Kia Drive Wise
The Niro has a few unique driver assistance features, such as the Blind Spot Collision Warning system with integrated Parallel Exit. With this feature, your Kia emits a warning when an obstacle enters your blind spot so you can perform evasive steering or braking maneuvers to avoid an accident. The Parallel Exit feature is a special program that alerts you when a car nears your blind spot when you are exiting a parallel parking spot.
The base LX model is also equipped with a Forward Collision Avoidance system with integrated software for pedestrian and car detection, which enhances your safety on urban streets. The Safe Exit Warning system works by alerting vehicle passengers when cars approach the rear of the vehicle so that doors can remain closed until the other car passes.
Interior Features
The LX has a dual-zone automatic climate control feature that allows each front-seat passenger to set a personalized air conditioning temperature. The front windshield is designed to absorb sound and reduce heat from solar energy to keep the cabin comfortable and quiet year-round. This model even has a heated windshield to make it easier to remove ice and snow during the winter.
Infotainment is another point of pride for the Niro. The LX comes with an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen and compatibility with smartphone-integrated apps via Apple and Android devices. You can sync your smartphone to your car with wireless Bluetooth technology for seamless playback of all your favorite podcasts and playlists. When you download the Kia Access app, you can remotely heat or cool your vehicle before your next ride.
A hybrid like the Niro is an ideal vehicle for daily commuters and suburban dwellers because of its phenomenal fuel economy. Test out this Kia when you visit Mike Kelly Kia in Butler, PA.
