Every time a new vehicle enters the market, it’s treated like it will be the next best thing. That’s a lot of hype to live up to, and if the price isn’t right, models often fail. After all, how do you prove a vehicle is worth the cost? Well, the 2017 Kia Niro Hybrid is a vehicle worth watching out for, as it recently took home the title for lowest fuel consumption by a hybrid vehicle. Note, not a hybrid SUV, but a vehicle. That means even tried and true options like the Toyota Prius aren’t able to deliver in the same way the new Niro can.
Officially, the 2017 Kia Niro receives an EPA-estimated 51 city and 46 highway mpg rating, which is stellar for a crossover. Still, you’d be right to think it isn’t quite record breaking. EPA estimates are based on expected average driving practices, while Guinness World Records focus on pushing things to the extreme. You’d be surprised how much you could save on fuel if you focus solely on getting the most out of your vehicle.

The Guinness World Record for 2017 is based on a coast-to-coast drive from Los Angeles to New York City, which the 2017 Kia Niro was able to do while sipping an average of 76.6 mpg and using a total of 4.1 tanks of gas. The Niro EX trim was selected for the drive and was driven by Wayne Gerdes and Robert Winger. Wayne Gerdes is something of a professional when it comes to long distance travel and getting the most miles out of a vehicle, as he’s the man behind CleanMPG.com. If anyone can pull the most efficiency out of a vehicle, it’s him.
The 2017 Kia Niro is set to arrive in dealerships in the first quarter of 2017, so stay tuned here at the Garden Grove Kia Blog to learn more about availability and future trim levels for this promising hybrid.
