Kia reckons that today"s drivers view cars as merely vehicles"; a big box to transport humans and dogs and empty crisp wrappers and old boxes and so forth. Kia therefore wants to change the way you view what a car" actually is. By unveiling, um, a car. This is the Kia Niro EV concept: a battery-electric small SUV that forms part of the company"s Big Plan to have 16 new advanced powertrain" cars on the roads by 2025. This Niro packs a 150kW (201bhp) electric motor powered by a 64 kWh lithium-polymer battery pack. It is, we"re assured, built using new production technology earmarked for "near-future EVs" from the South Korean giant.
