Everything is new on the 2017 Kia Niro, from the LED positioning lights to smart interior technology and a bevy of standard safety features. While it does look a little different than its first inception in 2013, the Niro has become a household name thanks to some new ads starring Melissa McCarthy and additional exciting concepts.
