Kia have received another recognition award in this years' DieselCar and Eco Car Awards, with the all-new Kia Niro hybrid winning the 'Best Hybrid' category. The Kia Cee'd and the Sportage models were in within the top 50.
The all-new Niro was launched back in August 2016 and gives its drivers high efficiency and low running costs with the style, practicality and desirability of a compact crossover. Ian Robinson, Editor and Publisher of Diesel Car and Eco Car said: "Some hybrids have often come under fire for being awkwardly styled. but not so the Kia Niro, which embraces the booming crossover trend, but still offers wallet-friendly running costs."
Last years' car of the year for Diesel Car was the Kia Sportage and it came in at a respectable third place in the 2017 awards. Finally, the cee'd received highly positive recognition from the judges with its sharp, handsome looks, generous equipment levels, good road manners and economy.
