Kia Niro hybrid

[mrtc1]

I bought a pearl white Kia Niro self charging hybrid, I decided to get this sensible car as I felt I needed to grow up and stop changing things on car but I have decide to do a few little touches, up to now all I've done is debadged the boot, a kind friend made this photoshop to show me what it will look like when I have the tail lights tinted

You've left the worst badge on it.

And why tint the lights? Wouldn't it be better if people could see what they do?

I can't think of anything more pointless than tinting the lights on a Kia Niro hybrid

Funny you should mention the Kia badges, I'm tempted to put black and silver batman overlays on

Why not? It wouldn’t look ridiculous at all, would it?

[Nickbrapp]

On the contrary I like it, the lights look quite good too, and nothing wrong with a Kia

What’s it like then? What’s it do on a charge? Is it similar to how a Prius works?

I was musing the other day that hybrids have only really taken off as company cars now middle aged reps can spaff their pants over a 330e, if they really cared about bik or the environment they would have chosen a Lexus or a Toyota years ago

I've ordered these shark fins

Imo it's better than a Prius, good spec and it has a decent 6 speed auto gearbox, the prius isn't very nice to drive, the Niro is lovely

[mrtc1]

Also ordered this bumper protector

They look great. Have you found the council thread yet?

[mrtc1]

No not yet lol

Maybe this could be a 'what does the job better than a Kia Niro' thread?

Niro ...... Prius ..... choose

With such a difficult choice what else is there?

Is this thread a troll?

[mrtc1]

I quite like the look tbh

Makes it look a bit Golf GTI



Still its a kia hybrid it all seems a bit unnecessary...

[mrtc1]

I will admit the car is slow but its so comfortable, it drives lovely

I'm also thinking of having the roof wrapped and changing the mirror caps to black ones as they are 25 quid for black caps,, probably cheaper than wrapping tbh

What sort of performance increase do these provide?

[Nerdherder]

The Niro is ok. Saw one with a different Kia logo a while back. Not sure what Kia’s thinking behind this different badge is. Sure does look better than the regular one.
