Kia Niro
Starting from: £20,000 (est.)
On sale: Summer 2016
You’re looking at Kia’s answer to the Toyota Prius. The Niro is a hybrid-only eco car with a unique chassis and drivetrain, whose aim is to help drag Kia’s overall emissions down by 2020. The crossover is roughly Nissan Qashqai sized, and links a 1.6-litre petrol engine to an electric motor, driving the front wheels through a nine-speed automatic. The result: 89g/km and lots of lovely space.
