KIA showcased its latest hybrid concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The Niro was created at the company’s Frankfurt design and features a turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine coupled to a hybrid powertrain. The Niro could be Kia’s rival to the Nissan Juke and features scissor doors, LED lights and a stainless steel roof. The 160PS engine powers the front wheels and is coupled to a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmissions. The hybrid system - which is powered from regenerative braking - delivers up to 45PS to the rear wheels and kicks in when road conditions require extra grip.
