South Korean car maker KIA Motors has unveiled the Niro EV compact crossover in its production guise at the the 5th International Electric Vehicle Expo in Jeju, South Korea. The car was first showcased as a concept at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January this year, and the production-spec model borrows several cues from the former. The new KIA Niro EV will be making its global debut at the Paris Motor Show later this year.
The announcement is in line with Volvo's plan to launch mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid or battery electric vehicles of all the models it will launch from 2019.
Based on the fifth generation of eDrive technology, the new BMW iX3 electric SUV brings in fresh package of technology along with new and more powerful batteries.
