BERMAZ has today introduced a new electric vehicle under its Kia brand, with the Niro crossover set to take the fight along to the very hotly-contested sub-RM300k compact electric crossover segment. Combining bold styling, cutting-edge technology and practical flourishes, the Kia Niro EV will go head-to-head with cars like the Hyundai Kona EV and even the Ioniq 5<\/a>, as well as the Mercedes-Benz EQA<\/a> and BMW iX1.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At RM255,800, the new Kia Niro EV is not the most affordable B-segment crossover. In fact this pricing puts it right alongside the more premium players on the market, which has certainly raised eyebrows. We’re not entirely sure what Kia Malaysia’s strategy is with this, but we’ll take it at face value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a 64.8kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the Niro EV offers a maximum 460km rated range on the WLTP cycle. Motive force comes from a 201hp\/255Nm motor mounted between the front wheels, which can propel the Niro from rest to 100km\/h in just 7.8-seconds. \u201cEffortless and smooth progress in all conditions,\u201d or so Kia promises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
