Kia Niro concept to
be unveiled at Frankfurt
Frankfurt - Kia has
confirmed that its dramatic new European concept, to be unveiled at the
65th Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) in Frankfurt, will be
called the Kia Niro.
The Kia Niro hints at a
possible future B-segment contender ready to take on the urban
environment with style and tenacity, and will preview an innovative new
powertrain when it is revealed on 10 September. The car was designed at
Kia’s Frankfurt design studio - less than a kilometre away from the IAA
- under the direction of Gregory Guillaume, Chief Designer Europe.

Accepting any challenge that the assured modern motorist may throw at
it, Niro combines a mischievous character in a clearly robust and
substantial yet stylish bodyshape featuring a mix of contrasting
materials - including stainless steel elements - in compact, purposeful
dimensions.
Born out of Kia’s
determination to seek new compact-car options for the individualistic
and demanding driver for whom size is an issue, Niro features intriguing
elements not always associated with smaller cars and has been created in
Europe with European tastes and expectations very much in mind.
Niro’s unveiling in
Frankfurt will be used to gauge potential customer response for future
showroom models.
