Hybrid shoppers looking for an impressive mix of fuel economy, comfort and eye-pleasing design will like the 2018 Kia Niro. It’s perfect for small families looking for a stylish, affordable and fun-to-drive runabout with a high-quality interior, hatchback versatility and room for five.
If you’re looking for the absolute highest miles-per-gallon rating, the Toyota Prius is still the king with a combined rating as high as 56 mpg. The Niro Plug-In Hybrid’s 26 miles of electric range is outperformed by the Chevy Volt, which can travel about 50 miles on a full battery charge. Although Kia markets the new Niro as an SUV, it is not available with all-wheel drive.
