The second-generation Kia Niro crossover, available in three electrified variants, will go on sale in the U.S. this summer in all 50 states, the automaker said Wednesday.
Steven Center, Kia America's COO, called the gasoline-electric hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric Niro "the trifecta of electrification." The latest Niro is built on what the automaker calls its K3 chassis.
"Part of our electrification strategy is to sell electric cars everywhere, not just to comply with regulations and the exempt states, or the California standard states," Center said. "People want electric cars all over the country."
