Electrified automobiles appear to the future of motoring and they come in a variety of flavors, the most proven of which is the gas-electric hybrid. But the packaging around them can be quite different. Well Kia thinks they’ve got the perfect blend of fuel efficiency and utility in their all-new Niro crossover. The Kia Soul EV is the best all-electric vehicle I’ve ever driven. But if you’re not ready to make the leap to electrons and protons exclusively, Kia’s got the Optima Hybrid, Optima Plug-In Hybrid and now the Niro. Those other 2 are sedans but the Niro is a small wagon or crossover, if you will, offering as much as 52mpg depending on trim – the highest mileage of any Kia without a plug.
