!  View a selection of photos from the evening on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/roadsidegarages.

Did you know that you can still beat the queues to a new car? A £500 fully refundable deposit will secure your place in the queue to take delivery of the all-new e-Niro as soon as September this year!

On sale now, the all-new Niro is now at Roadside for customers to discover, jump into and explore for the first time. The all-new Niro family is being launched with three electrified powertrains: Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and fully-electric.

The Kia Niro was introduced in 2016 as a fully electrified model, initially launched with a Hybrid powertrain followed shortly after by the Niro Plug-in Hybrid. The fully electric
e-Niro was added in early 2018 and has become the second best-selling electric car in the UK. Available with the same three distinct powertrains, the all-new Niro builds on the outgoing model’s success, and is Kia’s second most popular model range after the Sportage.

The all-new Niro range starts with the Hybrid, powered by a Smartstream 1.6-litre GDi petrol engine and assisted by a 43bhp electric motor, giving a combined output of 139bhp. The all-new Niro Plug-in Hybrid uses the same petrol engine as the Hybrid, but with a more powerful 83bhp electric motor producing a combined output of 180bhp. Combined with an 11.1kWh lithium-ion polymer battery, the car is capable of up to 40 miles electric-powered range – more than enough for most commutes. Both cars feature an innovative ‘Green Zone’ driving mode, which automatically switches to electric drive based on location guidance from the navigation system, driver patterns, or manual selection by the driver, for example around schools or built-up areas.

The all-new Niro EV features a range of up to 287 miles per charge of its 64.8kWh lithium-ion polymer battery, and a 201bhp electric motor. 10-80% recharging takes just 45 minutes using a DC CCS rapid charger – nine minutes quicker than the outgoing model.
