NEW YORK, April 18, 2019 — Kia Motors America (KMA) is pleased to announce that the Niro EV was selected 'Car of the Year' by Popular Mechanics magazine.
'We picked the Niro EV for Car of the Year because it's an electric car that would be appealing even if it weren't electric,' says Ezra Dyer, Popular Mechanics automotive editor. 'But it is electric, and it delivers the usual EV benefits without much in the way of EV sacrifices. It's smooth, quick and quiet, with plenty of range and an affordable price. The Niro EV feels like a preview of the near future, when cars like this are the norm. But right now it's the exception.'
