The 2017 KIA Niro is breaking records with its performance capabilities!
Back in December, the KIA Niro, KIA’s Crossover Hybrid
Vehicle, took home a Guinness World Record title for the lowest fuel
consumption for driving across the United States. It drove from Los Angeles to
New York City with an amazing 76.6 MPG, making this the new record-setting mark!
Wayne Gerdes of Carlsbad, California and Robert Winger of
Williamsburg, Virginia traveled from the West Coast to the East Coast in the
Niro EX (total of 3,715.4 miles) on just 48.5 gallons of gas – that’s just 4.1
tanks!
“We’re extremely pleased with the Niro’s record-breaking
performance,” stated Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning KMA. “We
set out to build a vehicle that offers real-word utility, great looks and
fantastic mileage, and setting the Guinness World Record title confirms our
achievement.”
The KIA Niro is the first of its kind. It has closed the gap
between outstanding fuel economy and compact crossover utility, as well as
creating an ultimate driving experience for all St. Louis drivers.
Its high-efficiency 1.6L GDI engine and a
smooth-transitioning dual-clutch automatic transmission contribute to this
truly unique driving experience.
The KIA Niro will provide any St. Louis driver with pure fun
and fuel efficiency behind the wheel, so be on the lookout because the 2017
Niro should be rolling into Jim Butler KIA soon!
