2017 Kia Niro Tampa Clearwater St. Petersburg FL

Only Kia could make a crossover that is stylish, fun and fuel-efficient, and also give it a hybrid powertrain that helps it get up to 50 combined miles per gallon. That, friends, is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the benefits of the all-new 2017 Kia Niro, which is set to hit dealer lots likes ours in the Tampa, Clearwater and St. Petersburg FL area in early 2017. So what is it about this spectacular hybrid that merits the tagline - "A Smarter Kind of Crossover" - of its new ad campaign, one which will culminate in a Super Bowl ad featuring all-world comedy star Melissa McCarthy? First up is the Kia Niro's eco-conscious powertrain, which has a gas engine with 104 horsepower married to a tractive motor with 43 horsepower to combine to pump out 139 net HP. But that's not all, as the lightweight-yet-spacious construction of the 2017 Niro allows you to drive 52 mpg city, 49 mpg highway in its base trim, the best fuel economy by a hybrid crossover yet.
