If you're looking for more power out of your crossover, it might be worth it for you to try the 2018 Kona on for size, whose turbocharged 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder can produce a maximum of 175 horsepower, much more than the Niro. However, where the Kona falls short is in the efficiency and tech department, especially when compared to the Niro's hybrid capability. Its 1.56 kWh 360-volt lithium polymer battery can help regenerate its energy and keep you driving up to 600 miles on one tank! Plus, with included infotainment and hi-fi audio capability, ample and comfortable seating, the Niro stands above all competition when it comes to keeping you connected and entertained along the ride. Plus, with Amazon Alexa compatibility on board, the Niro is even more of a part of the family than the Kona can claim. To top it all off, the Kia Drive Wise driver assistance suite can help the Niro give you a serene, peaceful drive every time. Some of its available features include:
- Blind Spot Detection
- Lane Change Assist
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Smart Cruise Control
- Forward Collision Warning System
- Lane Keep Assist System
- Park Assist System
- Many more!
