2019 Kia Niro Garden Grove CA

Over the past few years, the crossover utility vehicle classification of vehicle has quickly begun taking over the marketplace, surpassing even sedans as some of the most popular models available. In particular, the subcompact crossover segment has blossomed and grown exponentially over just the past three or so years. Our own entry into this segment, the 2019 Kia Niro in Garden Grove CA, has been one of the most talked-about models in particular.

The subcompact hybrid crossover not only counts itself among one of the early entries in the segment, as it debuted for the 2017 model year, but it counts itself among the very few hybrid utility vehicles available on the market. It’s so efficient, in fact, that it set a 2016 Guinness World Record for the lowest fuel consumption by a hybrid vehicle.
