The Kia Niro PHEV is the best-selling plug-in hybrid in Spain

Kia Niro plug-in hybrid

There is not the slightest doubt that the electrification of engines has come to stay. More and more car brands are betting on it, although it is no less true that it is partly an "imposition" of European anti-pollution regulations. In any case, today it is time to congratulate the Kia Niro.

the niro of Kia It is a model that offers three electrified alternatives, three differentiated versions. On one side is the Conventional Hybrid Niro, who was the first to arrive, and another Kia Niro PHEV, which is a gasoline plug-in hybrid, as well as the Kia e-Niro, fully electric.

The Asian brand is in luck in our country. So far in 2020, the Kia Niro plug-in hybrid is the sales leader among PHEV models in Spain, with no less than 1.000 units.

Yes, a thousand units may not seem like much, but we must bear in mind that this category in Spain does not yet have a great weight. In any case, it is true that the growth of sales of this type of vehicle has a very ascending line.

Kia Niro PHEV Sales

If we add the sales of the three variants so far this year, more than 5.600 Niro have been registered in Spain since January 1, 2020. The Kia e-Niro accumulates 511 sales, which is not bad if we take into account that sales of fully electric models still represent a very low percentage of the total market. Logically, the conventional hybrid (not plug-in) is the most demanded.

Since this model began to be marketed, in Spain it has approached 25.000 units marketed. For its part, sales of the crossover are close to 150.000 in Europe.

As a reminder, these are the starting prices of the three mechanical options of the Kia Niro in our country:

Spring Suspension Price
Spring Suspension Price
conventional hybrid € 20.100
plug-in hybrid € 24.500
100% electric € 37.263
